Does anyone know what color this "celadon" mattelase bag on Bluefly is?

Nope, I don't think it's a fake. Comparing it to my Matelasse, the quilting is right, as are the tassels and also the front part of the bag which is made of wild boar leather (a different texture from the rest of the bag). As for the color, maybe it's a Naturel (http://forum.purseblog.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=191729&d=1181095251)

I wonder if it's the Ivoire (Ivory) from last season? For this past summer, Balenciaga made the Matelasse in pure White ... but prior to that, they had an Ivory color.
However ... Celadon does usually describe a color that has a green hue; maybe the Bluefly folks are color-blind?

Gosh, Ceejay, it looked too "cold" to me to be the ivoire... I checked Ivoire as well on Diabro (http://diabro.net/product_info.php/cPath/192_237/products_id/8779) and it looks a lot yellower. This looks almost like a pale, pale celery. Or maybe it's just that the pic taken was really bad. But why call it celadon then?!
You know what ... now that you mention it, Balenciaga did make a Whistle bag in a strange Celadon color, and the name that was used to describe it was "Celery"! Maybe this is the Celery color ???
Maybe at Balenciaga there was a patch of Celery leather in excess, and so they thought to make a random Matelasse out of it?!
