I read somewhere that A means 2004? Does it mean that my bag is from 2004?

Thank you for your help in advance!!!

390154 is the style code (metal edge City, correct?) The heat stamps were coloured to match the hardware on the ME bags. 1000 is the colour code for black (one of the few we know for certain). The letter A has been in rotation twice since the moto bags were first produced. So A does stand for S/S 2005 but also for F/W 2017, which is your bag.

I ve owned & own GCH. Extra care definitely needed. My thought was "worst to worst, i still ve GSH under it if all worn off"!!
And i ve since some GCH, top leather all worn off & left with just the side. Looks shinny & even :p.

As for insert, i always use a bag organiser. Not specially for City, a size which fits all, and allows me to just grab out and put into which ever bag i want to use. It's shorter than City length, but i like it as i like my Bal slouchy instead of structured. Thus, it holds my items in place, and slouch nicely on both side when carrying. :cool:

Hi ladies!

I have a GCH and I'm finding myself liking the bag, but not loving it compared to my other bags. I'm torn between getting rid of it and keeping it. Two of the issues are I'm so paranoid about the leather coming off the hardware, AND my stuff gets all jumbled. Has anyone bought an insert to give the bag more of a shape when it's just sitting around?

Hi Muchstuff I saw your post in this thread too, will ALL city metallic edge bags have the "390154" on the bag of the tag? If the number doens't match then it would be fake?

I don't know enough about the ME City but with Bal generally yes, all bags of a particular style and hardware would have the same style code. For instance, all Cities with classic HW no matter what the leather colour would have the same code. If the City had giant HW all giant HW bags would have the same code. And so on. I don't know if Bal did a separate code for silver ME vs. gold, I would tend to think not but I guess it's possible.

Ok thanks, I'm going to stop by Nordstrom this weekend to check in person again to confirm...
