3. Shoulder strap and bale: The shoulder strap of an authentic Balenciaga bag should be one solid piece with small openings at the ends where the hardware fits into. The leather on the shoulder strap of many fake bags is folded over the hardware (bale) and wrapped around it, creating a double layer of leather. The "bale", (the hardware at the end of the strap) should have a rounded, curved appearance to it, while most of the fake Balenciaga bags have a more squared off bale. There should also be a small eye hook that connects the hardware together. The tip of the eye hook should have a flat head and should be pushed up through the corkscrew shaped hardware. It should not stop just below it, as it does on most of the fake bags. Below is an image of an authentic shoulder strap vs. a phony strap: ![]() Below is an image of a fake shoulder strap: ![]() Below is an image of the rounded Balenciaga bale vs. a fake strap: Counterfeit Balenciaga handbags ususally have a more squared off bale, as pictured in the above images. (In this picture the fold over fake shoulder strap is more clear) ![]() 4. Handles: The handles are weaved, or braided with leather. Balenciaga calls it "sueded leather", which has a raw appearance to it and looks more like rope or a shoelace. It should not be finished leather, coated or protected.

Date codes (concerning metal tags, as seen in the above image of the metal label front): Each of the tags that have a metal tag only, will additionally have an alpha indicator at the end of its serial number. This alpha indicator designates the season that the color/bag comes from. Balenciaga is working its way backwards through the alphabet, so its fairly easy to determine what season your bag is from, on bags with a metal tag, it is based on this letter. Example:
So you can fast forward or rewind, to identify the season indicator that you're looking for. (The letter "x" is not used in the series.) In the above example, for the next season: SS08, the indicator would be a "T". ![]() ![]() ![]() Below are images of fake Balenciaga labels: ![]() Also, the number on the front of the label does not match the number on the back.

Also, note the "Do not copy" warning on the image. We also found it rather amusing that a company selling fake handbags online does not seem to have a problem copying other designers trademarks, but does have a problem with having their pictures copied. ![]() trending(ebay) Balenciaga Handbags Balenciaga Motorcycle Handbags Balenciaga Twiggy Handbags Balenciaga Weekender Handbags Balenciaga Black City Handbags Balenciaga Green City Handbags Balenciaga City Handbags Under $499 Balenciaga Part Time Handbags Balenciaga Tutorial Sections: Balenciaga Part One Balenciaga Part Two ← Balenciaga Zippers(+) Balenciaga Model Numbers |
