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!

Hi! I already ask the seller to take some more photos. It wasn’t shipped yet because I just bought it a few hours ago. I just noticed now that the serial number at the back (115478) is not the same on the front plate (115748). Does balenciaga makes mistake with those serial numbers? Thank you in advance!

Can someone please help authenticate my 2013 black city with gold ghw?
The leather feels very authentic but would be great to get a second opinion! I just brought it preloved, but in excellent condition..

Thank you for the additional photos, but they are not helpful, blurred and unclear, i cannot see the back of the tag properly, besides sideview pics are difficult to work with. By the look at other markers i tend to say not authentic, but 100% confident answer can be given only if all needed pics are clear and sharp and in the format that we request.
Sorry if it sounds too much, but we judge only on the photos provided, the more and sharper they are, the more accurate is our opinion.
Hello. Got the bag today. Counterfeit. You were so right. Thank you.

Yes. As soon as I saw that plastic mirror and touched that leather I knew. I will take additional pictures before sending back.
Forgive me for posting so many entries. The seller is wanting your confirmation that the bag is counterfeit. I'll post more pics.

The bag smells like plastic. The hardware is rough and has a rough ridge around the bottom. The made in Italy is all wrong. Aside from not being the word Italy, there is no dot on the i. The zippers do not pull closed well. If you would like additional pictures please let me know.

I was wondering why this bag smelled like plastic? Because it is plastic. Check this out ladies and gents.

Looks fine. No red flag

Thank you so much! It smells and feels wonderful. I also couldn’t find anything suspicious about it - however, I bought if off eBay in near perfect condition for an almost too good to be true price! Seller swore it was authentic and just needed a fast sale. Relieved everything has checked out! In love with this bag!!!
 
Forgive me for posting so many entries. The seller is wanting your confirmation that the bag is counterfeit. I'll post more pics.
Now as you are adding more pics, and they are of better quality/resolution, would you please, give us some time to review it??
As i said in my first post, initial pictures were not clear enough, let us double check new pics :)
