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!
 
Got it. Just wondering as there is an authentic version of this same bag on ebay that is listed for $1200. Maybe the replica will go for a fraction of that. Anyways thanks again for your help.
Any time! The prices on eBay vary from seller to seller, some are overly optimistic. Could depend on colour, season, type of leather, type of hardware, condition. There are a lot of variables.
 
possibly, i needed to be signed in?
or, it shows the listing in full on the computer and only one main photo if you're on mob? :confused1:
Hmm, I'm not sure. I definitely see all photos on both mobile and computer but that said I have issues with the site too - I can't sign in via laptop for some reason and this morning I couldn't send messages via mobile (but it rectifiied itself). It's possibly a bit glitchy. I'm actually not very familiar with the site though and only discovered it searching for a Pompon. I was a little nervous about trusting it but the good thing is that if you can find a trustworthy seller, I think there's a chance of finding those one-offs at a good price like the Pompon and Folk I found. Not sure where you are based but there is probably a local version for you (perhaps certain regions also have restrictions).
 

Hi Moderators,
Have added more pics, hope this will help authenticate the bag

As I mentioned in my last reply, the tag has to be legible, both front and back. I also asked for a good shot of the bale which I don't see here. Try taking the tag pics without a flash, maybe outside. And they can't be bent, they don't help if they're not what we need, sorry.
Look at the pics before you post again, if you can't read them neither can we. Please reference the original post number and your last one so we don't have to search the thread for all of the photos.

I can't believe it, I finally purchased my first Balenciaga bag and it arrived today. Being my first, I have no idea how to tell (I only made sure to buy from a seller that I've had nothing but amazing experiences with in the past with other designer goods), so any help in authenticating this bag would be greatly appreciated. If any more pictures are needed, I'll gladly upload more. I'm so excited!!! TIA.

Looks promising could you post a pic of the rivet and the back of the zipper head just to be sure? Please reference your original post number.
 
Can you please read the information below and post the pics needed. We need specific photos. And they need to be taken in a close up, clear forward facing format with all letters on tag front and back visible, no angled shots, no bends in tags.
