How do I spot a fake Balenciaga bag?
Since Balenciaga bags are one of the most-copied, they’re difficult to authenticate, so it’s best to take the bag to an appraiser. A tell-tale sign a bag is fake is mismatched style numbers on the front and back tags — these should match if the bag is real. Additionally, an authentic bag will feature the Lampo logo with sleek, not thick, lines. On 1stDibs, shop expertly authenticated Balenciaga handbags from top sellers around the world.
