Identify this Balenciaga

[klizhurley]

So I recently got my hands on this bag and was planning to resell, but the longer I hold onto it the more I'm thinking I may prefer restoring it and giving it some TLC (via a professional, definitely wouldn't DIY this one) I'm not sure exactly which year this is even from as I'm pretty new to the Balenciaga world! Any info on what bag this even is would be super helpful! Thanks!!

Hi everyone. I saw a purple bal First which is listed under Sapphire. I understand that 08 has 2 types of leather. So can anyone here let me know whether this leather is Chèvre or Agneau? Thanks

I need another help with this Bal that I have no plan to buy but would love to learn more about bal bags.

I have been searching for Bal Holiday Hamilton but in darker color, then I saw 1 listed in eBay. It says 2012. I read somewhere that not all chèvre leather Hamilton are Holiday Hamilton, is that right? Please educate me. Below is the eBay listing under Hamilton...is this from Holiday Hamilton series? Thanks

I'm so grateful to the wonderful ladies who help id and authenticate bags, your help is so valuable to Balenciaga fans. Can you help with this GSH blue bag? Without the metal plate I'm lost on color/year. Thanks!

This looks like 2011 Coquelicot to me, but the second picture makes it looks very orange. Can you please post a photo of the back of the inside tag? Do you happen to have any other cards that come with it? Thanks.

This is from f/w 2008 and is Sapphire. Bal changed from Chevre to Agneau in s/s of 2008 and some bags were still made with Agneau. However, by f/w season they were definitely all Agneau.

The Holiday Hamilton series started in 2012 and came with gold hardware. All hamilton bags are chevre, but a more pebbled chevre and tougher than the chevre used from 2001-2007. Bal did another Hamilton line that was not holiday and this is where that comes form.

Thank you Saira!

Thanks a lot Saira

Oh so the bag in eBay link is from a different Hamilton series (not holiday) but seller listed it under year 2012 which made me think it's from Holiday Hamilton.

I really want to have Holiday Hamilton but finding it very or super hard to find in market. But from now on I know I must only make sure they are from year 2012 with gold hardware! Thanks so much [emoji8]

These are both from 2011 and are agneau. One is the LE Turquoise and the other Papyrus.
