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!

What I see looks OK but you're missing the pic of the back of the zipper head. Can you also include the link/name of the seller?

Hi Bal experts. I’ve loved bal for years but never bought one. My collection is mostly Celine. Today I finally bought a metallic edge bag, mini, in Gris taupe as I urgently needed a more handy travel bag. I bought it in Sogo Hong Kong. A reputable department store with all high end brands. The bag came with papers and stuff but there was a language barrier when I asked about an authenticity card. Does balenciaga provide an authenticity card? I have hard paper cards with the bag I bought not a usual hard authenticity card from other brands.

Also is Gris taupe a popular color? I love the bag I bought, but I confess I may have chosen this color because I somehow felt it was rare/hard to find based on what the SAs said tho I’m not sure since I don’t follow color releases for Bal. I figured I can easily add the black city to my collection later when I return to the states since black is easy to find and don’t want to regret skipping this color.

As I’m new to owning a bal - don’t really know how to find serial numbers etc. can you guys help and let me know what I need to know about my bag including if I should return/exchange it. I’ve attached pictures. Thank you all.

Sorry here are the pics. Some shots taken with flash and without as I could not get better lighting currently.

All pics. Apologies for the multi-post.

Hi, unfortunately these pics are not good for authentication, we would need to see good close ups of the rivets (back side of the studs), bale, tag back and fron, zipper head bottom.
Also, it would be great if you can post a link to the actual listing

I'll take more pics when I receive the bag! Thanks

Hi, pictures shall be straight, flat, no flash, sharp and close. We need to see: rivets, bale, leather tag front and back, zipper head back

Can you please post a pic of the bale? You also said you had the paper cards, can you post those as well please? Particularly the one that has the style code and season?

Do you have a paper tag that has the style codes etc? Anything with a bunch of numbers on it?

Nope and when I asked they said this is all they have. The SA gave me her card and number and I can text her again later. Should I be worried? This is from a large department store in Hong Kong.
