Authenticate This Balenciaga

Vlad · Apr 9, 2020

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, authenticators, please help authenticate this bag. It’s from TJmaxx last week. Thank you!

here is some additional images. I’m not sure when this bag was released, I’m assuming it’s newer because of the new logo. Thank you!

Your pics aren’t close up enough, when I zoom in they blur. Please see the link below for examples of what we need. Close up, clear, no angles, just forward facing and flat to the camera. No bends in tags.

Eek! I made an impulse purchase and feeling nervous. Can someone take my worries away please..

Item: classic City in Mauve from 2012(?)
Link: https://posh.mk/fAgpEQM7C0
Seller: Nancy Waynick
Comment: it hasn't shipped yet. I wasn't able to get the additional pics. I can post them when it arrives unless you tell me I need to cancel.

Cautiously optimistic. The pics aren't very good. But there is a mauve from that season, S/S 2013, and the tag, although angled and not the best photo, doesn't scream fake. Best I can do with what I have...

It's here! I *think* I am safe but please confirm so I can do a happy dance!!

Sorry about all the TPF labels. :biggrin:

Great pics, thanks. Authentic IMO, and watermark by all means, I just found pics from one of my eBay listings on a replica site :annoyed:

I know. I sent them a scathing message, not that it would have done any good.

Woo hoo!

Thank you thank you! :hugs:

The bag is in such great condition and has no signs of wear! I would believe it if the seller said it was NWOT!
Sorry your pic was stolen! Dishonest sellers do it all the time that's why I started watermarking.

I keep meaning to watermark as well but always forget :facepalm:

I use the inCollage app. It's easy to use but there's always an ad after it saves the collage. Minor annoyance but not as annoying as seeing your pics somewhere else.

hi ladies
sorry to bother with just a question (didn't think it was worth a new thread), but I purchased a city s from italist since I've read that they're reputable... just wondering if I can rest assured of the authenticity, or if there's reasons I should post it?
Thank you for you help!

I can't say as I know of issues regarding fakes and Italist, here's a thread you can check for some info.

seems to be mixed (I admit, when I first read that thread, I only paid much attention to authenticators)
in any case, since you said you know of issues regarding fakes, I'll just post to be on the safe side. my apologies for lack of natural sunlight, if these aren't sufficient I can try again tomorrow but can you please take a look?
