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!

It’s authentic but has been redyed from off white to black, I would return it

Thank you so much. Have spent hours trying to work that out. Did not give that a thought x

I ladies. I bought this bag impulsively without much research. This is my 1st balenciaga/ 1st preloved piece ever. Could you please help me out to see if it is authentic. The bag is supposed to be from 2004. Thank you so much in advance

Authentic in my opinion

Could someone please verify the authenticity here. My first Bal. And just realizing the front ID number does not match the back!

Here is the link. Asvertised as City Medium but ID É 103208 would indicate its F/W 2015 first city do size doesn’t line up either...

Hi and welcome to tPF...we do have a rule that we don't authentic via private message, sorry (otherwise the authenticators would be inundated). It does take a bit of time for a reply and you've only just posted so hang on and I'm sure someone will get back to you. That said, I don't remember ever seeing an authentic bag where the style codes don't match.
Re-post with very clear, front-facing close up pics. Post the front and back of tag, the bale, the back of the zipper head, and the back of the rivet. Plus a good shot of the entire bag. You're less likely to be overlooked if the pics are exactly as needed.

I'll post slightly better pics. All I have!

i agree with Much, i don't feel good about a bag with non-matching codes, besides, back side of the tag is too unclear (for me) to judge.

Is it strange that the city model number, 115748 appears on the paper tag but not on front of metal plate on the bag, but stamped in leather on back? I can’t find a single example where the numbers don’t match, front to back. The seller is super responsive and adamnt about authenticity, saying it was purchased in Paris. It’s so hard to authenticate

Does she have a receipt?

Does she have a receipt?

regardless of the receipt, which could be totally irrelevant to the bag, i still cannot see any tiny reason why First's ID would be placed on City's plate

Ksuro the OP has cancelled the purchase. Wise move IMHO.

better safe than sorry

Hi! I purchased a bag on Poshmark. It's my first high-end bag and I think I realized too late my great deal was maybe not as great as I thought... I have until tonight to release payment to the seller, though, so if it is not real I might re-think keeping.

Item Name: Balenciaga Giant City (I think)

Any insight? Thank you!!
