Hello, just to share a little bit as im crazy about Men's Day.

Do you guys think it can be 09 Charbon?

Based on the strap & buckle, i think it's not the early Men's Day. And i have seen the model number "223409" with a 2010 year tag.

So i believe this model, 223409, is a newer version of 141175.

I may be wrong though :p. Do appreciate anyone found new info to input ;)

I wondered about that too but Addy has a pic posted on the bal messenger etc. thread and her 2009 charbon doesn't have the studs on the front. Plus the leather on mine feels like it could be chevre. Must admit I'm finding it confusing, I have seen the buckle like mine on an older bag, I'll have to try to find that again! And yes, I've seen you're posts re: strap shortening, that's why I became interested in the men's bags:D

Well, it's really tough identifying a Bal bag when it doesn't comes with the silver metal tag or year tag :p

Im glad my thread has inspired you to like the Men's Day. It's really a great bag!

Hope you can find the "identity" of yours soon, and looking forward to see the alteration of your strap ;)

It looks too dark to be Noix. I still think it is chèvre. It could be 2007 cafe. I don't know much about the men's styles so I'm not sure when the studs on the bottom came about. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Just a small update saira. I asked the seller and she said she was in the Bal store in San Francisco and the SA told her it was an agneau men's day bag. Don't know if this helps or not!:shrugs: Addy has a pic posted of a 2007 charbon on the messenger/hobo/etc. thread, no studs on the bottom front but it sure hangs the same as my bag, nice and smooshy :) I'll let you know if I ever solve the riddle! Thanks again for your help!

There was also a 2009 charbon which is agneau. Since there are no cards, it's hard to tell the leather without feeling it. I don't really trust Bal SAs since their knowledge is more limited than a lot of ladies here, but I can only work on the info given to me. The tag indicates that it is pre 2011. So it could be 2008 Charbon.

Hi peacebabe,
Thanks for your reply, that explains why I can't find this color! Cannot imagine someone try fakes there, will hopefully be spotted by the staff from vestiaire before it reaches the buyer. :)

Hey everyone! I recently purchased a mini metallic edge Balenciaga in rouge brique from reebonz because I could not pass up the color and have not seen it in stores (assumed it is old season). I had it authenticates by *****************.com as well as by the "authenticate this Balenciaga" forum! However, I still doubt its authenticity only because I cannot find this exact model with silver hardware in the history of Balenciaga. Please let me know if this style exists and has ever been made by Balenciaga! Thank you! Here is a link to a Google drive with photos of the bag, as I cannot post many photos from my phone! https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By1y4I4YHqF6R2hhS2wzNTF0R1E

Hi Ceelasoul! That is one of balenciaga's newer metallic edge city bags. It is black with silver hardware. I'm not an expert on the leather but I know it's glazed grained goatskin (according to retailers). Barneys and neiman Marcus sell it! This bag was actually my first balenciaga purchase and it's amazing! Dressy and casual. Edgy but chic! And very sleek compared to past leathers/ styles!
