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!
 
Great idea!

Hello,

I’m so sorry about this. That is how o was taking the pictures because the pocket is so tight where the code is.

It’s also very faint and is only Embossed slightly so is not really showing up even in natural light. Maybe this is a sign it’s not authentic?

The code says:
MADE IN ITALY 515322 • 1000 •002123

That’s barely legible in person in natural lighting as well.

Thank you for taking the time to review. I will likely return the bag of you guys are also finding it difficult to authenticate.

Thanks again!.

try to take a few pics in parts, like 'made in Italy' and the numbers separately close-up
maybe the split shots work out better

Thank you for your patience and advice, you guys are really great :flowers:

I tried more angles and zooming with these pics, if you’re still not able to read it I will cut my losses and return the bag. Winners has a great return policy!

Thanks again for all of your help!

We'll see if @ksuromax can help you with this. Keep in mind the fact that we may not be able to authenticate doesn't necessarily make the bag fake. We just haven't dealt with a lot of these. I've tried comparing it to several others online at reputable stores but even the font seems to change slightly depending on the material/treatment/season of the bag in question. I did see bags with the same style of font on the exterior of the bag as yours.
