Authenticate This Balenciaga

Vlad · Apr 9, 2020

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, looks fine. No red flag. :amuse:

Over here, we don't comment on the pricing as it's very individual preference. Enjoy your Day!

Hello, this item is SOLD. Are u the buyer??

Yes, I am the buyer. Did not realize the order of doing things (check here first). Of course, there is a window for return.

Hello, based on the photos, nothing alarming. Just that the back of the tag should have a 3rd line of "MADE IN ITALY". It may be hidden under. You may like to double check with the seller

Dear Purseforum
Can you help me see if this is authentic? I have a suspicion it's not.

Thanks in advance

Thank you! The tag is my question mark, for the reason you've mentioned. Just didn't know if there was anything else. I'll be sure to check that/font once it's in my hands. And I'm still not sure I can live without the original strap. We'll see...

I'm sorry, your suspicion is correct. This one is not authentic.

Nothing alarming, but can you please post a closer shot of one of the rivets at the base of the handle?

Name: Metallic Edge mini city

Can you please authenticate this Metallic Edge Mini City for me? I haven't purchased any Bal bag for the past 5 years so I can't really know the diff.
