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).

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!

Hi, can I please have this authenticated. The year and the hardware have me scratching my head..

Authentic IMO, Yoogi's is pretty dependable. Silver G21 hardware was introduced in 07 and marine was done both 07 and 08. Why the head scratch? Am I missing something?

For some reason, I thought G21 silver was introduced in S/S 2008, while G21 gold was 2007?

You're absolutely right. My Mogano has GSH. I had a blonde moment. Thanks.

Hello,
I'd like some help authenticating a bag I recently purchased. The leather seems suspect to me. Your expertise is enormously appreciated. Please let me know if you'd like to see more photos.

It is:
A 2014 Mini Pompon in one of the Rose colors

Thanks so much. The leather made me nervous. I can't believe the different between the Chevre leather from my 2007 bag and this agneau leather! Hopefully this will relax with time. Thanks again.

Don't forget that the leather since 2012 has been coated with some sort of protectant at the factory. Can't say regarding the newest bags but my 2012 mini pom has the same coating. It does soften up over time but still isn't like the old chevre!

Oh, I did not know this about the coating. That is very interesting! It definitely doesn't feel as raw as the old chevre I guess you could say. Oh well, I still love it.
