Thanks and be well!
 
I just don't get why there's no mention that I can find on the forum.
So far, I've seen three different style numbers for this group, 236688 for the clutch, 236687 for the hobo with a drawstring top, and 236686 for the hobo with a straight top. There's also a smaller shoulder bag style which we would have more intel on if only TRR wasn't such a miserable site and bothered to post front and bag tag information.

Anyone know a Balenciaga personnel who could shed some light?

So my seller says she bought it around 2017 or 2018 for 900 Eur at a discount. I looked up raffia Balenciaga from 2017 and found something like this that sold for 945 usd before tax. The pricing seems to be somewhat consistent and I would then surmise that this line with the ostrich looking trim was from 2017 and not much older.

It’s kind of like the yellow tweed City I posted a while back. ONE mention of the tweed bags years ago on the forums, two for sale or sold anywhere I could find on the internet, and both of those a different color. Yet it was real.
I’ve seen those around though for a long time. And the tags are correct so the issues are a bit different. Still, I don’t think these are fake, (still not positive on the leather one). Especially with ostrich trim.
