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!

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

Thank you. Yes of course. In my opinion, the bag seems to be made of pleather. The zipper is not plastic, but the edging is plastic/vinyl, as is the mirror. I actually took a video of the mirror yesterday at work an am trying to find a way to share it. It bends easily in both directions. Not even a hard plastic. The bag has been carried as is evidenced by the pictures, but there is no wear on the bottom edges which is also consistent with plastic leather. I looked through all my old bal photos and see that the real bal leather is real. This is not the same, not even a hint of leather feel or smell.

Authenticators, please comment. I've seen quite a few bags put up for authentication on this thread that do not have lampo zippers, instead they have a B. Are all those bags with the B zippers fake? Also, I had a bag that was authenticated here as authentic, and it did come with extra tassels that were stored in a coil in a plastic bag. Is that not how extra tassels come?

Lampo stopped in 2014, AW collection had B zippers till date.
Extra tassels stopped in 2008, on the bags made in 2008 onwards it's believed, the technique changed and they were not prone to splitting anymore, but for some period of time they were still possible to get from the store on a separate note.
P.S. some owners didn't like the hanging tassels and cropped them, some removed and replaced the pull by a small charm and kept the tassels in a plastic unused, etc

i don't see any red flag
the info card sometimes might not be there, especially when you are buying from a reseller and not Bal directly.
presence, or absence of the cards does not anyhow affect/impact authenticity of the bag, which in your case, imo, is legit
Z at the back of the tag stands for 2018 SS, it's chevre (goatskin) and Metallic Edge silver
