Authenticate This Balenciaga

[Vlad]

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!

Can anyone help me to authenticate this balenciaga bag? Thank you!

Bag name: balenciaga bubblegum giant city with silver hardware
Bag ID: 173034.1000.002123

The reason is because the color code says 1000, which is normally for black?? Thank you!!

I'm sorry but it's not authentic in my opinion. Pretty decent fake but still.

Sorry it wasn't better news but good of you to catch the anomaly on the tag!

Exactly, if not because of the serial code, I almost thought this is an authentic one. Thank you again.

Take a good look at the front and back of the tag, compare fonts...that's probably the easiest thing to see. After the incorrect colour code.

Hi muchstuff, can you please recommend a third party online authentication company? The seller insisted it is authentic unless the third party says otherwise...

Or they won’t refund me

@ksuromax will you confirm that the bag in question isn’t authentic and also do you know of a paid service the OP can use?

"I would definitely contact Bababei. I have used her for almost every bag I purchased that wasn’t directly from Hermes, even from very reputable sources."
