Hi Loulou, thanks for the reply. The City with sliver giant (21) has the code in the leather tag: 173084 502752. Can you identify the year/color by these code?

p.s. To answer that question: No you can't tell the year or color by that particular kind of tag with those numbers--you can only rule out certain earlier and later years and colors by exclusion only because the tags changed in the very early and later years (2011). I am still a newbie though and an expert could better answer that question--generally speaking from what I have read up on (quite a lot on this forum--there have been extensive efforts made to correlate tag numbers during this period to year and color, but with only minor exceptions it doesn't work) that is generally the answer (with a newbie disclaimer). It requires assistance from a rare expert like Saira to figure out these Bal mysteries!!

Black PT for sure! I don't really like open totes; I'm scared of things falling out, and if you're like me and ride the subway, I fear getting pick-pocketed. The neverfull is such an large pit and there's no zipper. The PT is more secure and the Bal's leather is so squishy and lush.

I have both bags and they are two totally different things. I use my Neverfull a lot as it is a very carefree bag. You can also load it as much as you like. It can be easily worn over the shoulder. The Bal Part Time is also a bag which takes a lot and if it is a Giant (with studs) you can wear it over the shoulder both from the handles and the strap. Also it is a bag which you can wear easily going out even in the evening with casual outfits. It is true that the Balenciaga leather is sensitive and prone to scratches, but I have had mine for over five years and it is like new. However, I rotate a lot (see my avatar). The best thing would be to buy both bags as you will definitely use them a lot. If I had to choose between the two though I think I would go for the Neverfull. The prices go up every year with LV and also I always prefer a brand new bag. If you decide upon the Balenciaga don't forget to ******************. There are many super fakes out there.

Is this Balenciaga PT a Giant Hardware bag or a Regular Hardware one (with the tassels)?
If it is a Giant 21 which means it has the big studs (before 2012) then this is a not very easy to find bag. Mine is with Gold Giant Hardware (G21) as I bought it in 2011. I love it.
