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!
 
i think your gut feeling was correct, it's a fake, a good copy, but not authentic
Yes, I ended up just requesting a return. I’m positive it was fake. Wow, it was a scary good fake though! They still could not get the stitching perfect, tag embossing right, and I think the color it was in was not offered for the FW17 season. Thanks again for providing this great resource for Balenciaga lovers!!!

Hello guys,

I am interested in buying my first balenciaga. so, I found what I think is my perfect day to day bag. Please help me to authenticate this bag

Item Name: Balenciaga Traveler City Blue Black Messenger
Item Number: 142919876118
Seller ID: luxebylucca
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/142919876118

Thank you in advance
I'm not really familiar with this particular bag, I believe it's the men's messenger. Pics aren't sufficient, could you please post a good pic of the tag back (forward facing, close and clear) as well as a pic of the rivet and the back of the zipper head.

ah ok. the back of the tag pic I put is not enough? I will ask the seller to provide me with such photos.

Was wondering if Someone could look at this Balenciaga tote. I’ve never seen one like this and seller states it’s 100% authentic.
I asked seller to take a picture of the underneath side of the leather tag inside purse.
Seller states this is a much older style so no serial number underneath the leather Tag that has Balenciaga and Paris underneath.

My understanding is that Paris went underneath Balenciaga In 2011 or 2012. I Also asked for a picture of the zipper and there is no imprint of Lampo or B. There is absolutely nothing on it.
If someone could take a look I’d appreciate it.

I'm afraid I can't help you with this one, let's see what the others say. There were similar tags back in the early 2000s on some of the Moto bags.
