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!

That was really quick! Thanks so much! So the bag looks ok, but the strap needs some clarification? Maybe it was repaired? I can ask for a better pic of that and see what she comes back with. All in all she's been really responsive to post new pics, but dang why can't people just have good pics?

Yes Its authentic but there just seems to be some difference in the stitching on the portion of strap I can see, but it’s not a great view of it. It may be nothing but it doesn’t hurt to get a better look if she’s willing.

Ok, I will see what I can get and post back here. I'm in a different time zone than her, so it will probably be this evening before she gets back to me. I really appreciate your help :flowers:

The pics aren’t great for showing condition but it’s a great season/year for chèvre.

Wow! Ok, I'm sold :biggrin: She said the condition was good/gently used and I asked a bunch of questions regarding wear, so I'm hopeful it's as described. Just waiting to hear back about the strap...
You should go to bed! Don't let me keep you up, it's 10 AM here :nuts:

Further to @ksuromax 's comment, while we don't usually divulge info on what makes us think a bag is authentic or not, in this case I think a little more info for you would be a good thing. Balenciaga has changed the logo on the back of their zipper heads to a double B for the F/W 2018 season. Your bag still has the single B. Is this an indicator of a fake, or is Balenciaga simply using up the last of its old zipper stock. We have, in the past, seen outgoing and incoming details in the same season so until we've seen more of the Y tag bags we really won't know. The font on your bag seems a little different than the other Y tags we've seen so far but camera angle or type of leather could also influence that. I've not researched the site you purchased from so cannot comment personally on that. Sorry we can't do more for you...

Thank you for the additional information. I was debating on asking what was the irregularity that you saw initially but you answered it anyway so thank you for that. I appreciate the time that you put into this. Hopefully, my inquiry will help you in authenticating similar bags that come your way. It seems that the bag that @Garrie posted is similar in style.

no, Garrie's is different, it's chevre (yours is agneau) and it's Metallic Edge (yours is classic)
