How to spot fake Balenciaga Campaign (Any Clothes)

The quickest way to spot fake Balenciaga Campaign items is to check the wash tag and the neck tag because replica items have their prints improperly font-weighted all the time, and the quality of a fake Balenciaga item does not compare to the real deal.

1. Wash tag

Even though in the fake vs real Balenciaga Campaign image above we’ve compared the legit t-shirt from the 2017 release and the fake one from the 2016 release, we have pointed out the universal flaw which applies to all of the wash tags.

  • The “BALENCIAGA” text at the top of the wash tag, on the fake item, is too thin and it has its shapes for the letters looking wrong, and that’s easily noticeable if you look at the letter “B”.
    • The “B” is that the upper side of the letter on the fake item is wider, bigger, and thicker than the lower side of the letter.
    • On the other hand, the authentic Balenciaga Campaign items will always have their letters properly printed, with no such imperfections in the shapes of the letters or the font-weight.
  • The fake Balenciaga item says that it was made in 2016, while as previously mentioned, the legit t-shirt was made in 2017.

Authentic Balenciaga Campaign items were never made in 2016, as their production started in 2017. This being said, on the wash tag of a legit Balenciaga Campaign t-shirt, you’ll never see the “2016” inscription, but always 2017+.

So, whenever you see a Balenciaga Campaign wash tag that says 2016, you’ll instantly know that you’re looking at a counterfeit-manufactured Balenciaga Campaign item.

With all of this being said and linked to the wash tags of the fake vs real Balenciaga Campaign items, we should now proceed to the next step of the guide on how to spot fake Balenciaga Campaign items.

2. Neck tag

Moving on to the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Balenciaga Campaign items, we are now going to have a look at the real vs fake Balenciaga Campaign items for the neck tag.

We’ll begin with the neck tags of the releases which say only “BALENCIAGA”, and then, we’ll also look at the fake vs real Balenciaga Campaign items’ neck tag which says “BALENCIAGA PARIS”.

2.1. New label: “BALENCIAGA” text

In the fake vs real Balenciaga Campaign image above:

  • The fake item has its text on the neck tag improperly font-weighted.
  • The fake Balenciaga t-shirt has its letters looking too thin.

Keep in mind that the authentic Balenciaga Campaign items always have their letters at the same font weight, and never on the legit items you’ll see letters being thicker or thinner than what they’re supposed to be.

2.2. Old label: “BALENCIAGA PARIS” text

  • The fake Balenciaga item has its letters badly embossed into the neck tag.
  • The flaws that are the easiest visible on almost every letter of the fake item.

On the other hand, looking at the “PARIS” text, you can also see how the fake Balenciaga Campaign item has its text looking really thin when compared to the text seen on the legit item, which is thicker.

A quick mention:

  • The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
  • The next few steps are still reliable methods…
  • … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

3. Front logo

  • The fake item has its text looking too thick when compared to the text on the authentic item.

As for the frontal printing, this is a common flaw seen on the fake Balenciaga Campaign items, so make sure you keep an eye out for this as well.

4. Rear logo

We’ve placed this step last since it may not be as easy to spot as the other spots in this guide on how to spot fake Balenciaga Campaign items.

  • The fake item has its letters looking thinner and smaller than the legit items’ letters.
  • This is easily noticeable if you look at the letter “B” and any of the “a” letters on the fake item.
