hi all,

i just recently bought a work Giant hardware rosegold color anthracite, but the paper tag stated " 2011 1 173080 D94J0 1671" but in my leather tag inside of the bag : first line 173080-1202
second line 1669
third line made in italy

im wondering why the second line 1669 in my leather tag doesnt match with last 4 digit at the paper tag 1671?

please advice thank you so much

Those numbers change every season, with every style and color so aren't really worth deciphering. They could mean batch. Really only the first 3 sets of numbers on the paper card are helpful: year, season, style number.

Hi, first time poster here and I know this is an old thread, but not sure where to ask this.

I just received my 2 Bal bags. Ordered online for Balenciaga.Was reading the thread "How to Read a Balenciaga Tag" and noticed that neither of my bags came with the tag that shows the year.

I'm pretty sure my city is 2012. But wondering if my Part Time is 2011?
Can anyone help? Here's a few pics.

Thanks in advance.

Did Balenciaga change their tags or am I just seeing alot of fakes? On later versions of bags (city, velo, etc.) I'm seeing the "made in italy" in all caps. Is this correct or are these fakes?

Both the bags I ordered from Bal online, city and partime had the "made in italy" in caps.

Don't think their own site is selling fakes :smile1:

But, they don't send all the tags either :mad:

Hello, I'm new to TPF as of today! I need help authenticating a Balenciaga Black City with GGH. I just purchased this bag and it looked authentic in the photos, but when I put it next to my Balenciaga Giant Envelope with GGH (from the Balenciaga Las Vegas Boutique, purchased June 09) the GGH on the city bag looks very faded. Could this be from normal wear and tear or could I have a fake? Please help, this is my dream bag! Thank you in advance!

Hi, I don't understand well some tags: for example, the city has the front one in metal with the N, the number of the batch (is there a way to see if it's real or fake?), the letter of the season and 115748; on the back now city has 3 numbers + made in italy , one is the style but the other ones?
my 2009 city has only 2 codes on the back (157048 and 3444, the last one was even on a city rggh of a friend, it explains the color?) , my new coquelicot has 3 in the back. (both from boutique).

And I don't understand: a Velo has only a leather tag, how can I understand from the back tag if it's ok? I read the thread about the codes but I see bags with other codes and I don't understand !

Thanks a lot !

I'm looking to buy a Balenciaga Part Time in Bleu Lavender online from Ebay that is listed BNWT. There was one that was preowned that was sold on Bonanza not too long ago as well. I noticed that both bags had the exact same serial numbers on the back of the interior "Balenciaga Paris" label. The top line being 168028-4511 followed by 527276 underneath and then "made in italy" These numbers were the exact same of both bags. Could it still be authentic or would it be fake? Thanks!

Authentication can't be determined from just looking at numbers. Detailed pictures of the bag are needed.
