Found it as you said inside the pocket long thin bit of leather but no way I can get a photo of the actual numbers!?

Yeah I just checked mine, my 2018 has it along the seam of the bag itself, my 2019 is in the pocket. And yes, it's very hard to see, I turned my interior pocket inside out which wasn't easy to do. I'm afraid I'm not able to help without seeing the details we need to see, it's going to be a problem if there aren't enough markers for us to look at. @ksuromax do you have any comments on this? Have you seen this particular bag IRL? I'm not comfortable authenticating something with so few markers to go on.

i have seen this bag irl
@laurenic33 can you post a good close up shot of the bales, please?
also, you can put your phone inside the pocket and take a shot without looking at the screen, it might not work from the first time, but shoot a few, at least one will be decent, i'm sure
nothing screams off to me, i just want to be confident in my response

@ksuromax I tried to turn my pocket inside out to access the tag and still couldn’t read the whole thing, it’s really hard to do. They couldn’t have put it in a tougher spot.

I know, that's why i said it would work better if you ut the phone inside the pocket rather than try to turn the pocket inside out

I’ll experiment with mine but I’m not sure it’s possible to get anything that way either. The tag is sewn very closely into the seam and the style code is on the side facing the bag ( at least in mine it is).

I just bought my first bag through a reliable website, but I was just wondering as it says everywhere that the tag should have written balenciaga Paris, mine just has Balenciaga? It's a Metallic Edge City bag in black with gold hardware. I already took the mirror off.

Tags differ depending on what year the bag was produced. If you’re wanting authentication you’re missing several pics, please refer to the link in the first post at top of the page for examples. (Please post all photos right way up, thanks).

Sorry! I hope this will do!

And the rivet (i just realised now what was meant with it).
Thanks for the effort!

Can you please tell us where you purchased?

I'm going to call on @ksuromax...ksuro, this is a U tag and I don't see ME bags on the Bal website right now. Which doesn't necessarily mean anything but have you seen any U tags yet? I'm not getting out enough to see the new season's tags.

I purchased on https://www.debijenkorf.nl/-city-ha...VBqp3Ch2ZSwNPEAQYBCABEgKnSfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds. Its a big department store in the Netherlands. I was asking because I'm afraid someone would buy and return a fake one, and then I get the fake one..

I don’t see anything to worry about, but as I mentioned, I haven’t seen the latest season’s tags ( ksuro has way more stores to access than I do here in Vancouver). It’s likely fine but let’s let her have a look.

Thanks, I appreciate you checking I thought the attached tag that came with the bag had a bit a strange number, and then I saw everywhere Balenciaga Paris instead of just Balenciaga so I started worrying a bit. Plus the fact that the bag had 30% off (again, its a big department store but you can never know‍♀️).

Nothing looks odd to me, other than the fact that it’s a new season bag on sale. But everything’s weird right now.
