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!
 
Authentic in my opinion.
:yahoo: I feel so lucky, she’s in amazing condition for 14 yrs old! Thank you so much!!
I compared this bag with so many trying to figure out the color with the tags not being pictured. I was guessing 06 Camel but hoping for 06 Cognac bc I didn’t think I’d find and 05 Z tag Caramel in this condition. She’s not even broken in yet and the price was a steal!
Thank you for putting my mind at ease as I am free to fall in love now :girlsigh:

My pleasure, that's TRR for you, I've found some great bags there but they don't help you much with their listings.

Both bags are authentic and are owned by trusted TPF members.
 
Hi guys, i'm a Bal noob. Saw this from Ebay Kleinanzeigen and thought the leather was lovely, didn't want to pass up the chance so I bought it. Did some research before and everything looked okay from the few photos. Once it arrived and I saw the tag my suspicions were raised (why is it riveted and why are the text embossing indentations so deep?) and then I saw the non-Lampo zippers and freaked out a bit... Think the prognosis is not good but wanted to confirm before I request a refund from the seller...

Please be patient, we're all volunteers here and have busy lives. Authentic in my opinion. If posting in the future please be sure all photos are right way up and the details are close up and forward facing.
