But that's cheating?
I am not an expert at Balenciagas so my guess is completely based on that tag haha. Will take pics of it, but I first wanted to see here ig you thought it is a castagna since I don't think the color matches 100% when googling.

I'm not an expert at all, but know that the PFers that help out with identifying prefer as much info as possible. Saira is the queen when it comes to this! Lucky you have a tag that helps to identify...I have one brown Bal in particular that I'm still trying to pin down!

I can understand that, but I wanted to see if the information on the tag actually fit the bag color. But anyway, from some googling I understand that P means 2010 S/S and that 001013 is the color? But I am not sure if I have understood everything correct so that's the reason I ask. I bought the bag second hand but they just said brown Balenciaga 
which is good enough for me to buy it since I need a brown bag You don't have any tag? is it a model that misses tags or has someone cut it away?

Some of the numeric codes are a mystery to people with way more knowledge than I have. Certain Bal bag styles (such as the City) have a metal interior tag that makes it easier to identify certain aspects of the bag, such as the season/year/style. The bag I'm referring to has a leather tag and while it's possible for me to figure out some of the info, it's harder to pin down the exact year etc.
BTW if you go into the Balenciaga Reference Library and look under "Balenciaga Colour Reference, you'll find a thread that shows a ton of brown bags...sooo many beautiful shades of brown!
Trust me, I have searched this forum a lot
and the rest of google But I still couldn't find anything that says "These numbers are this color". My bag is a city as you probably understand from the metal tag, and I am quite happy that it helps more
Have you put your bag up here for identification? if you just get the color you most likely get the year as wells since they always have different colors.
Oh yes, I have been drooling a lot over the color reference library
I love the dark caramel and my aged castagna. And then I love a lot of green colors (my favourite color).Trust me, I have searched this forum a lot

Yup, we've narrowed my bag down to a couple of years...and some of the colours were done in consecutive years so it's probably as good as it'll get.
Actually I posted in the authentication thread about my bag since I've bought it second hand (from a trustworthy site, which is recommended here on tPF) and wanted to be extra sure about the bag.
Do you have a link to your bag? would love to see the color (and model) that is causing you headache!
Yes, if authentic, this is 2010 Castagna. Note that in pictures it appears to be faded and the zipper pull on the pocket is not original. This is a good resource for identifying bags. http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga-colors-by-season/

Please visit the authenticate this Balenciaga sub-forum for authentication. http://forum.purseblog.com/balencia...ad-the-rules-and-883898-636.html#post29754102 This thread is for already authenticated bags. Please note that you will need to get better pictures of the tag for authentication. Please also see the required pictures you will need. If authentic, it appears to be a 2009 or later black RH part-time. Since black is a classic color and made every year, I would need to see a clearer picture of the back of the tag and know more details about the interior of the bag to narrow the year down.
HI GIRLS!
I AM THINKING OF BUYING THIS PRE-LOVED BALENCIAGA. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY AND AUTHENTICATE THIS FOR ME. MANY THANKS.
PLEASE HELP ME

Thank you
It just got authenticated in the thread here at tPF
And yes, the bag is very faded - I have got some good advice here in this forum on how to try to restore it (will first try leather honey). And second yes to the zipper pull - it is no original BUT do the bags even have a zipper pull there? seems like it has been added and not replaced. Strange, especially since it's hard to remove haha.
