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!

I know there aren't that many photos and it's hard to authenticate without proper photos and I have asked for more but I just want to get a veteran in this bag dept to let me know if anything is major is going on. Thanks so much for your time and energy in helping us newbies out

Hi just bought a balenciaga from a personal shopper. It's a Balenciaga Metallic City Edge in Black SHW. However, I doubt the bag as it doesnt have an embossed leather tag but a printed one instead. I asked the seller buta she said it is due to the updated version of the 2017 bag. It's in a thick agneau leather.

Without commenting on authenticity i guess that could be due to different leather, older ME were made in chevre, this one is lambskin (according to the tag)

I think so too but I need to confirm on that because I have never seen the serial number tag like that in any version of Balenciaga. I wish that this is due to version update.

If either of you are the purchaser of this bag, please post the relevant pics when you receive it. The pics of the tag are too hard to read clearly. Also please post pics of the bale and the rivet.

Hope all these pictures help. It's hard to see the numbers in the pics. It's 390149.1000.E.002123

Hello,

I'm not familiar with the 2017 bags YET. So i can't be sure of the silver embossed though i know some of the older Papier range used such ink embossed. And im also curious about ME now having Agneau leather instead of Chevre. I will have to go to the boutique to check it out when time is available. Sorry that i can't help much now
