Hello everybody!
I'm new on the forum and I have a simple question about identification number for B bags. I didn't find any post about this topic. Is it possible that two differents bags have exactly the same identification number (173080 1202 1669 - see picture attached)? In addition, there is no "made in italy" under the number and I already have a B bag (bought on Balenciaga website) with the mention on the tag.

Many thanks!

Good morning! May I please ask for your help on behalf of my good friend? She purchased a Bal GH 21 Pompon from The Real Real, and she'd like to know for sure it is authentic.

I've had issues with bags I've bought from TRR in the past, so I let her know I would help her out and ask for your kind assistance with confirming if her new purchase is authentic. I have posted the listing details and a few extra photos for your review, however please do not hesitate to let me know if any other photos would be helpful to you.

Thank you very much for your time. As always, I am grateful to you gracious ladies who share your expertise! Warm regards!

Item: Balenciaga Motorcross Giant 21 Pompon Bag
Item #: BAL75607
Seller: The Real Real
URL: https://www.therealreal.com/product...aga-motocross-giant-21-pompon-bag--JuHaWqpjgk
Please post a pic of the bale and better pics of the tag front and back (I know it can be hard to get a good shot but these are hard to read). I think you're fine but want to be sure.

Yes, it's possible. This tag is for a Work bag with g21 hardware in anthracite. I'm sure if the lining was turned down a bit further you'll see the made in Italy line.
The style number depends on the style of the bag and the hardware attached. So all Work bags with G21 HW will have the same style number, 173080. Not all seasons/years/bags have a discernible colour code, this one does. The last number, 1669, is unknown and for our part in authentication, unnecessary.
If you'd like the bag authenticated please see the links below for the pics necessary.
 
Muchstuff is much more optimistic, i would say 'RUN AWAY' even without any more pictures, does not look good at all to me

Ok I ran away. First time purchasing a Balenciaga Discovered this forum a couple of weeks ago, helped me so much. Thank you all for doing this. I have another bag from Kijiji if you wouldn’t mind taking a look

I only have these pictures, I can ask for more if needed.

Hello, looking forward to purchasing my first Balenciaga. Hoping someone could authenticate this for me. I don't want to spend money on a knock-off. Please help.

Thank you for your kind help, MuchStuff. I’ve asked her if she can forward me those better tag and bale photos. I appreciate your time, and hope you have a lovely weekend!
 
Thank you so much! I will try to take a pic in natural light tomorrow. Thanks again, I really appreciate it! Im so curious now
Hi @muchstuff sorry it took forever to post the bag in natural light, I keep forgetting to take pics when the sun is out! But here it is.. I also attached pics of the numbers for reference, thanks so so much!!!
