Authenticate This Balenciaga

[Vlad]

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!

Yes. It is authentic. Unequivocally.

I honestly wish I had waited for this one (I paid more for the same Black Z and it's not as as pristine/perfect as this one). Oh well, it is all timing.

Hi - I was hoping to have this bag authenticated and then move it to the "Identify" thread so I can get the color name (Rouge Lipstick???). Thanks!

muchstuff, aalinne_72 and s.thige: Thank you for your help everyone!

The 2005 bag I asked for you to authenticate is lovely, it looks more smooth than wrinkly, which I personally prefer. But I'm also looking at a new City I found made from calfskin which is a very interesting contender. (I was surprised because I didn’t know the City was also made from calfskin but Balenciaga have confirmed that it’s correct. So, off to see if there's a thread on City bags in calfskin )

Authentic in my opinion but I think it's rouge cerise. Hard to tell though because in some pics it looks lighter than in others.

Does this help?

Edit, with a little more research it does look more like rouge lipstick. I need a better monitor

Thank you ksuromax and muchstuff for your input. What about other features(other than the colour), do they look good enough to convince you whether it's authentic or not? Sorry to be a pain but can't decide whether to "take it or leave it".
Thanks again xx

I agree with @muchstuff it looks ok for me, but before clicking "buy" button i suggest you request for more photos in daylight full front and full back to make sure colour is even and you are ok with it, Bal colours are well known chameleons, what it looks like in the shade could be totally different from what it will be in the light, better safe than sorry....

Thank you muchstuff!
Sorry, the lighting in my apartment is awful. It is actually a vibrant red.
Here is a pic taken with a flash:

On my screen it does look like lipstick

If this helps, here is my Red Lipstick Town (bought in the B boutique) for comparison.

Looks like they're lipstick twins!

Not really . 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.

Thanks for your opinion. I decided to take a stab and try my luck with the bag and I won the bid. So will find out soon enough when I receive it. Will take photos and post up. Stay tuned.

1669 is one the tag back of a lot of the older bags. As I mentioned I do think the bag is authentic, perhaps someone else can take a look?

Thanks!
