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!

The rivets for this bag should have notches. I'd ask for a better pic.The tag looks fine to me (I've seen it on Yoogi's). They do have a thirty day return policy according to their site, I've personally never purchased from them but I do think they're pretty reliable.

Thanks for your response, muchstuff! :flowers:

I'll probably buy with that black Friday coupon if it doesn't get snapped up by someone else first and post all the right pics when it arrives!

Authentic IMO, looks like perhaps a 2010 bois de rose.

Thank you so much for your help! Yes, I actually went through the colour chart just to identify the shade :biggrin:

2010 leather is usually pretty nice :smile:

or, it also could be Rose Bruyer from 2011

You guys are absolutely incredible! Thank you. I just measured my wrist and sadly it is too large by half an inch. I appreciate your quick responses and knowledge.

keep in mind that it's a wide model, it will not sit exactly at the wrist line, but a tad higher, and then you might need this half inch extra

from what i see the bag looks good to me, but i would guess it's Automne from 2009 and not Cognac
what bugs you is not a red flag but normal feature of any Balenciaga strap from the back side. Just due to its age it has become a bit floppy and corners lifted up a bit.
Maybe i'm confused about the colour, pics are either too lit, or too shadowed, but the bag itself looks ok.

Yes! surprisingly buttery and soft (I hope I am using the right description). Once again thanks for your help!!

Hi, please help me check this Giant Bal City. I believe this is 2012 Glycine. I have attached some photos. Please let me know whether you need other photos taken. Thank you very much for your help.
