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!
 
Thank you BPC! I was wondering because of the 2011 City I'm looking at. I was hoping for extra pockets as they're quite practical.

I can say that I have a Coquelicot purchased from Bal that doesn't have the inside pockets. It was purchased in 2012, but it never came with the year card so it could be 2011. Or, Bal didn't start the pockets until F/W 2012. I'm hoping someone can answer because if it's S/S 2012, then my Coquelicot is 2011. So yeah, I'm curious too!
 
Hi!

Could anyone help authenticate this bag? Would be much appreciated. I know that all the needed photos isn't in the listing but do you see any red flags?

Item: Balenciaga classic city

Just wondering if this quilted jacket is definitely Authentic. The collars buttons look different to others I've seen and not sure why they are silver in one pic and black in another, sorry, amatuer!

Hi ladies, I am wondering if you can authenticate this Balenciaga Papier A4 listing on Ebay. I read in another thread that this seller may have sold counterfeit items in past, but on eBay she appears to have 100% positive feedback. Thank you so much in advance.

Item Name: Balenciaga A4 Papier. black zip around
Item Number: 391722168207
Seller ID: ******
Link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/391722168207?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT


here are the pics from the listing:
939665052_o.jpg 939665055_o.jpg939665058_o.jpg 939665062_o.jpg 939665064_o.jpg 939665068_o.jpg 939665071_o.jpg
 
Hi ladies, can anyone kindly let me know if this bag is authentic or not? So sorry, I know these pic are not of the best quality but thats what I received from the seller. I hope someone is able to tell its authenticity from these pic. I have done some research over this bag, from what I see the only red flag is the stitching on the zipper pull where all the bags have 2 stitchings at the top of the zipper pull but this bag only has 1 stitching across at the top of the zipper pull. But I am no expert at all, I don't own any Balenciaga bag. Therefore I wish someone could kindly help me. Thank you so much in advance!

This is the Balenciaga Mini City Rose Azalee GHW

Hi - can you please help me authenticate this Balenciaga Part Time GG21 (from 2012 F/W collection) - apparently there was a LE in the F/W 2012. I just recently bought it from Vestiaire Collective (in some pics you can see the tags) and apparently it comes with a receipt, since it is a LE I am not sure if it is authentic. I know there was a very similar authenticated in here https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ormat-in-post-1.883898/page-580#post-29539572 but it was a balenciaga city and the codes look very different (although both have a k). It came with a receipt which does not include the code it just mentions "Balenciaga G21 PA". Thanks!

Hi, from what i see, it looks ok to me
codes can vary because of different colour/size of the hardware, K stands for the year and season only.
