Second time I've seen this pic posted, it's a blackout bag but do we know who's carrying it? Has the owner had her friends personalize it? I can't imagine this is a Bal creation. Who was the other celeb who had her kids scribble all over an expensive bag? (Sorry, I'm not big on the celebrity stuff)...Have to admit though, it makes the bag look more interesting.

Yes, it is a Bal creation- blackout valentines bag in red or black. Price shown is wrong for the bag pictured. Pic is of S size; price shown is for the smaller mini size. City S blackout in standard or holiday (graffiti) is $2490 USD. They do look cooler IRL than in pictures. I have plain black (noir) in the smalll size (the size pictured). It's divine.

Hi, that was a post I made back in December when I first saw it. Love the bag now.

Hi! Can anyone help me with the style, season and year, and the leather type for this Mini City? I thought it was "Topstitched" but I can't find any images or info online. I did see lots of topstitched Bal shoes, though! The leather is smooth and very finely grained - I thought calf, but it's softer than another veau Bal I have. The stitching, or at least most of it, looks like small staples. It's metal. Any help
appreciated! IMG_4811.JPGIMG_4812.JPGIMG_4813.JPGIMG_4814.JPGIMG_4816.JPG

This bag is driving me slightly crazy. I saw it In Nordstrom Vancouver last summer? fall? Can't remember exactly when. The only thing I've found that's remotely similar on line is called a pick stitch bag, and it's a bucket, on TRR, they say fall 2015, which I've never seen before, see attached link. And if the Bal tags are getting that sloppy looking it's going to be a problem IMHO to authenticate them. Sorry, I know it's not much help.

Not sure if this helps?

I should never do things in a hurry :doh:...GGH was still produced in limited styles and colours after the RGGH was brought in in 2010. But what those styles and colours are I don't know. Your tag has lower case "made in italy" which would indicate pre 2011 but I have a Hip that's 2011 with lower case as well (unless I rec'd the wrong paper tags, still looking into this). Do you have the mirror? Does it have a pocket on the back?

You are so knowledgeable! Thank you! Yes the mirror has a pocket on its back. I wonder if this could be mastic/oatmeal..?
