Not commenting on authenticity, but this is a Part Time style, which was discontinued maybe 5 years ago? Also I don't believe the PT ever came with the adjustable strap either (could be wrong). Many of the bags I've seen on TJ Maxx's site appear to be outlet bags, as they're a mishmash of styles/colors/hardware that were "officially" discontinued (like G21 hardware on a style that would be too new to have that hardware, or reusing a past season color). Unless the necessary pics are provided I'm not sure anybody can say for certain- to my eyes it looks like Gris Cement from 2012, but the leather looks newer (the past few years it's had that dry crinkly look). So my guess is outlet stock. Lets see what the experts say.

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...

Thanks!
I’m a bit shocked a brand like Balenciaga would make bags for outlets

why?
everyone these days is trying to reduce the waste and minimize their Carbon footprint, why not make a small qty of bags for the outlets if they have left some hides and hardware? maybe, not enough for a full collection, but perfectly fine for a small stock in the Outlet to ensure full use/minimal waste policy compliance
