Hello there!

Could I kindly get some advice - Is it possible to have two bags of different hardware colour (gold and sliver), hold the same serial number?

Some background - I was about to buy a bag on online but before doing so I researched on its serial number. What I found surprised me - another bag online had the exact same serial number but it is in a different hardware colour (gold instead of sliver). The style and colour of the bag is the same though.

Thanks for your thoughts, appreciate the insights!!

Each style has a number and if it's exactly the same bag except for colour (same style, same hardware) they'll both have the same style number.
 
You scored a super-gorgeous. I'm about to lick my monitor, it's so gorgeous.
Thank you! Haha, there was a couple of hours where I stopped seeing it as a super-gorgeous and instead, as a potential super-fake!

Was very lucky to see it in the Finds thread when I did (it'll probably never happen again), and the condition was much nicer than I had hoped—and no smells! Color is also much nicer in person than in my pics.

She will be even nicer when she comes back from a little LMB spruce!

Thanks lots for your reply and insights!

It is the same style, same colour but different hardware (one is gold, the other sliver) but they share the exact same serial number - 431621.1465.A.568024

I’ve always thought each serial number is unique to each individual bag. Guess I’m learning it’s not?

Not with Balenciaga. I of course can’t comment on the authenticity of you bag without the necessary pics.
 
Hello there,
Would like to check if the below bag is authentic. Seller says it’s a city mini but from the bag label it seems like it’s a city small? I’m a little confused. Grateful for your advice and thoughts. Thank you!

The style number is for a small. Please include all pics needed for authentication.

Many thanks for your prompt reply! I haven’t gotten the bag yet. So I’m afraid I don’t have all the photos on hand. Still, appreciate your helpful insights :smile:

Sure, feel free to post when she arrives.
 
My turn at TRR roulette. I have a few items coming soon so hopefully no crapping out. ::blows kisses on the dice and says a Hail Mary::

Spin #1
According to the tag & cards I believe this to be an 08 Emerald / Evergreen GGHW Weekender. I’m still new at this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Any concerns?
