Thanks for the new photo. Definitely a "K." Hardware and all else look fine???

It's possible I can be making a mistake, but to my knowledge, the last season for GH21 was
F/W 2011, before the letters appeared on the leather tags.

I apologize in advance if I'm wrong. Let's ask for correction or corroboration from someone who might be able to help. :sos::sos::sos:

EDIT: Just asked saira on the "Identify" thread. She is the expert on the changes for the various seasons. Let's hold on till we hear what she says.

Saira was able to verify that the LE 21GH does appear on a F/W 2012 black city. Apparently its gold is less yellow, paler than the older GGH. I can not tell, but I'm less concerned about this bag than before Saira did her detective work.
 
Hi all, I would appreciate your help authenticating this bag. Thank you! :flowers:

I was like "HUH ..... G21 on a K tag???" when i saw the post as features seem fine.

Thanks to Saira, we all learn something now ;)

hey all! i purchased this bag from myhabit -- it looks fine to me, but i know that online sample sale sites aren't great at authenticating their merchandise, so i wanted to check with y'all! it's returnable, so no pressure :) i'd also love to know the exact style/color, if you know!

style: balenciaga first (2010 f/w??)
color: green (??)
hardware: GSH

i don't know how to get a picture of the underside of the zipper because this bag doesn't have the little bunny ears that my other bal bags have (and it's pretty small so i can't just reach inside).

Would need more photos to be sure, but at a glance, this bag looks like the one I was unable to reach a decision about. Can't be sure without a better, complete photo of the back of the tag, straight on bale pic, and closer rivet.

Can you share the type of purchase this was., ie., private seller, Bal boutique, on-line vendor?
Hello Conni618, thank you sooooo much for trying to help! But unfortunately, I had to return the bag because I found a scratch on the hardware...:sad:
 
Item Name : Paper bag?? I am not sure..
The photos is as attached..
Thanks a lot!

Joan
