Hello! :)
Thank you for replying so quickly and the grats on my bags! I'm really happy.

Oh! What is the diff between 12 & 21? Is it merely size? I thought it looked bigger than the 12s I usually see, and assumed it was 21! Sorry! >.< Also, do you know what colour the HW is? I'd think RG but I'm not so sure either.

Ah I see. The street's been a mystery, when I found out it was a street I started googling, but couldn't find any info for it was discontinued. :( Thanks for clearing it up haha!

The work is g12 hardware, not g21 and it is 2012 Gris Cement. Both bags are Ageneau leather and your street is from 2010. The leather difference is difficult to explain because all bags and their leather vary. There can be many explanations like that's just how it is, storage, conditioning, wear, etc. Maybe because your street was pre-owned and used more the leather feels softer. Your grist cement should break in with wear. Congrats on your two new bags!

g21 is the giant hardware that was produced from 2007-2011. It was discontinued in 2012 and replaced with g12 hardware which is a smaller version and it is what we have now. The color of the hardware is rose gold which was discontinued in 2012. Hope that helps.

Oh I see, yes you've been so helpful! Thank you

People have also said it is mGHW, what does the m stand for? Meshed? >.< Also, wonder what you think of the anthracite street's HW. Regular brass? Or is it that its just super tarnished haha

Again, sorry for the many many many questions!

Hi there !

I am a French girl who find a Balenciaga bag in a bric-a-brac shop 5 days ago. The authentification thread say it is a vintage bag from the first designer (apparently not the same nowadays). I found a website where someone sell it saying it is a 80's bag : http://www.elioferraro.com/vintage-...ccessories-selection/balenciaga-80-s-bag.html
These are the only informations I get and I really want to know more about it.
Can you please help me ?

Here the pictures :

Hi experts!
Please identify this color name. I have been researching the color for a few days but I couldn't find it.

This color is like Cassis between Bordeaux. It's hard to describe.
Thank you!

I just posted this above but it was the wrong tag.
I'm looking for the right one but I couldn't find it.

It is 253038 6255 K 532244 in the wallet.
If it's enough info, please tell me what year and color.
Thank you so much!

So, I took my Grandma to a Thift store a few weeks ago and decided to look at the handbags as I waited. I came across several designer bags like Coach, Les Pliages Longchamp, and last this Balenciaga bag. However, I 'm having a hard time knowing for sure if it's real or not. The leather is very soft and beautiful although it's an older bag. After researching Balenciaga bags all authentication items match with the exception of how the numbers are listed on the tags. Please help me identify this beautiful bag. Thanks
