I replied to your message.

Okay I received the bag today. I’ve never had or seen a balenciaga in person before so I can’t say for certain, but the leather definitely feels good. I attached some pictures. Please let me know what you think or what other pictures you may need. I have the option to send it to Tradesy to be authenticated, but it could take 2 weeks to come back to me. If you’re aware of any reputable online authenticating services I could use by sending pictures please let me know!

The back of the tag pictures are still faint. Can you verify what the letter is in between the numbers at the top?

I believe it is a ‘G’ but it is so faint it is almost indistinguishable. So I’m not positive. Would it be normal for the tag to be that worn? That’s definitely concerning to me.

A "G" would be consistent with the bag being authentic, however, it would be from 2014 and not from 2016 as stated by the seller. The faint tag is a bit concerning, but everything else about the bag looks fine. If it would make you feel better in the long run, you may want to send it to tradesy to let them look at it.

Thank you so much for all of your help! I really appreciate it. I’m not sure if you’d be able to answer this, but if it is from 2014 do you think the price I paid for it is fair or should I just return it and keep my eye out for something a bit more recent? Like I said, I really know very little about Balenciaga, so any opinions or advice you could offer I sincerely value and appreciate!

Thank you so much!!

Hi! I’m sorry I honestly don’t know... there might be a thread here specifically for that. There might be a youtube video too.

I ve seen many ME bags with faint emboss. May be due to the thick leather. If im correct, 2014 gold ME has the brighter yellow gold hardware, and after that, all having the current lighter pale gold. There are people who likes the brighter yellow gold as it's rare & more eye catching. I think price is very subjective & Bal resale prices are not based on the year of the bag, IMO, more to the color, leather, rarity & demand.

I would say, keep it if you really like it !!!

Thank you very much. I wish people would actually look before assuming their item is authentic. Also: Do you know of a guide to read the various Bal tags?
