[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!

Hello ! I am new to Balenciaga. I've bought this Classic City on Vestiaire Collective and I would like you to confirm the authenticity before removing any tag. The photos have been taken in artificial lights that's why the bag seems really shiny. On the silver plate, on the bottom line it's written 11 and not H, it's just a scratch
Thank you ☺️

Hi! So the previous item I bought from Tradesy did end up being a fake! I purchased another, so I’m hoping you could give me your thoughts on it’s authenticity. Photos attached. I feel a bit concerned about the strap. It seems rather thin and flimsy. It is also smooth on the inner side- as shown in the pictures and not pebbled like the rest of the bag. Is this normal? Thank you so much in advance!
Balenciaga Metallic Edge City
I believe the code on the tag reads: 115748 1000 G 002123

I’m so sorry about that! I don’t see a link below- I’m not familiar with forums at all. I have reposted pictures hopefully they are better. I can’t get a good picture of the code- but I wrote it in my previous post. Thanks for the help and your patience!

It's not just a matter of the code unfortunately, we examine the font and spacing, etc. very carefully as well, and if it's not visible enough we can't do that. I'm personally not comfortable enough with what I can make out on my monitor to comment, perhaps one of the others will take a look. Sorry . (The links are in red under my post).

sorry to bother you but how do we post in this thread? i would like to request a authentication of a Balenciaga bag but i can't work out how to post?!

The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.

Please post authenticity questions related to Balenciaga in this thread.

- Please do a search within the thread (use Search this thread located on the top right corner) to check if the item has been reviewed by one of the senior authenticators before posting. Try to put your search term in quotes. For example, instead of searching for 1234567890, search for "1234567890"

- Please use the below format when requesting authentication for an auction item:

Item Name:
Item Number:
Seller ID:
Link:

If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available):
then attach any photos

- You cannot post your own auctions. However, should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity. Please note that while it's fine to defend your own auction if its authenticity is questioned, please do not authenticate your own Bbag.

- Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.

- Please utilize the "Quote" feature when responding directly to another post.

- Please post link (eg/ #4888 , copy and paste the post number) to the original query when requesting a second opinion or in follow up post.

- Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.

- Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentications. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.

- Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.

Okay, I think I have it right this time (hopefully)! Lol thank you so so much for your help and patience. If you think it is authentic any information you could give me about the year the bag was made, the kind of leather, collection, etc. I would also appreciate because the seller did not have much info and I’m not very knowledgable about Balenciaga!
