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!
 
Dear Balenciaga authenticators,

I would be greatly appreciated if you could kindly assist in authenticating this bag that I am interested in. If the bag is authentic, would you kindly advise how old it is or what year its made in.

Dear Balenciaga authenticators,

I am sorry to bother you, I had posted this earlier in the week but I didnt have sufficient photos and hence perhaps my last supply of request photo may have been missed. I am unsure of how to do a follow up with my previous post because I had supplied photos on separate posts so may have been confusing.
Additional photos attached as requested. Sorry for the trouble.

I would be greatly appreciated if you could kindly assist in authenticating this bag that I am interested in. Thanks in advance

I believe it's authentic. The handles are bugging me a bit though, but it might just be because the bag has seen a lot of use and they're fairly soft. You might want to ask if the colour has been touched up because the rivet on the back of the handle appears black.

Both black bags, the clutch and metallic plate look good and consistent, but i don't have much experience with them and if you need a more professional opinion, then i suggest you wait till one of our Bal experts have a look.
If you know that origin of the bags is trusty, but want to have a second opinion just for your ref, then i think you are ok to go :smile:

thanks once again for your help:smile:

Hi muchstuff,

This is the seller's reply " Nothing has been touch up. Original photos taken by iPhone 7. Balenciaga original city bag has all the rusty rivets."

Not sure if that helps.
 
May I please ask for assistance with this wallet? It's my first Balenciaga wallet so I'm not completely sure what I'm looking for ☺️

Thank you so much for any help you might be able to provide. Few more photos to follow in second post.

Item: black metallic edge wallet

Not really :lol:. I just think the handles are soft, the seller does say the bag is well worn. The rivet looks dark but the shape is right.
 
Looks good. No red flag :amuse:
