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!

Hey all,

Not sure if this is the place to post about it. But I saw this shared in the Balenciaga finds a few weeks ago and thought it was a good enough deal despite the condition. I received it today and while I'm likely not as experienced as the authenticators here I own Balenciaga bags and frequently peruse them at stores and everything about this bag feels fake. From the leather feel to the smell (ick!) to the overall craftsmanship. I'm hoping I get it settled on eBay, but I'm really sad because I was so excited for a bag in this color! :/

Do you want to repost here with your own pics?

Thanks muchstuff!!

For what it's worth what I see in the original link doesn't raise any alarms. Can anyone else look at post 7855? @wobertow can you try to repost the additional pics?

Out atm but sure I suppose I can later. What also makes me uneasy is the bag states year 2010 on the tags but the seller's receipt states a 2009 purchase.

It wouldn't be unusual for a pre S/S 2010 bag to be available in 2009.

I've reached an agreement with the seller and don't wish to discuss this further as to badmouth or taint their reputation. Thanks for your input, though!

@peacebabe is our Papier expert, what I see looks OK to me but hopefully she can chime in. Looks like gris aluminium from F/W 2014.

i am kinda late but still will say - i agree with you, nothing looks alarming

Does this tag look right to you? Is it not supposed to have stitching? It is on a turquoise hobo bag

No, it does not look right, but in order to give you accurate opinion Authenticators need too see not only the tag, but some other features and the whole bag itself, see post #1 for all required pictures

Hi,

Could someone please help me authenticate this piece? I recently purchased it and login shot is attached. The sweater feels light-weight btw (don't know if this helps)

Thanks in advance!
