Hello can someone please help me with the year/colour of this bag. I have purchased it from the USA and I am in the UK. It was a great price but the shipping and customs charges have raised it quite a bit. It’s also non refundable. They have specified it as 2012 S/S from what I can gather it must be either bleu cobalt or dark knight? But when I google other images it seems too navy to be BC and too light to be DK? Obviously I realise if it is from the 2012 collection it will be faded which is fine, I just really wanted a true dark navy and will be devastated if it’s BC as it’s way too light for me! Thank you.
Impossible to tell without seeing the underside of the tag; theRealreal gets colors wrong all the time. Pics aren't the greatest and the leather looks like it's peeling/fading in spots?Hello can someone please help me with the year/colour of this bag.

As for being non-refundable, I believe you can actually get a refund; check this forum, but there are people who have gotten one after talking to CS. Just complain the item wasn't in condition as described and they'll take it back.
Thank you but after shipping costs and customs charges to the UK it wouldn’t be worth my while to send it back to America. I just hope it’s ok! No idea on the colour then? X
Unfortunately, no. Your best bet is posting an underside pic of the tag once you get the bag. If it's really from 2012 there will be a color code that can tell for certain.
If I had to choose one I'd go with dark knight, you may find the bag is darker than shown, the lighting's pretty hot. But as @atlantis1982 said, the best way is to check the tag back.Hello can someone please help me with the year/colour of this bag. I have purchased it from the USA and I am in the UK.

Thank you so much ladies, I will pop back on with the inner tag when she arrives. Fingers crossed!
Hope somebody more versed with Bal can help me with this one...
Is there a way to tell what year this Weekender would be if it doesn’t have the metal plate inside? Do the leather-only tabs inside an indicator that it’s Lambskin?
Thank you in advance!

Dear Balenciaga Experts 
I am happy to find this beauty for a VERY GOOD deal it is quite preloved but I will try to restore it a bit. Would love to know the Style (Giant Hobo?), Year, the Color and maybe also the type of leather - does anyone of you know it? Thanks a lot in advance!

the bag is badly faded, and there are no rivets, nor zipper head good up-close shots, and without these pics i'm afraid i personally would refrain from commenting on it as i'm not quite sure about authenticity of this bag
