Identify this Balenciaga

[ohricochet]

Rose gold hardware is no longer available. It was discontinued in 2012. The only way to get one is to go the pre-owned route.

Thanks Saira! That's prob why the one I saw for sale is so expensive then.

Greetings my of color...Saira. :worthy:
I received this mini and I love her.. I thought it might be Cumin but could you verify the color name for me?

Thank you very much.

Dear Saira,
Can you please identify this bag as I am fascinated by it, it seems to have newer items on it-I am not an expert and am confused by the sort of newer looking font and regular studs, it doesn't have flat brass or round unnotched hardware, etc. Fashionphile authenticates their bags...it is stated to be a 2001 caribou...TIA

You're in the wrong thread.
This is for "Authenticated Bags ONLY"

You need to post in the Authenticate Bal Thread.
Make sure to check the first post #1 for the required photos. They need specific pics to determine authenticity.

Hi can someone tell me what year and color this is? My hunch is nuage but wanted a better opinion

Saira, could you help with some info please? How does the men's day/messenger differ from the men's courier? I've seen pics of various permutations of the men's day bag with either buckles, studs or nothing at all on the bottom corners, and with at least a couple of different styles of straps. Are the style changes just variations from year to year? Is there a chart somewhere?

I know you've seen this one before, we discussed the colour/year/type of leather before I bought it. It's definitely a different feel of leather from my 2009 day bag, much softer but the tag numbers seem to coincide with bags from 2009. I know you thought perhaps chevre...the colour is an absolute brown, if anything a hint of almost grey as an undertone, completely neutral. I've added a couple of pics I took of the tag but it's so hard to get the colour right in a photo, very frustrating. Anyway, any info you can give re: day/messenger vs courier would be most welcome, thanks!

I'm not really familiar with the men's styles so I can provide you much help. In terms of the tag, I don't think it coincides with the 2009 tag. I have to do some more research and get back to you.

The tag indicates that it is a 2008 anthra weekender
