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!

If it helps, just found out these tags came with the bag from above post (#5640). Does anyone know what year this bag is?

Hi-
I'm very new to Balenciaga and I just received my first new to me town. I would love to have it authenticated for peace of mind. Also if I could get help identifying the color and year. The strap isn't adjustable, so my guess is pre- 2012.
Thanks so much! I hope I've added everything that is needed.

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I last visited this thread.

I'd like to get your opinion on this Balenciaga that an acquaintance has put up for sale. She claims it's authentic, but just the metal plate and the stamp on the back of the tag looks like the font is off. I was hoping more trained eyes could take a look.

Thanks is advance for your help.

Hello, it's non authentic. Please avoid it

I'm just learning about the metal edge mini Cities, so can only offer my limited experience. Perhaps someone with more information can jump in.
Here's the ebay link, found by using the item number:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Balenci...144525?hash=item4b1b46618d:g:0UsAAOSwbiFZXUP~

According to the hardware and imprints, this bag appears to be authentic. However, the other metal edge chevre mini Cities I've seen have a different style number. In my experience, the same style, same season, but gold hardware, the style number should be: 390160. Perhaps the hardware colors have different numbers?

Sorry I can't be more decisive. Hopefully someone watching can help.

yup, they are different by size and colour of hw, 432831 is valid for the small City and should it be printed (not embossed) then the colour of the printing paint shall be matching the colour of the hw

what i see from these pics looks good so far, but close ups of rivets and bale is still desirable, just to be safe :flowers:

Thank you so much!

hard to judge by the given photos, tag back is not clearly visible, rivets are blurred, zipper head is not listed at all. Can you ask them for required photos?

Hi all! I'm not very familiar with Balenciaga (just getting into luxury and started with Vuitton!)... but I saw this in a charity shop and it was cheap so it wasn't much of a risk money-wise. I've done some research myself and from that I can say that the leather does feel smushy and the zipper is Lampo. I'm concerned with the tag. The font might be off and I know the back is not centred as normal. I'm mostly convinced it's a fake, but was hoping for confirmation from people more familiar with the brand! Thanks for any help :smile:
