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,

1st of all, the paper tag stating the year & model number, etc, does not belongs to the bag. Your bag is a 2014 bag.

Next, can you take photos of front & back of the tag again. Kindly make sure all letters & numbers are sharp & clear. Also take photos of other rivets.

Oh my god, I hope I did not get scammed... I bought it from Vestiaire Collective and always heard good things about their quality control... I believe I saw this exact bag on the Balenciaga website last season so I thought that it was legit... I'll be so gutted if it turns out to be a fake! Can Balenciaga stores authenticate bags if I call them with the serial number?

Please find below more pictures. For reference, the numbers & letters on the back of the tag are : 281770 . 4160 . G . 534763

Thank you so much for your help!IMG_2011.JPG IMG_2007.JPGIMG_2008.JPG IMG_2010.JPGIMG_2009.JPG IMG_2012.JPG

Hi peacebabe and other authenticators, if you have time would you kindly check out posts 4365 and 4366? I'd like to make sure my new to me Cumin (confirmed the color on the ID thread) is indeed authentic before falling even more in love with it. My Black Cherry is arriving tomorrow or Friday and I have to decide which to keep (maybe both?!?!?! Yikes!). Thanks a lot!
 
Hello dearie ...... sorry that i may ve overlooked your post.

Anyway, looks fine to me. No red flag. Yes, it's a Cumin :smile:. I used to have a Cumin Town. Unfortunately, sold it as i can't stand the leather. I hope your's fine :amuse:

Hi Peacebabe,

I re-uploaded some pictures in post #4382. Hopefully, you'll be able to see better... I'm also returning it back to Vestiaire for a 2nd quality control just in case... Thank you for your help :)
