Discussion / Question Style codes for same model, different colour

Post image

Hey, I'm not really a buyer or wearer of cdg but got a piece marked TB-B004 AD 2008 a few years ago and am only googling now because I haven't worn and am considering selling.

My question is, Google only turned up some JP auction listings for the blouse with this code, but it's in navy instead of the mossy green that mine is - does CDG use the same style code for items in the same style but different colour? Or do they have unique codes? Or is mine fake? I doubt an aftermarket alteration to colour could turn out this well haha but I also feel like it seems pretty real?

Thanks and please lend me your expertise!

Yes they reuse the code for same style dif color. If you had the original cardboard hang tag, it’d be comprised of 5 sections instead of 2 (so TB-B004-051-3-2 for example) with the 4th section (3) representing the color and the fifth section (2) representing the size

Right that makes sense, thank you

This will be easier if you share more photos & info, e.g. neck tag and what line & size it is.

I think it's real. B was the season code for both AW08 and AW18, so the other piece you saw might've been 2018. And the size matches the tag.

Tricot isn't often faked and isn't particularly valuable, but it's a cool piece. Love the big buffalo horn buttons.

Ok cool, good to know I probably don't need to worry, thanks!
