IMPORTANT READ-ME

Please see post #1 for complete Balenciaga authentication rules. All requests must be posted in this thread. Authentications are not done via private message or in any other thread.

See the link below for examples of the photos needed and the format they should be in (clear, close up, forward-facing, no angles, right way up, no bends in tags).

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/required-pics-for-balenciaga-authentication.741442/

A link to the listing in question is required.

It is an authenticator’s right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format. If the listing you are interested in is missing photos it is your responsibility to request them from the seller prior to posting in this thread.

Thanks and be well!
 
Hello ksuromax & muchstuff!
The IMGUR albums are linked to my original request where it says "my own photos" ^^

Here are the IMGUR links again, which should contain all the required pics:
Day: http://imgur.com/a/tKzNM
Twiggy: http://imgur.com/a/Xbnwn
First: http://imgur.com/a/MjbhV

Please let me know if I am still missing something. Thank you!

Hi, sorry for the delay. I was with my cell when read your post and wanted to see better pics on my computer.
Like our @muchstuff and @ksuromax commented, all, the three Bals look authentic.:smile:
The Twiggy I would say it could be vert d´eau from F/W 2010 and the First agree with 08 sky blue.

Thanks aalinne_72, ksuromax and muchstuff for such a quick reply! You guys are great! :flowers:

Are we all in agreement that the Day is a 09 Galet? If so, is it S/S or F/W?

Are the numbers on the tag tied to a specific color? I'm thinking of dying the Twiggy a dark reddish color to cover the nasty handles and dying the First turquoise, but I don't want the tag to be inconsistent and make the bag seem fake. Any suggestions on other colors that might work? I'm in rehab mode. :graucho: Lol

As always, thank you!! [emoji56]

Galet looks likely but It's always hard to tell from pics. If so it's F/W. From what I've read the colour codes are not consistent other than 1000 for black. Unless you were trying to resell it wouldn't make a difference if you dyed them and the codes didn't match anyway, unless it's your inner OCD telling you so (speaking from experience here). Re: the DYI, I'd try to restore rather than change the colour. Not a huge fan of dyeing bags, but if the bag in question is past it's "best by" date I'd try to bring it back to it's original state instead of giving it a new colour identity!
 
Dear Authenticator,
Please authenticate this Balenciaga gold hard ware hip cross body bag. Have paid for the bag already and hope the bag is authentic. Thanks in advance for the help.
