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!

I'm sorry to say. As Much stated, this is fake.

I picked up a Balenciaga City Bag at Value Village Thrift store. I will post photos and ask if anyone can tell me if it is real. I am new to designer handbags.

Here are the numbers on the inside

Not an authenticator here, but the back of the zipper will need to be clearer (better lit) so the authenticators know exactly what they're looking at.

The tag pics aren't sharp enough either, especially the pic of the tag back.

Hello, I bought this bag on Tradesy but do not think it's authentic. I would love to get other opinions as I'm far from an expert.

Other than pictures, one thing to note: The label is sewn to the cotton lining on all 4 sides so it cannot be lifted to see #s.

Look inside the zipped pocket, there should be another tag with style number, etc. Please quote your original post number when you repost.

You're right! There is another label inside the pocket - attached.
But is the gold lettering label what Balenciaga uses? Also, I thought they always used Lampo zippers. And the tassels feel rather stiff, not soft and supple. Thank you!

Authentic in my opinion. Bal stopped using the Lampo-stamped zipper heads in 2014. The tags and zipper head shown in this pic are consistent with the F/W 2019 season, which is the season this City small is from. As to the gold lettering, depends on the bag and the season. Can't comment on the tassels, it's a pretty new bag so I'm sure they'll soften up.
