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, there is only front of tag photo, no back of tag photo. Rivet photo is incorrect. Please check my undersigned link and check the photos again. Make sure you get the correct one before posting again

Here are the extra photos I received from the seller :smile: Hope this is okay- the front/back photos are on the listing. Appreciate your help!

Hello, missing photo of back of zipper head. I need a sharper & more close up photo of the front tag. Please ensure tag photo in correct angle, not upside down or side

Dear Balenciaga all experts ,
Please kindly help authenticate this Balenciaga giant 12 Work bag - black- since I am not familiar with this brand.
Truly appreciate all your help and thank you so much in advance.

To all of the posters looking for authentication...

Please check the link below for the photos needed. As one of the helpers on this thread I can say that the authenticators spend as much time asking for the correct pics as they do actually authenticating bags. I know it's frustrating when you feel you've been passed over but if you don't have the needed photos we can't help you. If the pics are blurry we can't help you. If the pics are too small we can't help you. If they're upside down or sideways we have to save them to a program to turn them around, and that takes extra time.
All of the authenticators here are volunteers. Please do your best to make their tasks easier.
 
Hi,

Please authenticate :smile:

I've messaged the seller to provide the following:

Bale (curved metal hardware that attaches the strap to the bag)
Rivet (round metal stud on the back of the handle)
Zipper underside
Front buckles

Hoping she'd respond.

Hey again,

Sorry for my continued mix-ups! Just received all photos from the seller. This should be all the required photos/ ones the seller has provided. There are more in the Ebay listing.

Looking forward to hearing back from you and thanks again for all your help :)

Hello! Would you kindly authenticate this item please? Thank you in advance!

Also, to clarify for future requests. If it is an item from Fashionphile (or similar site) then I don't need the item # and seller ID, correct?

Item Name: BALENCIAGA Agneau Classic City Black
Item Number: 205973
Seller ID: Fashionphile
Link: https://www.fashionphile.com/balenciaga-agneau-classic-city-black-205973
I think the link is sufficient. While all of the needed pics aren't there I'd say it's authentic IMO. Fashionphile is pretty reliable.
