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!

Is this bag authentic? I was told it is the Balenciaga ‘classic city size, just with the giant 12 gold hardware and without all the tassels (tassles on the mirror only).’ Thank you for offering this service; really helpful!

Thank you for your response. Here are more pictures. I requested them from the seller and she sent me these...they look ebay-affiliated but I can't find a listing on there...red flag or normal?

Here is one of the links I was sent as a I could only attach 12 of the 13 pictures to this post.

I'm sorry but the pics just aren't good enough for authentication. Even if I try to use my phone to zoom in they blur, there's no good forward facing clear pic of the bale, the rivet is missing, the pic of the tag back is on an angle and only partially visible. Please look at the pics in the link I posted for examples, all pics must be clear, close up, facing forward, no angles.

Here is eBay link to one of BALENCIAGA bags. Is it real?

That's a very bad fake.

Thank you again for your efforts. The picture quality may have gotten downgraded in translation so hopefully this is it. I also got retakes on some of the photos as requested.

A "classic" City has the regular hardware, this would be called a G12 City. It looks authentic in my opinion, although I'd like a better pic of the tag front. I've also asked a couple of the other authenticators to take a look as we've had some dodgy "F" tag bags lately.

EDIT: @ksuromax is happy with it as well.

Thank you so much for your insight! I’m extremely green at this and since it’s kijiji, there is not much recourse if I get a lemon.

I will try to get a better front tag pic.

Any time, it's both of our opinions that the bag is authentic but if you get the tag pic be sure to add your last post number to any new posts.

I knew it. Looks so bad. I told to the lady I would like to text to eBay about her... but she was insisting no that’s an original so I post it here.

Hello ladies
Here I come with a silly question. I know it’s probably fake (by the bales?) but...what do you think? Could it by a prototype? TIA!
psd: take a look to the inside tag!

i am afraid your gut feeling is correct, it looks fake to me
and holes on the tag from the removed plate only confirm this guess indirectly, that must have been really obvious fake plate
the front panel cut is totally off, too
