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 Muchstuff, might be a little bit off topic, however, the leather of the bag is pretty rough and crinkly. I know that it’s distressed leather, but is that normal? If not, what do u suggest that I do? Thank you once again!
 
Nothing's screaming fake at me but the pics really aren't good enough. (There's one rivet that looks as if there are no notches but without better pics I can't tell). It's a metro but I can't give you a colour or year sorry. I think it was roughly 2008-2010.
Thank you! I have requested additional close up photos. I will update when I hear back.

Some bags/seasons are more distressed than others. Some seasons the coating put on the leather is more evident as well, I've seen that with the 2012 bags, not that knowledgable with the 2014 leather. Pretty much the only thing I can suggest is trying to condition it and see if that helps, it may be dry and in need of some moisture.
 
Hi ladies! Can you help me authenticate this Balenciaga Work bag? Thank you!

I don't know why I can't enlarge this tag pic, I could enlarge your other pics. I'd like @ksuromax and/or @peacebabe to take a look, I think you're OK but I like a second opinion on K tags. (Please remember in the future to quote the original post number when you repost so we don't have to search for it). Original post is #12624.

Here you go. I hope these are clearer. I also included a pic of the handles.

Pics aren't really clear enough, can you please repost with a clear pic of the rivet and a clear and close up (and right way up) pic of the tag front. Please reference your original post number.
