Thank you, everyone! Hugely appreciate your efforts in helping me identify this colour and leather! I guess I’ll assume that it is an 08 Agneau.

Do you have the mirror?How does one tell the difference between an ‘05 Bubblegum bag and an ‘08 Bubblegum bag? I just received one today in the Day style, and I’m perplexed! I can take any photos necessary if needed. Thanks in advance!!
You're likely to be 05 then. Depends on who you listen to. Corey at RDC says that chevre bags were discontinued in 07, with S/S being a mix of chevre and agneau, F/W being exclusively agneau (although we know there probably were anomalies there). CeeJay says S/S 08 was a mix of the two leathers, F/W exclusively agneau. I don't think I've seen a pocket on an 08 mirror. if anyone has one I'd love to see it! I will admit my marine 08 Day bag really looked like chevre, but the tag said agneau so maybe there was just excellent agneau in some 08 bags, dunno...
Thank you for all the wonderful info. I have an 08 T tag First with a pocket on the back of the mirror. However, it is black, and the mirror could easily have been taken from another black Balenciaga bag if the original one went missing. Here’s a pic in natural lighting of the bubblegum bag in question:
I must have been having a senior moment, it didn't take me long to find a S/S bag with a pocket mirror. I did a search to try to compare zipper tapes and honestly, every bubblegum I saw looked different. Anyone out there who owns the colour?
Oh my gosh, that’s all I’ve been doing is comparing zipper tape, the glazing along the edges, the stitching, the leather, etc etc and I can’t seem to find ANY consistencies either lol
Any more help from anyone would be VERY appreciated
I need to correct this, I misquoted Corey. She said that all S/S 07 bags were chevre and the F/W ones were a mix. This is what she told me, many thanks @RealDealCollection for this info:
"I have been reading some threads that incorrectly state F/W '08 as the end of chevre. It was actually a year earlier F/W '07 bags could be either Chevre or Agneau depending on the timing of production. All the moto bags in S/S '07 were Chevre, and all of them in S/S '08 were Agneau. There are exceptions of course, like the Holiday Metallic bags were Agneau and then they went with a grained goatskin like the Hamilton bags. The Balenciaga.com website went live in 2008 which is what I think sparked the change of leather to larger hides with more availability to increase production".
Where that leaves us with mirrors on S/S 08 bags, I don't know.
Not authentic, sorry. ( Please post any future asks in the “authenticate this” thread).
This bag is selled by one of the authentic preloved boutique and this boutique have been selling authentic bag for a long time if I'm not mistaken I have know this boutique from 2014, is there possibilities that this boutique don't know if the item they sell was fake? Because I never heard bad rumours about this boutique since 2014, about fake stuff etc, if really they sell fake stuff for a long time to a lot of customers, must be one find out by Entrupy or some kind of things and claimed it
I don’t know why you’ve posted two different silver tags, the second one posted doesn’t belong. But the bag is absolutely fake, it’s not even a good fake at that. All of the details are poorly done.
