Last Updated on July 4, 2024 by Ch David

Wondering how to spot fake Balenciaga tees? Then no wonder, you are in the right place to do so.

In this fake vs real Balenciaga legit check guide, we are going to teach you how to spot fake Balenciaga Campaign t-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, and polo t-shirts.

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. Fakes always have their prints improperly font-weighted all the time.

1. Wash tag

• 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.

Finding it too hard? Reach out to our Balenciaga experts:

2. Neck tag

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.

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.

• This is easily noticeable if you look at the letter “B” and any of the “a” letters on the fake item.
