Hello helpful people, I’m new to Balenciaga and yesterday I visited a shop selling a Bal piece which has 50% off mark on its price tag. Since there is only one, I got it for myself only to realise when I got home that it was a 2012 style. Can anyone help me what style is this please? It’s a shame I don’t even know what is my first Bal bag. Thank You so much!!

Hi! Can someone help me figure out the color/year of my second hand Classic Town? Just passed authentication. I think it's 2012 gris poivre, but not sure. Thanks in advance :smile1:

It's 2011 papyrus. Gris poivre has the adjustable strap. Your's does no have that, correct?

ETA: Thank you for including so many pictures. A lot of times the nuances help (i.e. back of tag; strap; different angles and lighting) to ID versus just looking at one photo of a bag.
 
In the Celebs with BBags thread, a picture was posted today of Shakira with a bright reddish pink city. From the picture, the leather looks different from norm and the hardware appear to be shiny. Does anyone know what year this bag is from? Was it a limited edition? Thanks in advance.

She is carrying the fluo pink lizard embossed classic city from the Balenciaga 10th Anniversary Special Edition.
 
Hi Saira,

I need your help to identify this bag. Both the year & interior tag stated that it's a F/W 2012 bag. However, i can't find such blue in the F/W 2012 color chart.

Appreciate your help in this :smile1:

Not Saira but I will chime in if you don't mind. I was offer to buy bag like this some time ago, the colour is gorgeous, it is Bleute (Crocus) from F/W 2012. Unfortunately it turned out it was one of these odd 2012 bags. I think they are very rare, because I don't see a lot of them.
 
Hi hi Sssy, your comment is always much appreciated!

What do you mean by "one of these odd 2012 bags" if you don't mind explaining. Something bad or they are very good fake?

Probably you remember we have a lot of super fakes floating around- most were from 2012. I was unfortunate to find 2 bags in this lovely colour but 2 were questionable, so I passed on them. One was a Work and second one a City. 2012 bags always make me nervous ;)
