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!

Hello dear authetticator, I have come across this balenciaga bag but I’m unsure of its authenticity. I believe it is a vintage piece as the seller has stated so as well. I’ve asked if there was a serial code on the tag but the seller said they couldn’t find one thus it made me very skeptical. Here are the photos that were provided to me. Thank you in advance xxEEF0DB65-C7A8-40AD-9BBB-EB2C139A6069.jpegB17A49F4-76CC-44F4-A6EF-ED429A2EDFE7.jpeg EB8A0EB6-350D-40C7-BD16-96FC942A6FD9.jpegA62C4F1A-468B-4DCE-8F53-503DB0F4186B.jpeg

Sorry, I'm not familiar with vintage non-moto bags.

Thank you. Any other places I could check? Contact Balenciaga customer service? Not sure if they would know anything about authenticating.

I don't know if Bal would be of any help, from what I doubt they'd help with anything other than an item purchased at their boutiques but you could try.
I can't pull up anything with the style number and/or colour code. I don't recall Bal ever using riri zippers or logo-ing hardware ( a very Alexander Wang thing but he didn't start with Bal until 2013), but again, my thing is moto. I seem to recall seeing this style before though? Calling in the troops... @ksuromax , @peacebabe , @Conni618 ? Anyone familiar with this style?

I can't find the exact one like mine (yet) but there are a few that look like mine on the following article from purse blog
https://www.purseblog.com/balenciaga/fashion-week-handbags-balenciaga-spring-2012/
The paperwork look legit to me. The RiRi zipper head is from the inside zipper pocket. The main zipper head is quite large. I'll keep looking to see if I can find more info.

Same vibe on the bags. The tag and river look OK to me. Check out this pick below, I think she's carrying something similar to your bag.
