S/S 2008 was the last season with the pocket on the mirror, and GGH was introduced in 2007, so that helps to narrow it down
Hi..I just found this post...does that mean that a bag that has the mirror with the pocket on the back is chevre....not agneau? Thank you so very much!!!
Generally yes, but that isn't a hard and fast rule. Balenciaga's quality control is not perfect and due to the switch during that year, some bags were made with chèvre and have no pocket while others are agneau and have a pocket on the mirror.
Yes ma'am the mirrors with pockets are on chevre bags. See link for my favourite cheat sheet!

I stand corrected, I'd forgotten I think we did have this conversation awhile back. Just to clarify, that would only apply to 2008, any mirror with a pocket from previous years would be chevre for certain, correct? I don't want to confuse oreo713 with my info!
Now I am totally confused....
OK...any bag made before 2008 is chevre, with the pocket on the mirror. There is a chance, however slight, that bags made in 2008 with a pocket on the mirror could be agneau, but my guess is the majority are chevre (this was the year Balenciaga changed from chevre leather to agneau).
Saira was pointing out that during the transition year some mistakes could have been made, and there may have been a few agneau bags that have mirrors with the pocket. I doubt there were many. Hope this helps.
Hello ladies!! Please help me identify, style color and year? thank you in advance!!
