Here are pics of mocha (left) and glazed espresso (right) from Revolve. Gl. espresso has reddish undertones. If you bag is more of a regular brown then it's mocha.

Oh pooper! It's really hard to tell - it's definintely darker than the picture of the Mocha, but I don't really see the redness in the second picture.

UGH!

Where's GUNG?

IT'S DEF MOCHA!! Glazed Espresso has lots of texture.. This is is the Mocha and while it is very Glossy it doesn't have a thick glaze like the G. Espresso has.

Mocha is a very deep brown, no light whatsoever. It's a gorgeous color imo!!

Default Help Me Identify This Bag!
Hi ladies.. I thought I start a thread so everyone had a place to go if they needed help identifying a color/ style/ lining etc..

Forgive me if this thread is already started but I haven't been able to find one.

I'll start:

Here a bag on ebay that appears to have both old & new hardware. I'm guessing that one picture is borrowed or something but what struck me as odd is that in the very first picture you can't see any type of zipper pull.. No tassels.. no zipper pull.. nada!! What is up with this bag ladies??

I think it is a glazed emerald with the new hardware. If you look to the far right at the end of the zipper you can barely see the large gold pull though it is really hard to tell without bigger pics.

maybe it was just a sample and that's why they left the tassles off. I've got a sample sale bag (I think) that has both silver and gold hardware.

So do you think all the pictures of the old hardware are just pics of a different bag? You can clearly see the side pictures and it has old hardware.. so im still a bit confused. I should probably ask.

I am guessing that this bag is truley a sample as it appears to have a mix of old & new hardware..

It has all old hardware except a new zipper pull but it also has the newer black & white pattern lining..
I just find it weird that you can't see any kind of zipper pull in the frontal picture!

Yes, I think there is some discussion regarding this one in the post deals thread. The general consensus is that this is truly a sample. That is rather odd about the lack of tassle though. If you're interested, I'd contact the seller about that.

On the left side in the first pic, you can see the new hardware, large square clip. The other side is the plain clip. (Sample or quality control issue? I don't know, maybe some were made with one of each clip, or maybe they just made a bunch with what they had for the sale, it was pretty crazy down there.) There probably is a zipper pull under that flap, you should ask tho. It looks like it is pushed up under it.

I would just ask about each of these things and if you still like it...buy it! :)

As a "new model" is would not have tassels I would presume.
