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 Lovelies! Hope you could help me out with this First. I just picked it up from a local seller and it appears to have some quirks - I actually think it might be quite old so not sure if the quirks are from its age or if it's just a really nice feeling fake.

The leather is VERY soft, light, and thin feeling. The zippers (my main concern) are silky smooth but don't have a Lampo stamp on the back. In real life the color is quite dark and has a dark green cast - can't tell if it's faded black or maybe an olive.

Sorry there's no picture of the bale - the bag did not come with the strap.

Thanks for your help!

Item Name (if you know it): Balenciaga First
The leather tag reads 'BALENCIAGA' on the front and '100667•213048' on the back with 'made in italy' all lower case below the number.IMG_1797.jpg IMG_1794.jpg IMG_1795.jpg IMG_1796.jpg IMG_1791.jpg IMG_1792.jpg IMG_1793.jpg IMG_1788.jpg IMG_1789.jpg IMG_1790.jpg

Paging @aalinne_72 ! Looks like an authentic very early 2001 or 2002 bag but aalinne's the one to confirm.

@landkat and @muchstuff
If I’m not wrong, 02 olive it’s F/W so everything should be ok. Please, can you post a clear daylight indoor pic with no flash so we could confirm?

Tag back should say fabrique en italie not fabrica en italia. Fonts wrong on tag front, sloppy stitching, no pic of rivet or back of zipper head but I'd say fake.

Hi all! I'm new to Bals and just starting my collection. I don't know why it took my so long but now I'm obsessed! I just bought a mint condition Twiggy off Reebonz and was hoping you guys could take a look. I don't have a lot of experience using Reebonz, why're supposed to be pretty legit, right? Here's the link with the pics they have posted. I would really really appreciate it if one of you would take a peek at them. If necessary I will gladly post more pics when I get the bag. Thanks in advance!
