Hello ladies,

I just want to comment on the Papier tote.

I must agree that the front of the tag looks pretty good. My Papier comes with smooth zipper too. As for the tassel, i agree with Much that it must been some "mishap" or cut before. And from the tag, this Papier tote produced before 2012, if not, it will have the "Alphabet" at the back of the tag.

My main concern is the numbers on the back of the tag. All my earlier Papier bags carry the same set of number other than "613245". And from your photo, i can't tell exactly what model is your Papier, thus, i can't telly with the model number too.

Do you happen to have any paper tag?[/QUOTE]
Hello!

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this, really appreciate it!

I don't have anything else, they just sent me the bag... What strikes me the most are the numbers because they are not embossed, clear and not even in a straight lign!

Hello,

Not all Papier tags are embossed. I have some of mine printed in Gold too. Just like yours, also not in straight line. So those are not my concern.

I need to bring to your attention that Balenciaga Papier range is the most difficult to authentic. Even for my own, i can only relax & be sure till i physically touch & feel it. I would suggest that you bring it to a store for authentication help, no point going for online authentication for this bag.

Sorry that i can't give you a definite answer for your bag

Thank you! I live in Portugal and I don't think there is a store and can go for that, unfortunatelly. The touch doesn't feel very luxurious and it has a very strong small, as ir the leather was not properly treated. As I'm not confortable with it I sent it back (it was sold as good as new but the tassels are fraying). Let's hope they give me back my money...

Thank you again!

Hello, I was hoping for some help please. I am new to the Balenciaga authentication page, please advise if more pics are needed and I apologise if I have posted the wrong ones/types of pictures, again please advice if more is needed. This is a bag that I am interested in purchasing from a private seller/friend, I would just like a second opinion before I buy.

Many thanks

@peacebabe Thanks my friend for your assistance with this. Can you tell me what year the Papier line started? I can't find anything in the reference threads prior to 2014 and there's no specific clubhouse thread that I could find.

Sorry we couldn't come up with a firm answer for you...IMHO sending it back, even if it is authentic, will probably give you more peace of mind than keeping it and always being unsure...

Unfortunately yes, i am sure :smile:
C letter indicates 2004 year, hardware must be silver, yours looks like brass (yellow metal),
Rivets are not consistent with Bal, silver plate stamp is wrong size....

Add to that the fonts are wrong on the tags, alpha and numeric, and the Lampo stamp and trademark don't look authentic.

What I can see looks authentic IMO but I can't see the entire tag back with the "made in italy" heat stamp and the bale picture isn't helpful for authentication.
