Balenciaga started adding the alpha code on the tag backs in F/W 2012. Each letter of the alphabet corresponds with the season/year the bag was made. The "I" tag was from F/W 2013 for instance.
 
Can someone help authenticate this balenciaga city logo strap i bought online? Thanks!!

Hi, untill recently I only thought the Balenciaga leather bags have serial numbers. However I just looked at my Balenciaga Explorer belt bag and saw it also had serial numbers as well.
Can anyone help me interpret the meaning of the code, and if it looks good`?

Not speaking to authenticity as I have no experience with this style but the first set of numbers is the style number, 1000 is the colour code for black, A denotes the season the bag was made. The last set of numbers are historically unknown, something important to Balenciaga but who knows.
 
Hi,
Can someone help me with the authenticity of serial number, and i didn't even recognise the name of the bag as well. cheers\
I would run this by the authentication thread.
(Make sure you post necessary pics). I am NOT an authenticator, but just looking at the underside of the tag I see something "off." However, you will be able to get a definite answer there.

Don’t bother, as @atlantis1982 has mentioned, something is definitely “off”. Fake in my opinion.
 
I've already been told this is a Velo in bleu lavande. Can you tell me the year/season? Why isn't there a letter code?

Last night I was looking through this thread and found a nearly identical post here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/help-balenciaga-serial-numbers.480492/page-8#post-26719468
Is the color code on the tag, and if it is, why did the previous poster think it was dark violet?
Thank you!View attachment 4331745
Letter codes didn't start until F/W 2012 (K was the first one). This is a F/W 2011 bag. The colour code on this bag is 4511, which is bleu lavande. Try googling "Balenciaga 4511";).
