Hmm... looks like a flat version of the Hook bag. Maybe called the "Flat Hook"?

Sorry, I don't know, but it's very pretty.

yep verty and Jira! definitely pretty, i had this one authenticated in the "Authenticate this..." thread and according to our girls there, it looks okay. But they are not that familiar with the bag, so I guess bringing it here might illuminate me..

here are more pics:




I've already looked here but 132118 does not correspond to any...

I have this exact bag!

I purchased it in Italy last year at the Balenciaga outlet. The SAs did indeed call it the "flat hook" and it's a great bag for work and weekends as it holds a lot, plus it lays flat against your body kind of like a messenger. I've gotten more compliments on this bag than any of my others. The only problem is that I have seen some fading, but the one you posted looks to be in great shape and hasn't faded at all.

I uploaded the only pic I have of me wearing my hook...it's not great but I think it could help. I also included a pic of it with some surrounding bbags.

I sent you a PM...but I did notice that this bag is slightly different than mine. Mine has a second type of leather where the hooks are ...you can see in my pic that the color is a little lighter. This is a heavy-weight leather almost like Hermes box leather ... KWIM?? Not saying this other isn't authentic, just saying they have some differences.
