Hello,

Could you please help me authenticate this Balenciaga city in Rose Bruyere color? I noticed the serial code does not contain a letter which is used to indicate the year the bag was made. If possible, can you tell me which season this bag from, and what type of leather is this bag? In the listing, the description says the bag is Agneau, but in the picture, it looks like goat skin to me. I am very new to Balenciaga so please excuse my lack of knowledge.

Item name: Balenciaga Giant 12 Rose Gold City Rose Bruyere
Seller: Fashionphile
Link: https://www.fashionphile.com/balenciaga-agneau-giant-12-rose-gold-city-rose-bruyere-294492

While researching this bag, I came across an old listing from another reputable re-sale site on the same bag. The bag on this website has the same serial number as the one on Fashionphile. When I examined the pictures of these 2 bags, especially the serial leather tab, I don't think they are the same bag. Is it possible to have 2 bags with the exact serial #? Or are my eyes not seeing correctly?

I include the pictures of the bag on the other website below.

The Fashionphile bag is authentic in my opinion. Yes, the style numbers will be the same if the style of the bag and the hardware is the same. The style number here is for a City bag with giant hardware. The pics you've attached for the second bag are too small for me to see but I'm assuming if the style number is the same as the FP one, it also has giant HW.

Right, the seller said the back of the zipper doesnt have a Lampos sign but it's common for rose gold hardware on that season (around 2010). Is it correct? I'm still waiting for the pict though.

Yes, the zipper heads for rose gold 2010 were blanks. It was the first year for rose gold and I'm guessing that Lampo didn't make rose gold zippers and another supplier was possibly used. They're logo'd again in 2011.

It looks good to me but just conferring with another authenticator on it, the Y tags are still pretty new and I'm being cautious.

Hello @ksuromax.. I bought it from one of the online store, I checked before I bought it, the seller seems to be a trusted seller https://tokopedia.link/QI6MXs8b9S

to be very honest, it's last season, and there's no yet any info if any of these bags are slightly non-conforming to the major batch.
All the Y tags that i have seen myself, in various Bal stores, have double BB zipper head, this relates to the bags, pouches and clutches. And this is where i stand and go by.
I would avoid getting a bag in question.
