  • How to authenticate Balenciaga purses to determine if they are real or fake!! Some important tips are included to help you decide whether the pre-owned item you are interested in might be real or not.
    Beginner's Guide to Balenciaga:
    Balenciaga Tags:
    As always, I suggest getting multiple opinions on authenticating items in the pre-owned designer market, when possible! I think this is a great starting point for beginners or collectors that are just wanting to expand their knowledge. And also may help to ensure that you're not sending items that are blatantly fake to be authenticated! (Which could save your time and the authenticators, as well as potentially save you money!) Hope this helps! This video on determining real versus fake for multiple designer brands has been requested a lot over the years that I've been posting on UA-cam!

    No worries, although most authentication things carry over regardless of year - there are nuances here and there that change over time. I focus on a few "pre-2010" ones, but don't really mention anything post-2010. They changed the tag writing for the "made in italy" in 2011-ish on the underside from all lower case, to all upper case. :) So you're fine on that part. Thanks for watching!

    Hi this was SO helpful! Thank you! I bought a red 2011 City and the "MADE IN ITALY" is all upper case and the metal tag doesn't have the "925" in the oval in the corner, but I think that's correct, right?

    It looks like on the black one there aren't knots at the base of the handles - does that go away in later years? and if so do you know what year? This is super helpful, thank you!

    Hi I just purchased a used balenciaga purse and my concern was were the handles are attached is a different hardware and not the smoothe round split circular hardwear that stitched to the handles is mine a possible fake. The bag I purchased is a pony hair weekender.

    Awesome!! Congrats on your new bag!! The Velo is one of the new styles that I might try in the future, I really like the shape of it. Thanks for watching! :)

    Fantastic! This is one style that I haven't tried before, that I am thinking of trying... maybe in the Fall or so. It seems like a popular style and I like the look of it. Thanks for watching!

    Inside the bag, there should be 3 pockets: one with a zipper and two without. Is it true? Or it Must be only one inside?

    I just purchased a bag
    The leather tag does have numbers on the top just underneath. Top reads balenciaga Paris underneath reads the long number plus made in Italy in all caps with something else under
    Does that sound right

    Very informative! Thank you. Love the blue color. What is it called? Also, I went to a boutique the other day and the leather for each bag feels different than the other. Why is that? I see some with minimal distress in the leather as well. Is this normal? I live in Japan, so I can't ask the sales associates to explain because I really don't speak Japanese. Lol. Thank you so much for the video.

    This really helped! I got the exact same piece a year ago. the 2007 one was the oldest I could find out there!

  • @apy2499
    @apy2499 8 років тому +2

    I'm very late but this video is very helpful. I'm wondering if the words "made in italy" have to always be lower case? I ordered a Classic City bag from Overstock.com and the picture from the website show those words in all upper case. I'm nervous now.

    • @Bags4Bubbles
      @Bags4Bubbles  8 років тому +3

      Newer styles will not the be the same, this is all information pertinent to the older styles. Pre-2010 to 2012 era. I think around 2013 or so, all of the tags changed. You're good! ;)

    • @apy2499
      @apy2499 8 років тому +3

      Thank you so much for your response! I actually went to the Balenciaga store near me and you're right, all the new bags say "Made in Italy" in upper case letters now. Their zippers also say "B" instead of "Lampo." Funny thing though, the sale associates had no idea what Lampo was when I asked about changes in zippers and other things. LOL.

    Hi!! Hope you can help me.. My question is.. Is it possible for 2 exactly the same balenciaga bags to have the same "serial number" or the number on the back of the leather tag?

    I just got a Giant 21 Woven that the seller says 2009 spring summer. Do you have any idea how long that multi colour style stayed around. I think I saw them still for sale in 2012.

  • @Bags4Bubbles
    @Bags4Bubbles  11 років тому

    Yes, I've heard of the Sunday tote - but never have owned one. I believe it was released around 2010, but was discontinued after a few seasons? (I don't think they make it anymore?? I don't ever see them, and I think a number of those styles that were released in 2010 didn't sell like they wanted, so they discontinued them to release other styles.) It reminds me of the Shopper Tote from 2006-ish. Great catchall tote if you're wanting a big open tote style like that. I think Yoogi's has one. GL!

    I was wondering if you ever heard of the Balenciaga Sunday Tote. I have seen pics of it and have not been able to find one for sale. If you have any info on that particular style to give me, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Sue.

    I know this video is quite old, but it's very helpful to identify a authentic Balenciaga bag!! :) I just have one very urgent question where I haven't found any information out there: is it a must that it is ALWAYS a black thread on the upper stitch of the silver tag of the Balenciaga city RH?? I just try to authenticate a Balenciaga City from 2013 and the stitching is not black, but I'm quite sure the bag is authentic. Would be great if you could help me! :)

    • @ellegeerowan369
      @ellegeerowan369 4 роки тому

      Excellent video, so helpful! I have the same question about the black thread. I’m quite sure (I think) my bag is authentic, passes all the other notable tests to note, but it is not a black thread attaching the tag. Is it possible the stitching can not be black and still be an authentic Balenciaga? Many thanks again!

  • @passwordjenna

    Do you know why some balenciaga bags have a single weave on the handles and some have double? Does it depend on the hardware? Style? Color? Please help!! Thanks!

    • @Bags4Bubbles

      Hi, I do still upload on this account, I do not provide any authentications though and would recommend going through an authentication service if it is something you're wanting to ask about! Thanks!
