Identifying Balenciaga Private Employee Sale Items
Many luxury brands offer exclusive employee sales, where items are sold at heavily discounted prices. While these pieces are authentic, brands typically mark them in specific, traceable ways to indicate their origin.
These identifiers help brands distinguish employee sale merchandise from standard retail inventory.
Private employee sale items are final sale, meaning they're non-returnable and non-refundable. These markings are the brand’s way of preventing return fraud, ensuring that discounted items sold within these sale events don’t get returned at full retail value.
Black Marker
Balenciaga marks private employee sale items with a black marker on the label.
Diagonally Cut Size Tag
Balenciaga also marks private employee sale items by cutting the lower corner of the size label in a diagonal fashion.
