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!

Thank you for helping me and actually thank you all for providing this invaluable free service to anyone needing help.
I already sent it back and hopefully any potential buyers will happen upon this forum before spending their money.
I read somewhere in the forum recently about a spate of fakes coming out of Canada. The item I received too closely resembled a couple of Ebay items currently active originating from Canada. But in the end even though it passed all hardware and specification authentication tests, it could not pass perhaps the greatest test of all, the touch and feel test.

Good for you for being vigilant! And yes, there is a particular company selling several high end brands under various names on various sites. Be wary of bags coming out of eastern Canada, primarily Quebec, especially ME City bags for Balenciaga.

Im glad that you made the right move to return it! :tup:. I must say that most of the authenticators & qualified members here are BIG fans of Balenciaga. If we are "not comfortable" in giving a firm opinion, the item must be fishy. We really appreciate members, like yourself, for the respect & trust given to us. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Im very sure you will find a good one for your wife! Just make sure to post here for authentication before paying ;)

These are really such nice bags even from a guy’s perspective (who doesn’t know the first thing about bags). Thank you for the sound advice. I think my next go I’ll be spending more money to get the real deal. She is worth it after all! :)

Thanks for the input on both bags, peacebabe!
Will try to get more pics of the black one, if I manage. Frankly I just love the bleu paon! on the other side black is classic and can be accompanied by the longer strap which one can buy now separately. :heart:
