I'm very new to this so please forgive me if I am not doing this right. I see that everyone here is asking to authenticate their Balenciaga bag, so I'm hopeing I could do the same. I have reason to believe that my bag I had purchased is authentic but would like to get some confirmation and help assesing. Here are some photos to view. This is the Work Bag, I believe and is from 2004. I've researched about the bag and for the most I've researched about the bag fits the discption. All zipper tab has Lampo, code in front and back matches, knots from string is there if you look deep enough, this doesn't have leather in pocket because it's 2004, and rivits are flat like thumb tacks. I'm not sure if the front will also look that way. Because leather can stretch and shrink size is very close to what I researched online, little over 17x10x7. Please give me your insight, thank you!

Can some tell me more about Balenciaga Work bags made 2004, what are the characteristics you will find different from newer models? Example, will you find that the handle rivit/ studs to be flat? Or are they all the same throughout the bag?
This is a craigslist ad, it's super cheap, so I smell fish

Hello, need to see closed-up, sharp & clear photos of the rivet, front & back of the tag. Back of the tag should have "MADE IN ITALY"


Okay. I will try to take better pictures asap and post them! Thank you very much for looking! I think it does say "made in italy" at the very bottom where the seam line is but it's embossed very lightly and hard to notice/read. The seller did mention she bought it a few years ago so she says it might have worn off?

Peacebabe , the pink balenciaga I posted u say is not authentic?
 
Hi authenticators! I appreciate your time and effort to help out second hand buyers like me. Can you please authenticate the following item for me?

Item name: Authentic BALENCIAGA Rose Peche Lambskin Leather Giant 12 Silver Mini City Bag
Item number: 222555259818
Site: eBay
Seller: thefashionseller
Item link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/222555259818?ul_noapp=true

Not sure if this is Rose Peche though.. maybe this is a blush or sand rose? asked the seller if the color is close to the real item and he answered yes.

Thank you so much!
 
Can I just ask a quick question please, before I post for authentication? Was there ever a metallic gold A tag first? Year 2005 maybe? Thanks so much in advance xx
Bronze, silver, pink and pewter, all had raised silver hardware. I don't see a reference to gold on the colour charts but feel free to post. :smile:
 
Am I doing something wrong that no one has an opinion on the authentication of the bag I posted?
I sent you a reply on the chat thread as to how to post correctly. Right now you're hitting "reply" on other people's posts rather than posting your own. Plus the few authenticators we have come online when they can so you may have to be patient for a bit...
 
Item name: Pink Balenciaga ( bout all I know)
Item number: ??
Site: facebook
Seller: personal
I'm just wondering if this balenciaga bag is authentic or not. And if the theory of "the tag on the inside will always have back stitching across the top to be authentic and if it doesn't then the bag is fake" is this true??? Thanks!
