This is a bluish/grey and looks just like the Anthracite. I would LOVE any info!

Bal has mixed up numbers, but not letters. This is definitely from 06. I agree with Livy, it's probably Sapin. If you can take a picture with flash or have a picture of the bag in natural lighting, that'd really help. But I think I recognize these from an auction of a Sapin First.

This is 2009 Officer. Bal only has Navy once, which was a few shade lighter than this one, and was made in 2005. Officer is the very dark blue which is close to black. This Pom Pon's color official name is Officer.

Can anyone help me identify these two Balenciagas. I bought them at NM Last Call in April 2008. Both are suede and leather on each bag. Let me know if you need to see any tags or additional info to identify them. Thanks in advance........

Ellie Mae · Nov 9th, 2009, 05:29 PM

My new to me "grey" 06 Twiggy from lovely pfer! Says bought 7/06 at NM, so I am guessing Greige??

Bag, stitiching, zipper fabric similar grey color. Laces on handles are lighter.

drati · Nov 10th, 2009, 04:23 AM

Looks like greige to me Ellie Mae. Congrats.

parson russell · Nov 11th, 2009, 08:08 AM

Please can someone help me identify these two which have just arrived- my first ever Balenciagas!
The red one came with original tag which says
2006 3 159671 D940T 312 chevre
and on leather tag 159671 3444
but i am not sure which red this is! Is it a Courier? From 2006?
The blue one I think is 'ink'?
No 1567 Y 132110 , and on inner of leather tag 1669
Think this is a work?
Thank you- am trying to work it all out myself, but need the experts!

muggles · Nov 11th, 2009, 09:49 AM

Looks like a courier and a work to me! Hold out for the experts! Congrats sweetie, they are lovely! Adore them both!

caroulemapoulen · Nov 11th, 2009, 10:01 AM

The first one is a work, can't quite see the color from the pictures, but it's surely from 06 - which I see by the Y. :) The other is a courier, and the color is: Rouge Vif, I presume. :) I see that from the card, which says 2006 and after that 3. 3 stands for the fall collection, and Rouge Vif was a part of that. :)

parson russell · Nov 11th, 2009, 11:28 AM

thank you miss muggles and [B]caroulemapoulen[/B-
I was told the blue is ink by the seller, and it is an unexpectedly delightful bluey grey purple. Am getting to grips with the codes now!

caroulemapoulen · Nov 11th, 2009, 12:06 PM

^It could certainly be ink, I couldn't see it was ink before you gave me that clue, but I have an ink oval myself, and they do look alike actually! CONGRATS! I would love an ink work!

pearlbaby · Nov 11th, 2009, 02:10 PM

Is some one able to tell me what style this code on the paper tag refers to?

128522 D941T 295

I did try to do a search but I couldn't find the answer. Thank you.

To revise my prior post, the full paper code is:

2006 3 128522 D941T 295

I did a search on this thread Call for Paper Tag Info: deciphering the last group of numbers but couldn't identify the style. Thanks.

You'll find style serials here.

128522 corresponds to the "Purse" style.
