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!

Sorry about that. It is almost in the seam.

Fake!

Why?

 

[muchstuff]

Why?

Just my opinion, but clearly fake, I agree with @ksuromax . We don't discuss all of the reasons on line so as to not help the counterfeiters but if you compare your bag to an authentic one you'll see the difference.

I did compare all the attributes to what is provided here on the forum and all checked out. Not sure what else I should be looking for.

 

[ksuromax]

Why?

because all the features are off
there's a link below my post with the picture of the authentic Balenciaga, you can check the rivets, the plate, the leather tag font, and you will see the defference.
To make it clear i'll post 2 pics, yours and the Authentic bale, see? yours has rough, thick ending, authentic has smooth wedged tip

What would be the best way for me to find photos of an authentic city bag of that year so that I could compare? Thanks

bales and rivets are the same for most of the years, just VERY old ones might have flat solid rivets

Additional photos in reference to post 11383. I’m having a hard time getting a good pic of the tag.

Try without the light source shining on it (or your flash if that's what it is) I know it can be frustrating. Also we need it without any bends in it so try holding it up by a bottom edge.
