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!

This bag is the City style but has the style number of a First. I'm unable to authenticate it.

The seller said she inherited the bag from her aunt who already passed away. Maybe i will pass this time to be safe. Thank you Conni618. I appreciate it

 

[Marmalady]

Thank you. Unfortunately, I'm unable to authenticate this one.

Thankyou anyway! Is there anyone who can help?

I can't authenticate without the back of the tag and a rivet, but bale and silver tag look "spot-on."
If you are the buyer post pics of the missing features when you receive it. My guess is that it's an 05 Caramel City.

The seller provided these pics. Thanks!

Can someone please look at mine real quick? Pretty please?! I don't know how to post without "replying" so I'm sorry if I'm doing it wrong.

I'm 99% sure this is authentic, but I have a small concern about the bales at the end of the long strap.
Bales used to be a very specific shape, for years on end. Recently, they've undergone a bit of a transformation. Probably just a tiny fluke, but their shape on this bag looks more like the earlier seasons' curvature. I expect this season to be a bit thicker and rounder.

Every other feature looks perfectly authentic, so if it concerns you, please do a little research on the F/W 2012 bales, and compare their shape with these. Also, keep in mind, that it is quite possible that bales from a previous season were used on this particular bag.

Thankyou anyway! Is there anyone who can help?

I'm not sure what they charge, but you might consider a professional authenticator. Best to check this forum, and the ebay forum, and look for one who is expert in Balenciaga.

The bale photo is helpful and it looks like it would be on an authentic bag, but I'm unable to see the rivet or either of the imprints on the tag well enough to confidently authenticate the bag.

This City is authentic in my opinion.
