Saw a Dark Night City with mRGGH pop up on Fashionphile and snagged it in about 3 mins flat. Waiting for it to (slowly) work its way to me. Any way to tell if it's from 2011 or 2012? I'm hoping 2011 as I read some opinions that 2012 leather in general wasn't that great...

Thank you! I'm going to hope for the best and return it if it doesn't blow me away. Oddly enough, all my bals so far are chevre so this would be my first agneau.
I've had some great agneau and some not so great. I didn't care for my F/W 2012 at all, it had that coating they put on the leather to protect, I guess, from colour transfer etc. I don't know anything about the S/S 2012 though.
Got the 2012 S/S Dark Night today and I found the leather nothing to write home about. The leather was OK but there was a green undertone that was coming out at the top parts of the bag. Looks like the 2011 version is definitely the way to go.
Hi!! Could anyone possibly help me with the year of this Anthracite Twiggy?? I will include the link from Yoogi's and also some of my own pictures. Lmk if you need any more pictures. It feels really soft and smooshy to me- but I am new to Balenciaga, so may not know exactly what I'm talking about! But I love her, and am really happy with the color and leather. Also, I know the Twiggy isn't perhaps one of the more popular styles, but I love her!! But would love to know what year she is from! Thanks so much!https://www.yoogiscloset.com/balenciaga-anthracite-lambskin-leather-motorcycle-twiggy-bag-89701.html

Also, I noticed my mirror has the card slot, making me think it's a little older bag than Yoogis thought when I emailed them. They weren't sure, but a guess was 2013-2014. But I thought that the card slots on the mirror disappeared around 2008?? Thanks!
Thank you, peacebabe! Cbarrus authenticated for me, and suggested that I check in on this thread for help with the year. It's amazing to me how knowledgeable you all are about the brand!! How can you look at a bag and know so much about it??!! So impressed! I was reading on some other threads about good and bad leather years. Interesting! Yoogi's guessed 2013 ish, but it makes me happy if it's a 2007- seems like that was a good one! I'm sure it's very individual with each bag, though. Mine feels so, so soft and smooshy! I love it! I can't believe I found one in such wonderful condition....honestly, it looks almost new, inside and outside.....for such a great price! Thanks to everyone on this forum for sharing your knowledge!! And thanks again, peacebabe and Cbarrus!
One last question, peacebabe.......if it is 2007, what kind of leather would it have been on a Twiggy? Thanks so much!!!
