Hey everyone. So didn't find any other thread on this. I just bought a Balenciaga Vello from Neiman Marcus, so am pretty sure it's authentic but it didn't come with the little extra piece of leather patch. You know the little square of extra leather they put in I guess for customs or in case of repairs. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I exchange it?

It happened to me once from our Boutique here in Greece. I called them up and they ordered the swatch as they don't have any extra. But NM may have or take one from another bag. I had my SA order it and they send it to me after a month though. However they sent two of them.:D

Guys, pls help!. this is my first post which is why i cant open a new thread. I ordered my Bal wallet from a very reputable website, and it arrived all beautiful in the box.. until i opened it up.


This is a balenciaga giant gh continental strap... with a chloe stud. i will def be asking for a refund, but just very curious, does anyone know if Bal and chloe share the same button suppliers or the same factory that could get this mixed up? How could this have happened?

Does it mean this item is def fake or the website was getting goods that have failed quality control? its absolutely mind boggling.

Got a new Balenciaga classic bag from my hubby last month, found out it has been changed its zippers from Lampo into capital letter "B", and the metal tag as well!
About the metal tag:
The style of alphabet changed
First line: BALENCIAGA
Second line: PARIS
Third line: N•xxxxx F xxxxxx (x for the numbers)

The certificate card shows the bag's season is 2015 1,
And it bought from Printemps in Paris.

Hope this updated information gives help :)

Imho, really strange if some brand those have big name mix with the other brand name on the same bag. I think you should complain about that

Thank you, but these changes were made in S/S 2014 ( zipper F/W 2014 ) not in 2015 ;)

Hi everyone! I'm newer to Bal, and have been so grateful for all your knowledge and posts! I have the opportunity to purchase either an 05 magenta city or an 05 olive city and I'm really struggling to decide! I LOVE the magenta so much, but worry it is less practical than the olive. I would greatly appreciate any advice from those of you who might have one or both of them. Just fyi--the only other Bal I currently own is 08 ruby city (and I'm madly in love with her!) I did own an 11 black city but had to sell her to fund an 05. After stalking this forum for so long I just can't wait to get my paws on that 05 leather. Tia for your suggestions! ❤️

Can't advise you sadly. Either would be wonderful. If you have your heart set on an oldie, there are several variations of olive, in 03 and 04. Both are more brown or gold than the 05 olive however. The magenta is one of a kind if you want an 05 or older bag.

I never think about what goes with a Bal bag that I want. I buy the bag then hunt for clothing. It's easier. Good luck with your decision. :smile1:

Thanks for your reply! I actually ended up doing a completely different route altogether. I've been desperately seeking that older chèvre leather and was undecided about whether I wanted to stick with the city or try the pt bc I could use the extra room and I love the east/west look. Anyway--Yoogi's listed this beauty today and I impulsively pulled the trigger. It says like new, I'm hoping it really is! Also, curious about the wear and tear of Jaune. I need to do some research. 💛

Oh goodness! I assumed all 2007 bals were chèvre. I didn't notice this one wasn't until just now. I'm definitely wanting a chèvre bal this time! I just emailed them to cancel the order. I'm hoping they see it before they ship!

I had no idea there were some agneau bags in 2007. The search continues--but I obviously need to be more diligent about checking that! 😪
