It looks like it might be a C tag (based on the FP pics but I can't read it for sure). If so it would be F/W 2016. (This isn't confirming authenticity).

It'll be between 2005 and S/S 08. I'm guessing maybe an 07 French blue? Just a guess, maybe someone else can dial it in.
My guess is French blue or Electric blue, but it doesn’t look very “electric.” Is there a way to tell which one it is?
Haven't had one for a while, but I remember French Blue having more greenish tinge. I think it might be Electric Blue. Here's a shot of my long gone French Blue. If you check the Library photos for likely candidates, it might help to compare the color of the zipper tape. The cloth changes less with age and lighting.

Hi everyone !
I'm from France , and I'm searching a new baby Balenciaga , but I want to buy a second hand ! so I found one , the medium city giant in gold , I don't know the real good name , !
I think is authentic, but I know in 2019 the copies can really be misleading !
So I search on internet and I found you forum ! So I ask the seller to have more pictures :
The leather. look good , the number look ok , the rivets are looking good too , and the shoulder as well ! so she don't have the bill because this is the second hand too , but before buy it I want to know if he's really authentic, and if is not , to what did you see that ??
Many many thanks for your help and really sorry for my bad English !!!!

Hi and welcome! Your bag looks promising but you're missing several of the photos we need to authenticate. (And the one of the tag back isn't showing the bottom line clearly). Please see the links below in red, one will show you the photos we need and the format they need to be in, and the other is the link to the correct thread for authentication. Please repost with the needed photos there and we'll take a look.
Thanks! I checked the zipper tape and tried to compare to the old pics posted but it’s hard to tell for sure. I think I’m leaning towards the electric blue from what I’ve read because the leather looks glossier and it has a bit more of an agneau feel to it I think... I may be wrong but oh well. Thanks for weighing in!
It would be from spring-summer 2013. When I google the color code (the last four digits at the top of the back of the tag), it comes up as bleu tropical.
Does anyone have any idea what this color might be?

It's identified as "lilac" but it seems much darker to me. Ink? Eggplant? Blue lavande? A photo of the tag sure would make it easier
So the description says it's from '06; and if that is correct, it looks more like "ink" to me. What do y'all think?
