3 ACTIONABLE TIPS TO AUTHENTICATE TOD'S ITEMS

Luckily, there are a few ways to know if that Tod’s is authentic when buying and selling. 

BALENCIAGA STITCHING

1. BALENCIAGA LOGO

On the interior of your handbag, you should find a metal nameplate or leather tag that reads either “Balenciaga_Paris” or “Balenciaga.Paris,” depending on the year of your bag, a number on the back side of that label indicating the style number of your handbag, and an embossing reading “MADE IN ITALY.”

2. INSPECT BALENCIAGA LEATHER & STITCHING

One of the top luxury brands in the fashion industry, Balenciaga is made with quality materials.

The soft and durable leather used on their handbags will retain its original shape, but take note that it is also purposely meant to add to the piece’s characteristics; the pieces become more distressed and veined with age.

Your Balenciaga bag’s leather can be distinguished in other ways as well. The bag’s handles are made from sueded-leather, and the shoulder straps are made of one solid piece of leather with hardware at both ends.

The stitching on Balenciaga items should be thick, high quality and uniform throughout.

3. BALENCIAGA AUTHENTICATION DETAILS

Balenciaga hardware is one of the first things you should pay attention to when checking for Balenciaga authenticity. The brand is known for its edgy metal studs that should feel of high-quality metal, never unscrew, and the zipper hardware they use is sourced from “Lampo” (with some exceptions due to model and age).
