08 city color help

[lindsey76]

Hi, looking at a s/s 2008 "T" tag city but I can't tell if it's black or anthracite. The color charts don't show anthra on the s/s one, only on the f/w of 2008. Is it possible to be an anthra with a "T" tag? Thanks!

What are the numbers on the other side of the plate? The leather side?

I think 2010 was the first year for colour codes.

If you want to post pics of the entire bag we can make a guess, it could just be a slightly faded black?

Light's way too warm, it would be easier with an out of doors pic.

I thought so from the tag but the pics of the bag itself aren't helpful enough to say.

Yeah the pics are in difficult lighting..maybe it's very faded. Would an older anthra ever have black zipper tape?

I don't think you can even say reliably that the zipper tape is black here, at least I can't. Can you ask for pics in better lighting? I'm assuming you have a pic of the tag front so you're sure on the year/season?

I already bought it, needs some work but was a good deal so I'll see when it arrives. Thank you for looking at it! Part of my question is being a T tag when I look at the s/s 08 color chart there is only black no anthracite, so would it even be possible to be something besides black? Or was anthracite produced in seasons where it's not listed?

We know that some years aren't complete where the colour charts are concerned and I don't know if the US colour charts would encompass colours made for different countries. So, hard to say IMHO.
