Hello,
I m thinking to get Velo as well. When I do research online, I found this website:
balenciagahandbags.org
Just wondering if all bags in this website are authentic? Cuz I really don't want to spend money for fake one.
Thank you so much
I only have two serial numbers on my balenciaga instead of two. I stopped by balenciaga store and they had told me that all their handbags in yellow family start with #7 however mine doesn't have a color number. They were thinking older balnciaga's don't have color serial number. Is that true?
Sorry I meant to say that I only have two serial numbers instead of THREEI'm not sure I understand what are you talking about. Maybe you can post a picture of the back of the tag?

Oh man...I was hoping it would be real. Ok I will post pictures asap as you suggestedIt doesn't look good I'm afraid. I believe it is tag from a fake bag. To be sure you can post pictures I mentioned to you in different post. Front of the tag, rivet, bale and of course the bag
I have never seen a letter on the leather side of the tag...this bag is supposedly from F/W 2012 and the "K" does coincide with that. Thoughts?

Hi there!
I have a question RE the serial numbers that are engraved between the No. symbol and the letter on the silver tags of Bal bags before the 2014 changes (ex. N.1234_Z). Is it possible to have two different bags with the exact same numbers engraved on the silver tag, or does each bag get a unique set of numbers?
I know this was kind of asked at the very beginning of the thread, and those numbers are thought to indicate "leather batch", but no definite answer was ever given about it so I'm now just very curious if we know for sure.
Reason I ask is because I recently purchased a Z tag City bag off eBay (I haven't received it yet) and yesterday I saw another resale site with an identical bag that has the same numbers as the silver tag on the bag I just purchased.
Important: I am not an authenticator or expert - what I am about to share came from my own research to learn what these numbers mean:
I believe bags made in the same season/style/hardware type/leather batch will have identical numbers. Bal bags do not number each bag individually: they do match by season, style, and leather batch. I believe that bags of different colors -- even from same season and style, should not match - because they would come from different leather batch.
There is a thread on tPF - in the Bal Reference thread - about how to read the tags. You can also find this info via google search Some of these pages are several years old, but you will get the gist.
You can also post photos of your new bags on the authentication thread -- be sure to use exactly the pictures they require. The lovely authenticators can help you understand whether your bags are authentic or not.
Hope this helps a bit - good luck with your new bags!
