HI, just purchased this off of eBay, Conni feels it's authentic and pre-2012, she suggested I post here to see if you can zero in a bit on the year, TIA!

It is pre-2011 and looks a lot like Vert Fonce. Based on the tag, is is likely chevre. However, since this is a men's style, I am not sure if the names correspond for colors. I'm not really familiar with the men's bags. If it is vert fonce, it would be 2007.

Thanks saira, the seller stated agneau but I'm hoping it's chevre. I'll also do some searching on the men's Day!

Darn, no cards...you mentioned that based on the tag it could be chevre...may I ask how you can tell? The Bal codes are a complete mystery to me...

Ahh, that's why I'm wondering how the seller knows, unless she knows when she bought the bag. The reason I say chevre is because of the way the back of the tag looks. It is hard to decipher bal codes, except for style and the rest is a mystery to most. I'm just going by experience and what I have seen, so I could be wrong. Plus the color fits as I really do think it is vert fonce. It could also be truffle, but I doubt that. If the bag is brown with some olive/green undertones, it is vert fonce. If it is just a straight dark brown, it is likely truffle.

Thanks very much for your expertise! When the bag comes I'll give the colour a good hard look and report back to you if that's ok.

It came today! This is my first Balenciaga.. I say first because there will be more to come :) the town is smaller than I thought but I'm keeping it anyway because the color is so so so beautiful. I'm in love!

I still don't know what color tho. Definitely not rose thulian but the strap is not adjustable so does that mean it's not s/s 2012 coquelicot? ImageUploadedByPurseForum1445360738.874587.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1445360755.083805.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1445360774.687340.jpg

It's coquelicot. Either f/w 2011 or s/s 2012. I don't own any towns so I'm not sure about whether the strap will tell the year, but if I had to guess I'd say it's 2011 coquelicot. If you're addicted to the red, that's pretty much indication enough. f/w 2011 coquelicot was a highly intoxicating color!

Thank you! Yes it is quite intoxicating! Hopefully sassy and peacebabe tell me it's real :)
