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 see some subtle areas of concern. Would need a clearer photo of the back of the tag. This photo seems to be out of focus. If you can provide that it might help. I'm not certain if you are saying this came from Balenciaga.com?

Of course, i don't :smile: feel free to send me anything :smile:
as far as i am concerned the first set of numbers stands for the model, the second - for the colour, at least in most cases, and as there's no consistency in the third set (sometimes it's not even there) i reckon it has no relevance to the bag itself, it must be something for the Bal system

I'm sorry for the amount of photos- and the poor photography skills- but here are pics I took (after getting some tips from ksuromax) of all the rivets and bales.If you still find my poor bag shady looking after this, I'm just going to pack it up and send it back. I have total trust in you, you are nothing short of amazing to the rest of us :hugs:

This bag is one of several I've been unsure of from this season. If you want to keep it, it would probably give you peace of mind to send it to a professional authenticator. Also that would give you some confidence if you ever want to sell it.

I'm more comfortable with one of the features in the new photos. Two of the features still make me nervous. I'm going to send you a PM with photos of them taken from a known authentic bag. I'd like you to compare.
 
Hi Peacebabe!

I received my bag and am happy with it hoping its authentic. But I noticed the shoulder pad is not included on the strap. My question, is that normal for this particular bag? I found stock photos online that show the shoulder pad but am not sure it's the same bag size. Any light you can shed on this would be appreciated. Attached you'll find some pictures I took. Thanks so much!
