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!
 
this is not a First
the plate is attached to the leather tab in a strange manner (glued??) as any normal onewould have been sewn on the sides
rest of the needed photos are not provided.
without them we can't comment on authenticity
with given data i raise a red flag
This has the serial number 103208 which should indicate a first if I'm not mistake.
Also this has a Z season number.. I have only seen one of these and the tag is not glued but rather hooked into the leather via 2 hooks on the plate's back.

I added 2 more photos. I am unfamiliar with what photos are required so I will be very grateful if you can point it out.

Thanks a lot

The silver plate doesn’t belong to this bag. A First is a small bag, this looks more along the size of a Work bag. The silver plates are attached by being sewn to the leather through the holes on either side. The First also has rings on the sides to attach a strap. Totally different bag.
We need a photo of the back of the interior tag. The back of the zipper head, with the logo on it. The rivet, which is the back side of the stud holding on the handles, it has notches cut into it. You won’t have a bale as this bag has no strap.
If you’re not on the app you should see a link in red below. It’ll give you examples of the pics needed. All pics must be close up, forward facing, clear, no bends in the tags, no weird angles. Please reference your original two post numbers when you repost.

Original post number 12342 and 12348.

The leather tag is sewn all around to the bag interior so I can not see its back.
Photos of the zipper and rivet attached.

Thanks for the help

An authentic tag would not be sewn in, you’d see the style numbers etc on the back of the leather part.
Based on what I can see this bag is not authentic in my opinion.

My pleasure. The silver tag is authentic, just not the bag it’s attached to.
exactly my point - plate was used to sell the bag as a legit one, while it's not :tdown:
