Hi authenticators!

I have just purchased my new Balenciaga mini city metallic edge in chevre goatskin black. Could you please help me authenticate this ? And it is true this bag from F/W 2019?

Thanks before!

Can you please add where the bag was purchased from and a link if possible?

The link is private. Authentic in my opinion, yes, the code is for a F/W 2019 bag. I don't think I've seen a V tag yet but everything looks correct to me.

Hello dear authenticators!

I have another Balenciaga that would need to be authenticated

Item: Balenciaga Day in blue
Bought from: Designer Exchange UK website
















The last picture is my best try for an outdoor picture (together with a shadow from my arm ). I will either have direct sunlight or no sunlight at all (completely cloudy or night) this time of the year.

I think it represented the colour quite good but I will be able to give more accurate outdoor pictures in March-April

Outdoor pics in natural light, not bright sun or heavy shade. For me that's about the best you can do to try to show the actual colour.

Here is one try (picture taken at the same time as the blue Day above).


Indoor close to the window in south.

Authentic
ETA: French Blue? or, Electrique?

I'd say it's Tomato
looks very similar to my Tomato Work

I think the listing said ’French Blue’ but I don’t know if they are right. It is a true blue and from the forum I have also thought French Blue och Electric Blue.
They are ’quite’ similiar
This post both helps and doesn’t help:




I would say that my Day is a true blue. I can’t see ”a whisper of green” in it. So French Blue might be correct then. My bag acts exactly like this bag: https://www.yoogiscloset.com/handbags/balenciaga-french-blue-chevre-motorcycle-city-bag.html (i.e. looking almost white-blue in some angles in photos - my picture of front tag is exactly like that. Tried to avoid it as much as possible in my photos).

This is my guess as well! Would you call your bag a true red with the slightest undertones of orange?

I think this red is slightly easier to define than the blue

For what it’s worth I thought French blue as soon as I saw it. Except for the last pic outside where the colour looked less saturated.

my Tomato is true red and has a bit of white in the veins, that makes the leather look like "cracked" in a good way, hope it makes sense
if yours has orange undertone, then, maybe it's Rouge Vermilion? from 07 SS?

No, it doesn’t have an undertone. At least not what I would call an undertone. I just think that ALL coulors have an undertone in some way. And if I would have to chose between orange and blue - it would be orange (look at my last picture from indoors). Do I make sense?

Like this post in the red colour reference thread:


If I would have to choose, that bag has orange as an undertone but please mind that I am NOT an expert when it comes to colours (if you didn’t notice ).

My guess would be Tomato but I don’t deny that Red Vermillion is also possible.

No, not really. I think the red colour is gorgeous and exactly what I wanted no matter what the name is

But my inner nerd won’t get any rest until I know all the details
