Thanks!!

I would guess either a '04 true red or '05 rouge theatre. But I'm leaning towards the '04 since this is the shade and the color could look a tad deeper.

^I agree.

I think the color looks kinda flat and also lighter than RT. I'd say its' an 04 True red.

Not that it really matters .... but I thought True Red was an 03 color?

Like psaseattle's Red WE?

To clarify, 03 Red is just called 03 red like psaseattle's weekender. 04 red is also called true red.

As for this bag, I am a little confused as to what it is. It isn't a city - it's a work which means it can only be 05 or later I believe as they didn't make the work style before then. Also the hardware looks brass to me not pewter like the 03 and 04 reds would be. But I have had two 06 works and neither have had feet on the bottom.

Perhaps an older work does have feet - can someone else confirm this? It doesn't look like a weekender as it would have 3 rivets (4 in total) on the front handle instead of two.

It looks like Rouge Theatre to me. It can't be 03 red or 04 red because the work wasn't made until 05

lizz · Jun 28th, 2008, 07:51 PM

Rouge theatre?

Babi · Jun 28th, 2008, 08:02 PM

It looks like RT to me: I can't see PH and the red is a deep dark red. Just my 2 cents :-)

psaseattle · Jun 28th, 2008, 11:41 PM

My RT work did have feet.....

MarieG · Jun 29th, 2008, 12:02 AM

I was thinking that it looks like Rouge Vif

lovely64 · Jun 29th, 2008, 08:05 AM

I am also thinking RT but the feet are puzzling me! My teal work does not have feet, and I haven´t seen a work with feet????

beauxgoris · Jun 29th, 2008, 12:16 PM

Could it be a (good) fake?
