Identify this Balenciaga

[saira1214]

Dear Saira,

Your expertise and assistance would be greatly appreciated in identifying the year/color of this Day bag. The seller says that it was purchased before 2008 and the color was similar to "duke blue" (varies from a dark prussian blue to a brighter royal blue). She just had it refurbished and did not have it dyed, but states and the pics show that there is blue color transfer on the hardware (indicating some dye/polish was used), so I don't know if it is the original color or not. I am interested in purchasing this bag but don't want a dyed bag. Oh the seller just said it was blue roi color...now maybe purchased in 2009...shes not sure now, so that's why I'm asking you! (Conni kindly said no red flags but needs another rivet pic)

4 links to the same bag selling on Poshmark. Thanks very much in advance!

Hey there, this looks like 2010 blue roi to me. I don't think it was dyed. Maybe there was some color transfer from whatever was done? To be sure that it wasn't dyed, are there purple undertones to it or a bright navy?

Hey there, this looks like 2008 marine to me. I don't think it was dyed. Maybe there was some color transfer from whatever was done? To be sure, is there a pocket on the back of the mirror?

Thanks so much Saira!! The seller said she didn't have the mirror, I am asking her if she recalls about the pocket or if she can find it--will let you know then. Thanks again!!

Check my post above. It is blue roi from 2010. That wouldn't have a pocket either.

Hi Saira, The seller said she didn't have the mirror and can't remember what it was unfortunately. Thanks so much--it sounds like you think it is more likely 2008 Marine though, right?

I definitely think it is 2010 blue roi, not 2008 marine. Either way, the mirror would not have a pocket. Hope that helps.

What is verte piñata? Giant hardware (g21), which is the bag posted, ran from 2007-2011. G12 (the smaller hardware) started in 2012 to present.

Hi Bal ladies, I just purchased this Giant Chic box... do you have any idea about leather / year? It's missing the mirror, so I would like to find a spare mirror (is it that even possibile??) for it! Thank you very much!

This is from 2010. The leather would be Agneau. It may be hard to find a mirror that goes with the bag. I'm not even sure if it comes with one. Maybe someone else can chime in?
