Looks like an 08 Ruby and 08 Saddle RH Money wallet.

The top and bottom are the same wallet, I just took the bottom without the flash. The true color is somewhere in between. I guessed 08 Ruby too. Thanks for the help!

Hi ladies and gents - forgive me if this information seems obvious but i've searched and can't find anything... I have just today received my first bbag, i've no paper tags, there is no silver plate inside, only a leather tab with a serial number (?) on the back. The number is 115748.213444. It's the City style and i've been told it's called Rubino. I'll try and post pics tomorrow, i just wondered if someone could tell me what year it's from/anything else from that information?! Thanks for any help!

The 115748 on your tag is the number for a City. As for the metal tag, does your City have covered hardware? Covered RH Cities have leather tags. As for color, those numbers aren't much help. You say the color is Rubino so I'm guessing it's 08 Ruby. Can you post a picture of your bag? You can also check out the 08 swatch and see which color your bag matches. Good luck.

Thanks Jira - i'm going to try and get some pics on tonight - what is covered hardware?! Excuse my ignorance, i've been trying to learn around here but it seems i'm not getting far! Anyway, hopefully we can see more from the photos....

^¨^^
covered hardware is the newer vesion where they cover the hardvare in leather/fabric so they don´t show the metal....post pics of your bag, and we will be able to let you know all details,

Thanks Kat, i will do - pretty sure they're not covered but i haven't had the chance to fully inspect it yet... we'll see later

Hi again! Right, i've managed to take a couple of photos now - apologies they aren't in daylight, it's pretty difficult to get that here at the moment

If anyone could tell me for (pretty much) certain that it is an 08 Rubino it would be much appreciated...Thanks!

could you post a picture of the inner silver plate?
just read that there isn´t a silver plate...hmmmm..could you post a pic of the front of the leather tag?

Hi Kat, i have attached a couple of the front of the tag - dear god you're going to tell me it's fake now aren't you?!

Thank you!

I'm sorry, but this is fake

Not all Cities have metal tags. However, regular brass hardware Cities always do. Your bag is not an authentic Balenciaga. The font on the tag is incorrect and the bale is round (it should be curved).

Agree with Kat and Jira. This City is fake. I know this is not an authentication thread. The bale and the tag are totally wrong.

Hey guys, thanks very much...I got it from what i thought was a reputable source, so it'll be going back...Thanks so much for your help!

I am really really sorry sianii...but yes, it´s fake as the others have said. Where did you buy it?
