I know this is not an authentication thread. The bale and the tag are totally wrong.

the hardware are too big as well

Hi Kat, thanks, i got it from a handbag hire company, you hire the bag and then you can buy (although i never hired it, just bought!) - they're pretty well known in the UK (if you're into your bags) so i stupidly thought there wouldn't be a problem - should have posted in the ATB first.. 6 months of buying Chloe and no problem - first attempt at Bbags, this happens

I'm going to (hopefully) get my money back and put it towards a real one!

Good luck! I don´t think you should have any problems getting your money back....they must be very concerned about checking that they are actually renting out authentic bags! You could always say that you will write an article in a newspaper about it

ps. always post in the ATB thread before buying!

I know - you'd think i would have learnt by now, i'm always so vigilant, so it shows you can never let your guard down...Anyway, i won't clog up this thread any more with this, i'll keep my eye out for another one and hopefully soon i can join the (real!) world of Balenciaga...Thanks again to all for your help!

Can someone tell me what the *official* names/colours are for these bags?

The first is a 2006 lamb leather and the second is a 2007 lamb as well. If I post what's on the tags will that help?

^^ Wow! Beautiful bags! The green one is the Whistle Bag, sorry I don't know the first one!

diwc · Jan 5th, 2009, 02:57 PM

Thanks, I kinda figured it was the Whistle bag, but I wanted to know the official colour of it (it's my FAVOURITE colour!).

Also, I could have sworn the first bag was called the Monk bag, but damned if I can't find ANYTHING about it online.

Looks like 07 Vert Gazon to me. The color of the first bag is 06 Truffle, but I'm not sure of the style name. Maybe RDC will help -- she's good with non-moto bags.

Thanks so much : )

Looks like an 08 Pale Magenta Giant Silver Hardware City.

Thanks Jira!

Salma24 · Jan 13th, 2009, 06:35 PM

I'm a newbie to this forum, so I'm sorry if this is really obvious - but can someone tell me what bag this is that Salma has?

From my research I'm guessing its a Work? Since there is no messenger strap.
But I'm not sure...

the first one is a METALLICA satchel. i think in came in more than 1 size. i have a large one in black and a smaller one in chocolate brown (which looks a lot like the color of the bag in the pictures)....they both have the yummiest, smooshiest, thickest leather amongst all my balenciagas. the paper tags say its agneau but theyre very different from the leather of my motorcycle agneaus.

the second one is the whistle. =)
