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!

Hi all, just wanna check the authenticity of this Balenciaga City Medium. Im very keen to purchase it but just wanna double check with you all before i wanna buy it from the reseller. She told me she bought it during Christmas 2016... but I think serial 'J' is around 2013? Thanks all.

this is Hamilton chevre (goatskin) with brushed gold hw and it was produced/sold in 2012/2013 period, bag is authentic in my opinion, and they are pretty rare and hard to find, especially in good shape

the metal plate is inconsistent, plus back of the tag also has a red flag.
Sorry, but we do not disclose exact details in order not to help the bad guys
But i am sure that bag is non-legit

Thanks dear. I think it is authentic too but she can only provide me the dustbag. Since without any receipt or card, Im quite doubtful...

cards and/or receipts mean nothing, as they can be easily misplaced and have to any ref to one particular bag.
Those bags were limited edition, and they are really beautiful with that special matte gold hw.
if i love the bag, i buy it regardless of extras, they are coming along - great, no? i don't care, as long as the bag is a real deal and in great shape.

Yes dear. I agreed with you on the receipt/card part. The reseller told me is the 'Christmas Grey 2016' version but its indeed sold around 2012/2013 period. Thats why Im quite skeptical haha. She also refused to tell me where did she get it from. I guess now I can just safely buy it? hehe.

Hamilton was indeed 'Holidays' edition, but not 2016 as J stands for SS 2013.
i can find a number of reasons why she say it's 2016, but it's irrelevant as long as we know for a fact - 2016 should have D for SS, or C for AW seasons, and J is for sure 2013.
Don't worry about the age, this is hardy goatskin and it only gets softer and better with time.
