Date Codes

Each of the tags that have a metal tag only, will additionally have an alpha indicator at the end of its serial number. This alpha indicator designates the season that the color/bag comes from. Balenciaga is working its way backwards through the alphabet, so its fairly easy to determine what season your bag is from, on bags with a metal tag is, based on this letter.

For example:

SS07, has the designator “V”
FW07, has the designator “U”

So you can go forwards or backwards in time, to get to the season indicator that you’re looking for. (The letter “x” is not used in the series.) It stands to reason, that next season “SS08″… the indicator should be a “T”.

There is also a “Season code” on the paper card that comes with each Balenciaga bag, regardless of tag. This can be the easiest determinant of color, regardless of the type of tag the bag has inside.

A paper tag may read something like this: “2006 3 163259 D941T 250″
Indicating this is a 2006 bag, from the FW series, style Mini-bowling, in the color Blueberry. FUN!

How to read a Balenciaga tag

(from purseforum)

Here is how to read your tag:

The Silver Tag includes:
Nxxxx which is commonly thought to be Leather Batch,
followed by the letter designation the year/season (after S/S 2003)
Under that is the Style/Model number

The backside of the Leather tag often has the Style/Model number and what is commonly thought of as the Serial Number (listed below by style name/model number):

The Paper Tag includes

• the Year and a ’1′ for S/S or ’3′ for F/W.
• the next set of numbers are the style number and this should match your silver tag style number.
• the next set of numbers is the type of Hardware on the bag (ie raised brass, giant gold, etc)
• the last set of numbers seems to be linked to the color/season/year of the bag. Stay tuned for further decoding!
