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!

Are you sure? The black stitching on the front tag looks off and a bit uneven...

Yes it does look uneven. I'm looking at everything, not just the stitching on the tag. (We don't know if the tag came partially unstitched and someone hand-stitched it, which is what it looks like to me).
The giant covered hardware was from 2008-2010 (this isn't brogues as listed, it's giant covered hardware. Brogues came afterwards and has a contrasting background in the perforations). The straps on the giant hardware bags are wider, which is why the bales look different than the ones on a regular City bag for instance. The font , both alpha and numeric, is correct for this season/year of bag. What I can see of the rivet looks correct. The zipper tape is the correct colour for a mandarin bag. The stitching and leather at the ends of the straps where the bales connect looks correct. The pattern of the perforations looks correct. The style and colour codes are correct. So you can see, there are a lot of small details that we look at. Of course, as I said, it's only my opinion, but I believe the bag is authentic.
