The alphabet stated in the leather tag is B indicating 2004. But the year stated is 2017 on the paper card. Could this be a fake? The zipper got a lettering B instead of lampo. Please help....:confused1:

Not speaking to authentication but Balenciaga has used an alphabet letter on their bags since F/W 2003. For reasons known only to them they started with the letter D, then worked backwards for four seasons to the letter A. F/W 2005 saw them start the alphabet at Z, and they've been working backwards ever since. S/S 2017 is indeed a B tag as well as F/W 2004. The tags look completely different however, so it's easy to tell the difference. The zipper was changed in, I think, 2014 to the B rather than the lampo logo.

I see you've posted on the authenticate this thread. Please add a picture of the bale and a better one of the tag back, you can't read the bottom line on the one you've posted. I don't see anything that's alarming. BTW your style code on the paper tag and on the bag match (390154) and are correct for a metal edge City. Don't worry about the other codes, no one's really sure what they mean (hardware type / colour / leather batch?) and are unimportant for authentication. We do know that 1000 stands for black, but not all colour codes seem to be consistent.

As I've mentioned the style code does match and is correct. The studs are metal.

I personally don't see a problem with it but wait until either ksuromax or connie come online for the AT thread as I don't have the authenticator status they have.

Could you be so kind to help me identify this bag?
I saw it online and immediately fell in love... the seller did not answer my questions so i'm searching the web for the an equal bag. On the pictures, there is no tag etc. It's a Giant 21 rosegold city, but what colour, what year is it? I'm really looking for your help!
