Identify this Balenciaga

[muchstuff]

I’m still confused. Apprently the paper card on the bacon bags literally said “Bacon”, which is odd because the paper cards on other bags don’t say “Twiggy” or “City” or whatever. There was also chatter about Bacon being made of pig skin, but the card said Agneau. Some said difference between Bacon and Whistle is that Bacon doesnt have the two strips of leather that circle the bag and connect up to the handles. From what I see, the handles are also different, and the rings attaching them to the bag are small and round, while the Whistle is attached with bigger oval rings. Also no exterior pocket on the Bacon, at least not on mine.

I’m surprised how little info there is on this bag.

Not much at all. Now that we know what it is I’ll try to look deeper.

Hi! Can anyone tell me what year this is from? I’m still trying to learn how to read the tags, but I get confused when there’s no letter in the sequence!! I know the small letters mean prior to 2011??(..I think), But then since it’s black, I don’t really know where to go from there. Still trying to learn what hardware was made in what year. Thanks a lot!

Black's always tricky. As far as I know the Velo was first introduced in 2010, and since it has the lower case tag that's the year it would be.

Thank you @muchstuff !! I was going to read some older posts about good and bad years for leathers, just for fun, and wanted to pin it down. I haven’t received my bag yet to check for myself

I find 2010 leather to be generally very nice.

It’s a Shrug, they were produced in 2005, possibly 06 as well, I can’t recall.
