As saira mentioned, without more photos it's not possible to say with certainty, but if it had a place for a strap it may have been a part time. If no strap, it may have been a work. Saira mentioned the colour as anthracite. If you look in the reference library under the style reference subforum you could look at photos of those two styles. If you prefer a shoulder strap you might want the part time, or if you prefer one a little smaller, the city is very popular. The bag in your photo had what's called giant hardware, which came in two sizes depending on when the bag was manufactured. This looks like G21 which was made earlier and was the larger of the two. Saira mentioned it could have been 2007 or 2008, so depending again on when it was manufactured the leather could have been either chevre (goat) or agneau (lamb).
There's a ton to learn about Balenciaga, which is part of the fascination for me. I'm still a rookie when it comes to these bags but half the fun is learning. We're very fortunate to have some really knowledgeable people who are willing to take the time to help us out. Welcome to your next obsession! :roflmfao:

Hello Saira,

Is this Argent from 2008? the color grey seems a bit darker than others I find on the web but it may be the lighting on pics.

Do it! This bag is giving me a little bit of trouble because it can be a darker Argent. I keep going back and forth. Either way, you will get a coveted color if it is indeed 2008 Argent or 2009 Galet.
