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!

hang on a minute, is this the same bag?
the black shopper?

Yes, these are pics I asked her for last night. Fake based on these pics, I'm guessing you'll agree!

if these pics belong to the same bag, then yes, i definitely agree

Okay, gotcha! My apologies. I am still very new to this forum. This is in regards to post number: #14328 and #14357

i really apologise for confusing you, but with so many posts and so many additional pics across various request got me a bit off the track, the additional pics of the zipper head and the front logo (speaking of the black square shopping bag) look off, and i agree with @muchstuff this bag is not authentic.

For anyone reading this thread THIS is why we ask for very specific photos! Some details will look very close to the original (remember that all bags aren't IDENTICAL) but if we have ALL of the details needed something generally will give the fake away.

in addition to this, we need all pics together and in one post!

Thank you for your response! I’ve asked the seller for a few more close up images. Hope that these are clear enough! thank you again

I asked for better pics of the tag front and the back of the zipper head too please. Please reference all posts when you repost. Sorry but we want to be sure.

VERY FAKE! Please, avoid

Thanks so much

Thank you guys for the answers! I will keep that in mind for future posts.

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.

Wanted to update you! The seller on ebay accepted my return. Thank you so much again! I’ll be on the hunt for another Balenciaga city!

I’m sure this is not authentic, but I don’t want it to get away in case....

Are you able to get more pics? I'd say an authentic mini Twiggy excepting the rivet is incorrect. Can you ask for pics of the other rivets and a good pic of the back of the zipper head and the bale? Could be that a rivet was replaced but I can't confirm authenticity without more info because of it.

I found photos from a previous listing on a different selling platform....I’m 100% sure it’s the same bag. Check the mark on the left side of the handle. this should give you all the pics necessary

also I did a little research. The round rivet isn’t necessarily a fake...see the last photo. The other mini Twiggy photos I’ve found from around the same time have the same un-notched rivet...??

I'm aware that the early bags had un-notched rivets (they changed to notched in 2005, the year of this colour. S/S 2005 saw both notched and un-notched, F/W were notched only. Since this is a S/S colour, the lack of notches isn't an issue). It's the shape of the rivet I was commenting on, although it could just be the angle of the photo. Authentic in my opinion.

I agree that it's authentic too.
