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!

#1 looks good so far but missing bale shot taken straight on & flat

#2 the same as #1

#3 Looks good

#4 I'm not familiar enough to render an opinion



Please ask seller for additional shots for 1 & 2 and re-post citing post #88 when you get the additional pictures.


Thank you so much mmd1313!! Will ask for the bale shots and get back to you asap. Thanks again!!
 
Dear Beneficent Experts,

I am citing posting number #10526--Now that I have the item in hand, I am able to add more shots of the billfold and a close up shot of the serial number & "Made in Italy" logo per your helpful request. (It is a difficult location and stamp to photograph but hopefully is okay...)
The serial and made in italy stamp is just inside the top card holder inside the billfold on the same side that the Balenciaga stamp is shown.
The serial number reads: 310699.1000D 353583 The first 3 numbers on the last set of numbers (353) is super hard to discern because of the black,etc. so those 3 numbers may be similar looking digits.

Thanks very much in advance for your kind and great assistance!!:flowers: :D

(A few more pics will follow in the next post).

...here are a few more pics adding to the previous post #94 citing post #10526
the silver on the last photo is copper color only because of reflection. The small tassel rings on this billfold are thicker than on other Bal bags I have seen, but I haven't have the classic silver hardware before. This is my first Bal "wallet or billfold" I have the coin pouch which is much thicker softer but I guess for wallets the leather needs to be thinner and more structured. It doesn't have any suspicious qualities, seems of excellent quality, but I wanted to check as it is from Gilt and I haven't purchased from them before, and read something about Gilt and Bals...

Thanks so much in advance!! :heart:

Thanks again!!![emoji8][emoji8][emoji8]
 
This is authentic to me. :smile1:

Thank you so much Conni! May I ask should I be worried about the fact that it doesn't have any authenticity card or leather swatch etc. although seller states that it was purchased from Neiman Marcus. It only has the price tag. I'm not familiar with the store so wanted to ask your opinion. Also he mentioned the bag was purchased in spring 2015. Does the model/number match?

Appreciate if you could reply. Many thanks again :smile1:
 
Thanks so much in advance!! :heart:

...here are 2 more pics adding to the previous posts #94 #95 citing post #10526
My apologies the serial code stamp is so faint and hard to read in real life and hard to photograph as the leather on the wallet is thinner and doesn't imprint very deeply...ironically I just took these and they are better than natural daylight pics--it is nighttime in extremely low light TIA!!:smile1:

Please ask seller for straight on shots of the zipper head, serial plate front & back and a rivet taken like these pictures. Once you get these, resubmit your request citing posting #101 and someone will help you out.
