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, i tried taking a look but the link is not working. I don't get to see the bag.

U can request for those photos, including what Conni's told u, and post it again.

Thank you so much! I also love that your avatar is "Tux" because my other passion besides luxury goods is...luxe cats!

I will ask her for these photos. After that, do you know which authenticator would be best? Or can you take a look? Thank you so much!

Hey guys- I'm new here and after reading the rules I sort of think that this thread might be the right place to post and I'm sorry if it's not (please don't get mad!)

I recently purchased the Balenciaga Classic City Calfskin in Black (link https://www.balenciaga.com/us/classic-city-handbag_cod45340196ut.html) from the actual website for the actual price and it should be authentic but I'm slightly worried because my Mom made a comment about the bag being held back in the postal office for daaays (although they are not the best postal center) and she told me back in her days designer goods gets swapped quite easily so you should always be careful and keep an eye on it.

Kinda worried but the packaging seems to be in tact and I don't really know if it's been swapped or not based on the fact that it looks legit and i did buy it from the actual website. Just confused cause it's my first Balenciaga. Any comment?

Sidenote: i'll upload a picture once I'm off my phone. Now I'm on phone and can't figure out how to do it haha

I might be as worried as you but how can a bag got swapped at the post office, do they have that many fake bags available in all colors?

Back where my mom came from they usually track packages from where it came and to who it's coming, if they're not a "regular" receiver of luxury goods then they'd have no problem switching the goods cause the receiver wouldn't have noticed it.

They bring it from the postal office to a counterfeit center or whatever they're called and switch the original with the fake. I'm not super sure but that's a good point that you made.

I'm living in Europe now and it shouldn't be that shady. Also the package came sealed and still in the black box, the letter, and with all the little paper inside so should be alright? Or should I be worried?

Hi experts,
Please help me authenticate this item:

Item Name: Balenciaga Shoulder
Item Number: 332243688453
Seller ID: brand_jfa
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/332243688453

Just received this Bal shoulder that i've purchased on ebay. It is in excellent condition but the leather feels funny. It smells of glue and rubber as well and I got worried.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Need more photos. Would need to see the front of the inside tag, a rivet, and there should be an imprint on the hardware attaching the strap to the bag.
