Hi,

I'm a little bit confused about the serial number...

Is it possible that two BB from the same year and of the same color (City RH black F/W 2006) have the same serial number, I mean the second number at the back of the tag : 2123 on the following pictures

Here is the first bag (that i'm projecting to buy):
P1010930-1.jpg


Here's the second one (on Bag Passion website) : http://bagpassion.com/acatalog/BAL-00235.html

Please help me! :smile1:

Many thx in advance,

Carole
 
in fact I've just noticed that the second bag (the one on Bag Passion) is from S/S 2006 (and not F/W) !
Is it however possible that two different bags have the same serial number?

Thx again
Carole

Welcome to the Bal forum...and to your soon-to-be addiction! :yes:


Yes. These numbers are not serial numbers. The first number is a style number, and must be the same for all bags of a particular style, no matter the season.. Not sure what the second number denotes, but it is repeated for many (not usually all) of the same style bags across seasons. HTH!

wanted to add to this thread by asking about the numbers at the bag of the leather tag of my RH PT. mine has 2 lines of numbers and a made in italy. saw a photo earlier in this thread where the PT only had 1 line of numbers. anyone bought a PT recently and can chime in if theirs also has 2 lines of numbers like mine? wondering if the format changed...TIA! :smile1:

hi there,

this question is for Addy or Jira cause i'm new to purse forum and i can't seem to find a way to ask you gals questions privately about the bbags' serial numbers. Really need your expertise on this that's why i'm posting here, sorry and thanks!

I have a black balenciaga first from year 2006 that i got as a gift last year as a hand me down from my sis. i'm 100% sure this is authentic from all my checks on authenticity, plus it's given to me by my sis. The only thing that i couldn't be sure of is the serial number on the back of the leather tag. it doesn't have the usual "103208" matching to the number in front on the silver tag. instead it just says "1669". I was getting really upset that my bag might be fake till i saw your post about the serial numbers of all the bags that stated that the Balenciaga First also can have numbers "1669" on the back of the tag.

can you help to verify this so i can set my heart at ease please? also if you know why, maybe you can help to explain why there is an "inconsistency"?

Thanks so so much!:D

Hi, sorry I didn't see this until now! Some 06 Firsts did come with just the "1669" on the back, which is the number for a Work. I bought a Blueberry First from BalNY that came with this, but the bag was absolutely authentic. I've also seen some other white Firsts from 06 with this as well. I'm not sure why this happened, but Balenciaga does have some quality control issues. But just to double-check your First is authentic, I'd post pictures of the tag in Authenticate This Balenciaga. In the future, feel free to PM me if you need me to look at something! :flowers:
