Hi Saira,

Here you go, i hope it helps.

I only know that this is the older style of Men's Day as its with 2 side buckle adjustment. The current one, both side adjustment is by holes, just like Velo. As for when they started producing the new style, i really have no idea :sweatdrop:

Oh man, I'm not real good with the men's stuff. This looks like chevre leather and my instinct tells me from 2006. Do you have a photo of the tag?

It's definitely Chevre and I still think it is blue roi from 2006. I think the men's day bag started in 2006. I'm not sure when the style changed. Most likely recently in 2011 or later.

Hi, I found the metal plate on this agneau pewter Balenciaga make up clutch to be interesting as I thought only the first, city and work had metal tags (but then I am a newbie). I was hoping you might be able to tell me if this metal tag is silver (just tarnished?)--it doesn't have the sterling silver stamp in the corner, and more curious whether you think this pewter make up clutch is a 2004 model, please? It has been authenticated by Fashionphile and is posted awaiting authentication in tPF. FP didn't have any tags or information as to the year.

The link below with pics should be working to the FP website as the bag is in transit to me. I can also upload pics if you prefer. Thanks very much in advance for any help you can provide! :smile1:

Hi (again) while I'm at it, I have one more Balenciaga bag question in regard to identifying the year and whether you think it might be agneau or chèvre. The seller bought this black PT RH bag at the beginning of 2008 in Jan/Feb. so I didn't know if you could tell me if you think it is a leftover 2007 or Spring 2008? Apologies in advance if this is an untenable question!?

The black leather is hard for me to photograph accurately--and it changes color drastically depending upon the light. I can send daylight pics if helpful.
In daylight it can look like literally graphite, like a heavy pencil rubbing on paper into a sheen, but its not superficial, doesn't sit on top, its in the leather, can appear like a graphite pencil gray sheen literally, and then inside during nighttime artificial light it looks black. very textural, wrinkled, veiny on sides, almost but not cracked, broken in durable leather that has a softness slouchiness but a toughness to the leather at the same time. Has a sort of somewhat almost shiny waxy coat on top, like a seasoned patina, feels nice unique to the touch, but much different from the new bags. Anyway, I love this bag, was my first moto bag this year.
Has a great leather smell and pocket mirror. Has been authenticated twice, once here on PF, once from PM.
The pics are here in post # 6600

I would agree with that assessment .. does look like Orange Brulee.

Word of warning .. make sure to get the bag authenticated; people have gotten fakes from Bluefly.

This is from 2005 and is called the shoulder. I don't think it should have a metal tag, but I am not super familiar with this style.

It is sometimes hard to tell in photos, but is your bag possibly Anthra? If so, the threading would be grey and not black. I think it is possibly Anthra and is from 2007 or s/s 2008.

Hi. I posted this question on Bal chat room but I think bal members might not heck that thread often because I don't get reply. So I wish to post the same question here. If this is not allowed, feel free to delete this post. Thank you.

Hi. Does anyone know what is the difference of Balenciaga Editors Bag compared to regular bal?

And another question I have is about Bal bag that has edges trimmed in perforated style (Brouges???) is this version considered as limited edition? Which year was this style designed? Thanks in advance for enlightening me on Bal bags.

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by the above. There are various styles of the classic moto bag which include the first, twiggy, city, day, town, velo, work and weekender. You can learn more here: http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga-reference-library/.

In terms of the perforated style, yes that is referred to as Brogues. It was produced from 2009-2013, I believe.

Thanks so much Saira1214 for your help! FP mislabelled the name of the bag--it's a shoulder! Yes, I looked up more in the PF archieve/references and now that I have the right name (thanks to you) ;) it looks like it is a 2004 holiday collection pewter--may be why it has a metal tag that makes it different. Much appreciation for your kind expertise--Thanks, You are super!!!
(Sssy just authenticated it too and said it was a shoulder pewter bag (flat) from 2004 but the label will say 2005!).

Thanks very much again Saira1214 for your help and expertise in confirming this!! IRL, the zippers and stitching are black and there isn't a strong undertone color to it so maybe faded a little? Indoors in natural light out of direct sunlight it looks a good black color, going lighter toward the wrinkled areas...in any case I really love it--I got it pre-loved. I tried to see how dark the anthra was back then in online pics and I can definitely see how you could think it might be anthra, but it looks like the zippers were more dark gray than black, and mine IRL are definitely black as well as the whipstitching. Many thanks!! :D
