Identify this Balenciaga

Hi! I bought my first Balenciaga bag from Tradesy a few weeks ago. Since I haven't been around them too much, and I've never owned one, I'm not super familiar with the styles/how to authenticate…but I've done research, and I'm pretty sure this bag is not the First like it was advertised. I think it's actually a Town, which has a cross body strap, yes? Can anyone help me out?


Yes, this is a town from 2012.
 
Hello!

I've never used this thread before, but I'd like to ask for your help in identifying the color of this clutch!

Based on posting in the authentication thread, it seems that the style is called Pochette, and it was suggested that the color might be something like Iridescent (?).

Anything else you can tell me about this cute lil' guy would be superb! :)

(For reference, it's about 6" x 7")

It's from 2009 s/s. Limited edition oil slick. I'm not sure what the style is called, but it is like a clutch size, right?
 
I did a quick search here and found this thread with a cool photo from part of the advertising. You should save it for you bag!

Pochette what the department stores called them when they were being sold, but maybe they were using that as a generic term.

I'm on my phone and saw a couple of threads where this is called an iridescent pochette. :) it doesn't seem like it was that popular, but I quite like it. Congrats.
 
Me too! Very interesting color!

Oh wow awesome, thank you RightasRain!!!

Randomly, while hanging out on ebay.fr (can you blame me with the current exchange rate?) I happened to find a listing for this exact same purse for €209 (~$235) obo:

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Balenciaga-P...47?pt=FR_Sacs_pour_femmes&hash=item4ae2f8d033

The front tassel on this one isn't as long as the one on mine, and its interior tag seems to be black - an inconsistency I'd guess would come with a small production run, etc - but crazy that I'd never really seen this style before, and now here's another little guy! I'm such a sucker for holographic and oil slick.

Thanks again for digging around. Definitely gonna save that photo :)
 
Also, everyone in that thread on the hologram effect seems to hate it lol.

And I'm sitting here giddy like a 7-year old with a bag of jelly beans just looking at my silly little iridescent clutch. Haha I guess I'm a fan of the weird ones!
