Do the number of tassels mean anything on a Balenciaga?
No, the number of tassels on a Balenciaga bag do not have any particular significance or meaning. Some of its bags feature tassels and others do not. Some people use the tassels and the way they’re attached to determine if a used Balenciaga bag is real or fake.
