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!

Hey there! I do understand what you are asking. I find it great that you guys are volunteering on here to help us who have no professional purse experience and that is really awesome. I am asking for these fotos each time but I am not getting everything I ask for so I will save you the time and wont post again unless I have all needed photos. I am aware of what I need.
Thanks

Thank you, I do understand that it takes some effort to get all of the photos needed sometimes, and that some sellers for reasons I can't understand are reluctant to give you what you need.
If you've requested photos and are waiting to hear back but have the majority of what's needed, please do post but let us know what you're missing and that you've asked for it, so we're not searching through multiple posts looking for pics. Pics of hardware are also helpful but only one or two are needed. Ten pics are allowed per post and you should easily be able to fit what's needed in one post.
If you do need to post a second time with added pics from the seller, please reference the original post number so we can scan back easily and not have to search for it.
BTW from what I can see the G21 City you posted last looks good but please post the missing pics if you get them.

Thanks for understanding I like in Holland now and people here are very direct if they feel like they are being asked for too many photos they will tell you very firmly. I notice here on marketplaats a lot do not know what quality is and most also dont care if they get a fake. I have seen several fakes really noticable ones selling here for over €1000. Can I ask which photo is needed? Is it only the back of the zippers?

For the last bag you posted? The back of the zipper head and the rivet, the little screw with the notches in it that holds on the handles.
I do think that most people care whether or not they get a fake, its just that some people really can't tell the difference and don't realize there are places like tPF where you can ask. And yes, sadly there are lots of fakes, some with pretty high price points. Some are so awful that you can tell immediately, others not so much. And it's not easy getting a lot of the sites to take down a fake, even if you contact them to say so!

It’s OK I’d say you’re good to go based on what I’ve seen.

This bag is not authentic, sorry.

This bag is not authentic, sorry.

I apologize but could you clarify - What exactly indicates that this bag is not authentic? Thank you!

We don't specify so as not to aid the counterfeiters, but everything is off. If you go through the AT thread and take a look at some authentic bags, particularly ones with a "C' tag, you should be able to see some pretty obvious differences.
