Thanks Just Violet!!! :) its leather feels very thin and dry to me! Maybe I'm just used to my metallic goatskin being thick and shiny!!!:)


Ehehehe not at all, but please wait for authenticators opinion indeed, they are absolutely super experts and with huge knowledge about Bal. I am only a simple member of the forum ;)
 
So I got the bag today from the seller. She is a trusted seller so I went ahead with the purchase. She told me that the bag was 2014 but whenI got it today I couldn't find the paper that states model and year make of the bag.
It is actually brand new and never been used bag in anthracite/ rose gold g12 hardware. I paid 150 usd for it. I can't tell if the letter says K or R ..:( I feel like the seller didn't send the paper tag because it has the year on it. I should send it back but I really like the rose gold haha.
Is this bag really made in 2012? :(

In my opinion it's a K, which means it is from F/w 2012. It could not be a R because the rose gold was introduced in 2010 and R is from s/s 2009. Beside that it's not anthracite, but gris tarmac, which is as well a lovely shade of grey. But i could be wronging so please wait opinion from the expert ladies because they are more prepared than me.
Sorry ladies if i am offending you with my answers (not my intention indeed) , i was just browsing this thread and thought i could give help ;)

Hello, designer bags lovers,

I`d like to get info about one Balenciaga Papier A4 bag that was carried by Rosie Huntigton_Whitely. For me It seems to be a light blue or sky blue but all the links show light grey or iris color. Is it the same bag or the color I am looking for is already sold out.

I would appreciate your insight

The link is for the possibly same color of the bag
I'm not good with the paper line because the colors aren't the same as the classic line. I have not seen her carry this bag, so I assume it is new. Maybe someone else can chime in with the color.

Would you Bal experts please tell me which year this one made of? Is it 2011 coquelicot? Thank you so much for your help!!!

The back of the tag wasn't needed. The silver plate indicates that it is 2011 Coq. I had a coq city that I sold and didn't think the leather was thin. However, leather can vary within seasons. I prefer the 2011 coq color to the one produced in 2012.

2012 anthra velo.

I just got a reply from the seller and she said that it is a 2014 bag. I feel unsure about the seller if it's 2012 bag but she is telling me otherwise. Should I not purchase it?

The hardware in the photo looks like rose gold. If that is true, the bag would not be from 2014 since it was discontinued in 2012. The velo you have doesn't seem to have the adjustable strap which came during the f/w 2012 season. If that is the case, it would have a letter on the back of the tag. She may have purchased the bag in 2014, but that doesn't mean it is a 2014 bag. Ask her for a photo of the back of the tag inside and a photo of the white cards

This link will only help if you have a bag that has a silver plate, one with lettering on the back, or has a white card. Like I said, if it is rose gold hardware on the bag, it is definitely from 2012. If you want the exact season, I would need more info. Do you have any further pictures or a link to the auction?

It is a K tag and from f/w 2012 which means that it is gris tarmac and not anthracite. Gris tarmac was made for one season and it was to replace anthracite. It is more of a charcoal grey than the complicated anthracite which can have blue and green tones.

Like I said multiple times, the bag is from 2012. It is a K tag and from f/w 2012 which means that it is gris tarmac and not anthracite.
