Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,
I purchased my first Balenciaga bag. It's a Balenciaga Work Rose Gold with distressed leather in Cumin. Could you help me authenticate it? I must decide whether to return it or not within 10 days. I really really appreciate your help.

It seems the second and third set of numbers on the back of the older leather tags varies, (prior to the newer 2011 capital letters and season letter) but--at least sometimes there is a color code match on the back of leather tags-- for anthracite color "1202" as I have seen bags from different years that were anthracite color that have the second set of numbers stamped on the back of the leather tag as 1202...wondering if that deciphering pans out and if there are any others? What do you all think? I found various sellers that stated color code 1202 was anthracite. I attached a couple of pics of underside leather tags for anthra bags from website sales for bags from different years. not sure if there is a list for "numerical color codes" and if that is very often referenced to the back of leather tags...would be helpful with bags that have faded and ascertaining what year the bag is on older bags without silver tags...?

This topic is up for debate. I have noticed that the color code numbers don't always hold true and are not always the best indicator in deciphering the color of a bag. There are too many inconsistencies with the tags. It may be true in some cases, but not all.
Thanks Saira!! Seems like these tags are consistent with their inconsistencies -- bal mystique !

Balenciaga definitely likes to keep us on our toes. I heard a story last year that someone from Bal customer service said that the numbers on the tags have NO meaning whatsoever, not even an indication of the style. That had me floored.
Hi guys,
I just bought a balenciaga classic city regular hardware 2015 black from reebonz. There are several things that I'm concernd. First the style number of the tag in the bag is 115748 which is right for city. However in the authenticity card the style number is written as 281770. The second problem, the leather saucht do not have texture as the leather of the bag. The third one is the mirror was wrapped inside a plastic and they put it at the front pocket of the bag. Is this authentic?

Reviving this thread as I think this is the most relevant one to my query...
Is it possible for 2 different Bbags to have the exact same details (on metal plate and leather tag)?
After asking the seller to send me the pics of the Bbags I'm eyeing (I did some research and I'm 80% sure that it's from S/S 2010, the Sahara and Castagne) and after scrutinizing the photos, Ive seen that they have the same details:
** METAL PLATE
N 14021 P
115748
** LEATHER TAG
115748 4363
467891
made in italy
Would love to hear your thoughts on this! Thanks!

115748 is the tag code for the city style. No one seems to be sure what the other numeric codes stand for but if both bags are cities with regular hardware the 115748 code would be the same. A "P'' code would be S/S 2010. The "made in italy" in lower case would be consistent with a pre-2011 bag. Please note that I'm not authenticating your bags, but responding to your questions regarding serial numbers!
