Authenticate This Balenciaga

[Vlad]

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!

We don't discuss authentication points on the public forum. Most of the photos needed are missing anyway.

Hi all, please help me authenticate this balenciaga classic city metallic edge black ghw

I'm afraid I can't comment on any ME bag with a short tassel on the front pocket. We've checked with several sales assistants and none so far can confirm a metal edge bag with a short tassel. Sorry! If you wish to PM me feel free

Hey dear people, would you be so kind and authenticate my bag?

It's a Balenciaga City in Ink (2006). I bought it preloved and posted it some days ago in the Identify this thread.

I'm not used to Bal bags pre 2010, so maybe you could have a close look at the bag. The leather seams to be thinner than the leather of my 2014 black Bal. Anyway, Thanks a lot

Authentic IMO. I don't know which 2014 you have, the ink would be chevre leather and well broken in.

Sorry the details in these pics aren't close enough for me to see clearly. Perhaps someone else can comment?

The only thing that's kind of irritating is, that you can see white lining (?) at the bottom-line. I'm including two photos of it. Have you experienced something like this before and is it normal? Moreover, the silver tag inside is a little bit bigger than the one of my 2014 bal, but maybe that's because they changed the material of the plate? Or maybe I am just too picky ☺️

Nothing is screaming fake but K tags are tricky. Can you post a picture of the entire tag back nice and flat and close? And a picture of the back of the zipper head?

Having a bit of a hard time figuring out exactly what I'm looking at re: the white bit, it's a little too close. As to the sizes of the metal plates, it's like comparing apples and oranges, the plates have gone through more than one change over the years. Again, I don't know what your 2024 bag is or where it was purchased so it's difficult to comment.
