I'd seen this one around for a while, but always assumed it was a newer bag. Now that I look at it, it's probably 08 magenta?

Balenciaga FAQS
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about Balenciaga.
What is the motorcycle line?
This is Balenciaga's handbag line that is known to have the tassels (fringe) hanging off the zippers with small hardware or thimble-like giant hardware without the tassels.
What are some acronyms I should be familiarized with?
Here are some that are commonly used on fashion forums and occasionally on this blog:
RH = Regular Hardware also known as the classic aged brass hardware
PH = Pewter Hardware (from 03-04)
FBH or FB = Flat Brass Hardware
GSH/SGH or G21 = Giant Silver Hardware
GH = Giant Hardware
GGH = Giant Gold Hardware
RGGH = Rose Gold Giant Hardware
GCH = Giant Covered Hardware
MGGH or G12 = Newest "Mini" Giant Hardware
PT = Part Time style
MU = Make Up Clutch
F/W = Fall/Winter
S/S = Spring/Summer
What are the different types of hardware?
The first type of hardware that was produced in 2000-2002 was the flat brass hardware FB (they look like brass thumbtacks pushed into the bag).
Next, there was the pewter classic hardware PH that was produced in 2003-2004 (think of a dullish dark silver).
The classic hardware that is still in production is the aged brass hardware which made its introduction in 2004. The classic hardware is also known as RH or regular hardware is made of aged brass which has been oxidized in color, but over time the oxidized residue may wear off showing a true brass color.

Giant Silver and Gold Hardware GSH/GGH (also known as Giant 21) were introduced in 2007 that look like little thimbles. They are bigger and make the bag heavier than the regular hardware. As of S/S 2012 the Giant Silver and Rose Gold Hardware has been discontinued and replaced with the new Giant 12 hardware.
Giant Gun Metal Hardware was produced very briefly in 2007 for limited edition bags such the Neiman Marcus Teal City, and the Suede bags. They have not reproduced it since.
Classic Covered hardware also made its brief appearance in Fall 2008 and was soon discontinued afterward. It looks like regular hardware but with a layer of matching leather over it.

I can't get TtR to search women bags and accessories! Missed again!.
Do you have to do 2 separate searches?
I need help finding my wishlist

How about just search for Balenciaga … so everything will come up including clothes, but in “sort” select “newest first”
I have multiple searches saved - one for Balenciaga bags, another for SLGs. I also have searches saved for other items I like. You can’t check them all at once so its always possible you’re going to miss something if someone else finds it first

Oh!
I thought I was stupid because I kept trying to select Balenciaga, then women, then bags.And accessories. I it just work 😒 for me.
What are SLGs? Separate leather goods?.small leather goods?
I tried that Vesna...but I keep getting shoes and shirts and it takes time scrolling through clearly I'm doing something wrong.
And what is that green city that showed up today? Not pre 05? Hmmm
