Amazing thank you so much!

When you say style number, is that the same as the bags serial number? Or will I never know its serial number if I don't have the paper tag? Net-a-Porter will be getting an annoyed phonecall tomorrow! Just as well I love the bag more than my other ones already!

Balenciaga bags don't really have serial numbers like say a Chanel. Your bag shares that number with all the other bags of the same style, color and year. The only variation on numbers I have seen is with the leather batch number being different on bags of the same style, color and year on older bags. Obviously because they were made from different leather batches. :) Not having the paper tag is really annoying and I would also be upset, but in reality all it might do is slightly lower your resell price since people just love to see those paper tags. However, anything I need to know about your bag is right there on the bag itself and I don't care about the paper tags.

Ahh okay I understand now, thank you for explaining. You would not believe how much googling I have been doing to no avail. That's made me feel much better about the situation, however they also forgot to send me a dustbag for it which is another issue. Once I get that I'll be happy!! It's not like I'm going to sell my baby bal anyway, I'm obsessed!

Thank you again!! [emoji8]

I know, seriously. SO unimpressed. When you order from them you expect perfect service and I'm so disappointed! But don't worry I shan't be stopping until that dustbag is in my possession haha!

@plateser I recently ordered a Balenciaga from Nieman Marcus and they didn't include a Balenciaga dust bag either. They said that a lot of times Balenciaga doesn't give them dust bags. I spoke to people in the store and on the phone and both told me the same thing which I thought was weird. I'm going to call Balenciaga and see if they can send me one because I expect that if I'm paying full price for a bag.

Do the bags ordered from NM atleast come with a set of extra tassles?

That's crazy! At my local NM the bags are stored inside their dust bags, or laid right on top of it in the stock closet, so that is so strange about this "Bal doesn't give us dust bags" bit. Maybe they don't give enough bags for the whole stock? Agree, for what you pay, you should definitely be getting a dust bag.

Yeah, I don't know what the issue is. I'm actually thinking of exchanging it for a black one in the store. It's the papier A4 in the silvery grey which they didn't have in stock at the Paramus store so I ordered it online and had it shipped there (I wasn't going to take my chances having them ship it to my house being that Fedex already lost another Balenciaga I had bought on ebay and this is the company they use.). Anyway, if I do that, they'll have to give me a dust bag. I'm torn though. I like the color but black goes with everything.

Hi ladies!

Can you help me with the color of this bag?

The interior metal tag reads:
N 3520 S
115748

It is pink in color. The site identifies it as 2008 magenta, but I'm thinking maybe it is amethyst instead? Thanks so much!!! xo xo Hedy

If the tag has a "S" at the end that means it is from f/w 2008 and it would be amethyst. Magenta is from s/s. Amethyst usually looks a little bit more purple, but I think it is the lighting here.

Hello wonderful people! Any idea what color, size, and model this B is? Is it a City, if so what size?

Lastly, does this bag usually come with a should strap or no?
Thanks in advance!
