How to Know When Your Balenciaga Bag Was Made


Got a Balenciaga bag and wondering when it was crafted? Knowing exactly when your Balenciaga bag was made can make a big difference for authentication, resale price, and collecting. Balenciaga bags carry hidden codes that reveal their production year, and we’re here to guide you through decoding them. Whether you’re a fashion lover or want to ensure your purchase is the real deal, this article will help you uncover your bag’s story in a few simple steps.




Finding the Date Code Inside Your Bag


Most Balenciaga bags have a tag inside that holds the key to their production year. You’ll typically find this tag:


1. On the back of the interior brand logo.

2. Stamped on the inner panel of the leather lining or a patch pocket.

3. On a metal plate (common in older bags) or a leather tab (more common in newer models).


For example, older bags (2001–2008) often had sterling silver metal tags, while newer ones use nickel or leather tabs. Check carefully, as the tag’s placement can vary by model.




How the Date Code Letters Work


Once you’ve found the tag, look for a series of numbers and letters. Look carefully at the characters. You're searching for a single, standalone letter within the code, often near the beginning or end.


Now, match the letter on your tag to the season and year using this reference list:



Using the table, you can decode any letter. For example, if you find the letter “F” on your bag’s tag, that means Spring/Summer 2015. Likewise, “G” would be F/W 2014, “H” is S/S 2014, and so on.



Important Note: If your bag was made before 2003, it might not have a letter code. In that case, you’ll need to rely on other authentication methods like LEGIT APP. Vintage bags may lack the letter but have unique fonts or seasonal colors that LEGIT APP’s human experts and AI can authenticate.




Why Knowing the Production Year Matters


Balenciaga is one of the most iconic luxury brands, known for its edgy designs and premium materials, like the famous Motorcycle City Bag. But with popularity comes a downside: Balenciaga is also one of the most counterfeited brands out there. Checking the production year is a key step in authentication, helping you verify that your bag aligns with Balenciaga’s manufacturing timeline. Plus, it’s exciting to know the history behind your favorite accessory!
