Strange. My Galet City has a silver tag AND a leather tag with BALENCIAGA imprint.

oh sorry, I thought you said yours had the imprint as well - you mean your Officier has and your Black doesn't?

Yup mine was from Hilton.

Yeah, rest of my 09 bags don't have imprint on the leather tag, only Officier. And I got my SS09 Black from Hilton too

 

[bag-gage]

LOL, definitely quality control issue then!

I just went to look at mine. And YES. My Galet Work has the BALENCIAGA.PARIS on the leather tag under the silver tag. AND my SS09 Black City has the same!

So maybe it's not a defect. Could be a new security feature? My City was bought from a Bal store, the FW Work from Erica. Numbers on both are fine.

No way! So you've got TWO bags that have the Balenciaga imprint that are not supposed to, correct? My goodness what's going on here.

I checked all mine, its just the Galet City that has it. I checked my Officier City and it does NOT have it.

So weird. Thanks for confirming.

sweetlust, thanks so much for your photos! I took some yesterday too but haven't uploaded them yet. And yup - looks just like that. I'll upload photos very soon.

My Officier City does not have an imprint. Seems like there's no consistency so far. Oh what Bal does to us.

And yes, ya caught me. I was totally petting/fussing/molesting my bag. :shame:

Yes we are!

So I'm home now and..

09 without Balenciaga Imprint on leather tag under silver plate:
Noix
Raisin
Maldives
S/S Black (^^bag-gage)

Seems like poor Ms Officier is the odd one out

I tried to take some pictures:
It is tough to take the imprints itself:

but you can see it from reflection on the underside of silver plate:

I never noticed until now, thanks RERE for pointing out! Were you siting around just caressing Ms Galet?
