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.

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!
 
It's not the color that looks off. It's the tag & the rivet unfortunately.

@Conni618 Hope you can chim in

Purchased online... it's brown in sunlight but indoor lighting shows a completely different color, like a chocolate wine if that makes sense. Very odd, but from what I've read, Black Cherry is hard to capture.

I can take clearer photos of certain details if that helps... I've cleaned the bag and it's drying now so I can condition it tomorrow, it looks better.
 
Hi Authenticators! Would you please check out this city? The metal plate is very cloudy, unfortunately. It needs a good cleaning and conditioning but it has the makings of a smooshy bag!

It's definitely a brown with purple undertones, but not like some Black Cherry photos I saw. Although there seems to be so many variations of this color, from brown to dark cherry...

TIA!!!
Wow, I didn't saw the serial before, it's off :amazed:
I had a 08 Black Cherry City and " made in italy" should be not in capital letters. Can you return it?

Let me find out if I can... [emoji20] Is it for sure non-authentic based on that? I've never had to return anything due to authenticity before, I wonder if I will be required to show proof?

Hopefully Conni can chime in her 2 cents!

If it's for sure non-authentic I will see about returning it. If I can't, do I dispute with PayPal, or straight with my CC company? I've never had to that before so I have no clue what to do! I'm so disappointed. [emoji20]

I suppose that's what I get for being greedy and wanting too many at one time! [emoji53]

My Cumin and Coquelicot have capital letters, and both were authenticated here... do I need to try to return those as well? Theyre so pretty, I've fallen in love with them so much. Just my luck. [emoji20]

Hi authenticators,
Can I please ask for your help again to authenticate my Work G21 ( I think). I can't get the number on the tag very clear so if you need more pictures let me know. But it says 173080 1669

Thanks in advanced!
