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!

i see. So it is normal if the price from private seller is cheaper than boutique or web price since the stuffs are New & authentic right?
Thanks a lot! Wow you knows everything

it's gotta be something exceptional and super rare to be more expensive in the secondary market than brand new from the boutique, which nowadays is next to impossible, alas
but it's Buyer's market, so, use the chance! ;)

Authentication request: LV Luco.
Hi! My main question centers around the interior pocket (or in this case, lack thereof) behind the cell phone and other two pockets. Other Lucos have a folder sized pocket behind - this purse does not. I was told that Luco made after 2003 do not have this pocket but I have not been able to verify that. Thoughts? Thank you!

ever read about this case on previous page. Same problem like yours. But different color. Bordeaux if i'm not mistaken. The zipper is chipping like yours too. your serial number show the mini size if you search it on google.

I know it’s sad! But the bag is otherwise in essentially new condition and I got it for about $1000 US dollars so I thought that was reasonable? Ah well. I just hope it’s authentic and the chipping doesn’t affect the other gold hardware!

Hello!
Please help me authenticate this Classic City Edge in regular size in grey with gold hardware. I bought it from eBay authenticate, but the gold is chipping from the zippers (which may just be normal since I know this bag is from 2017?) but it still made me wonder. Thank you in advance!!

Sorry, it appears you were missed. The style code on this bag is for a mini City not a regular sized City. There are details that are off as well. Not authentic in my opinion. The fact that the style number is incorrect should be enough for a return. 390154 is the correct code for a regular-sized City.

Keep in mind the source. It's eBay. If they can miss something like a style number being wrong how much do they know? And how much time do they have to look at each item? And do they have an expert for each brand? We spend hundreds of hours looking at details, I doubt they have the time (or interest) to do that.
Look at TRR, their "authentication experts" have been proven to be, for the most part, the workers inputting the items onto the website. :facepalm:

Yikes! I will! I took off the tags already but given the glaring error hopefully they’ll take it back
