I’m not familiar with that particular store but up until now the bags I’ve seen from outlet stores have the “o” on the tag back. Giant hardware was discontinued several seasons back and is only available through outlet. We always try to be aware of any changes so we know of how to authenticate moving forward. That’s why I asked if the “O” was present on your bag. It has nothing to do with authenticity of your particular bag.

I understand. Maybe it is because the outlet stores are no Balenciaga stores, but sell multibrands products ? Since I bought it in a regular Balenciaga store (that's the point of la Vallée Village), I wasn't bothered with any authenticity issue anyway :biggrin:

Have a nice day :smile:

I forgot to reply on this point, but Giant City detailed hardware is still produced from time to time. For example, the SS 2019 collection my bag is from offered a few detailed hardware Giant City.

Another point with the Giant City is that, depending on the collection and the size of the bag, it may or not come with a mirror. Small and mini sizes from recent collections don't have one. I don't know for big sizes.

That's why I only buy mine in Balenciaga stores... Balenciaga products' "cahier des charges" is so tricky, I feel it is the only way to be 100% sure I am not buying a fake :biggrin:

Thank you for doing the hard authentification work, we need people like you :smile:

Hi everyone! I just acquired this beautiful (pre-loved) Castagna City G21 silver hw today. Unfortunately, it did not come with the tags so I couldn't determine exact season, but based on research, it's from 2010. LOVE this color, and it was in such great condition. It's a pandemic/post-Christmas/post-New Years/pre-birthday gift for myself. With everything that has happened in the past 10+months, I think we all deserve to spoil ourselves, even just a little. Hope everyone is well and safe in their own neck of the woods!
