Counterfeit
Balenciaga takes counterfeiting very seriously and takes legal action against any persons, stores, or websites that sell Balenciaga counterfeit products. Counterfeiting is selling knockoff or imitation products as genuine Balenciaga goods.

• Counterfeiting has been linked to organized crime, child labor, and terrorism.
All of Balenciaga leather products have unique qualities. A special treatment has been developed to maintain the soft hand of the leather, giving it a distinctive vintage appearance. For the best possible care of a product, Balenciaga recommends to protect it from water and direct sources of heat and light. Balenciaga also recommends to clean the article with a dry flannel cloth and store it in its flannel bag.
For Balenciaga ready-to-wear pieces, Balenciaga recommends dry cleaning, unless otherwise instructed on the care label inside the garment.
