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!
 
Hi. I need some help identifying the following Balenciaga bag. I doubt it can be authenticated from the photos provided (based on reading about the required pics), but can someone tell me if is a City Bag (as stated in the listing) or something else? Thank you very much!!! I really appreciate it.

OOPS-- I should have posted under "identify this Balenciaga" which I've now done. But I can't figure out how to delete this post. :(
 
Hello, first time poster here. This may become my first Balenciaga and I'd be grateful if you could authenticate it for me:

Item name: Balenciaga Giant Mini Pompon with rose gold hardware
Item number: Is this the number stamped inside the bag? I have requested this from the seller but don't have it yet.
Seller ID: simone.s_preloved
Link: https://au.carousell.com/p/balencia...f_referrer=/simone.s_preloved&ref_sId=9640307

I have also requested and received these extra photos from the seller. Thank you in advance!

Looks promising but pics needed for authentication are missing. Please see link below in red for photos needed. All must be close up, clear and forward-facing, no bends or angles.

Thanks (again) muchstuff. UnfIortunately I asked for the photos before I discovered this authentification thread. So I hope the remaining one she sends (if she does) fit the bill. I'm a bit reluctant to ask her to take more photos again as I suspect I'm already getting annoying with my million questions! We'll see... but I am really falling in love with this Pompon (this would be the pretty one!) so I hope it works out. Thanks again for the quick response and I'll update any extra photos I receive.
 
I haven't received any other photos apart from this one that I requested - of the receipt. I know it's not the bag itself but does it give any clues about likely (in)authenticity? It was purchased from Cult Status, a luxury bag store in Perth, Australia. The 2012 year/date matches the release of a colour that year called Glycine - which from what I've seen from swatches online seems to match the bag. Also the finish on the tag - 'Fleur pleine .... ' seems to refer to a leather finish that seems to match in that the leather has a lot of 'cracks' and idiosyncracies. But I am not sure what all the codes are ... The seller does seem trustworthy in that she states she has receipts for other bags too. Also, I am just wondering how likely would it be that a Pompon in that colour would be faked within the same year of production - especially since it's not one of the house's most popular styles?? But I'm far from an expert ...

The colour code on the paper tag is for jacinthe, not glycine. Glycine is S/S 2012 and the paper tag indicates F/W 2012 which does match the correct season for jacinthe. We never really count the paper tags because its too easy for them to be faked and I can't authenticate absolutely for you without the pics needed but if I wanted this bag I would feel confident taking the chance. (Google Balenciaga jacinthe to see the colour, the swatch on the tPF list doesn't do it justice).
 
I need to know ASAP. Let me know

Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to get the last bag, so my quest continues. Appreciate you taking a look at this one please. Wondering also whether it is a black or anthracite? The seller says its not a jet black but looks like faded black to grey.. Thanks for your continuing help!
