Do you have anything else to go on? Looks like G12 so that would place it somewhere from S/S 2013.
Sorry, maybe someone else will have a better idea. So hard to tell based on one pic, it's pretty brightly lit as well.
Hello, I'm trying to pin down a year for this Balenciaga bag. I'm reading through authentication websites, and from what I can tell, it is a black Balenciaga Part-Time bag with Giant 21 gold thimble hardware from between 2007-2012. It has the correct rivets, the correct strap attachment profiles/hardware, the correct Lampo zippers, the correct serial for a Part-Time bag. The only thing I can't confirm is the year of this model and why just the inner leather tag/zipper pull/zip pocket strip is blue when the rest of the bag is black?
Here is a collection of all my photos of the bag:
Hopefully someone can tell me what year this is from, and maybe which leather it was made of. Thank you in advance!

The bag's been dyed, that would be the only reason for the interior to be a different colour. This thread is for authenticated bags only, but I can tell you based on the tag that the bag is pre 2011. Possibly a 2009 tempete? Hard to tell. G21 gold was discontinued after 2009 except for limited styles and colours (rose gold replaced it until 2012 when the gold came back in G12 sized HW). It's likely agneau. If you had a pic of the mirror we could check for a pocket on the back, but I can't think of a colour blue that was produced in the chevre years for this HW that would match the interior of this bag.
Thank you for the info. How/Where do I authenticate a bag? I compared it to all authentication info available, it matched everything except the leather tag and inner zip pocket strip color. I'm 95% sure this is authentic. No mirror available.
Sorry for the mix-up, the interior fabric is still black but the Balenciaga tag and little leather strip inside the zipper pocket are light blue. Does not look dyed.
No need, I'm an authenticator and I'm going with authentic based on what I can see. It's definitely been dyed. (Fabric's always black in the majority of the bags).The texture of the bag looks like it's been dyed and in pic #7 if you look at the edge of the strap right where the bale is? You can see the same blue as the interior tag. Bal would NEVER make a bag with the interior tag a different leather colour than the bag itself.
For future see links below on where to get a bag authenticated and the pics needed and the format we need them in.

Hello ladies, hope everyone is having a lovely day. I wanted to reach out about this beauty that I purchased back in 2014 from another tpfer in fantastic condition. I love her so much that I've only worn her out a handful of times! Can any of you let me know if there's anything I can do to continue to preserve the leather...also does any one know the year that it is from and type of leather please?
