Hello again!

I have finally received the bag today. Here are the additional photos including the rivet for your reference. Hoping opinion about authenticity would not change.

Thank you! ❤️

I just looked up light Olive and if that is the same one then I'll be sadly disappointed. The pics of this bag in the listing looks so much brighter and saturated that it's hard to believe it's light Olive. I know lighting can affect the color seen on the monitor vary but the color difference just seems way too drastic, right?

i can only guess that the bag faded and they enhanced the pics, as it does not look like anything valid (as far as the chart stands)

Yoogi's stuff is always underlit but yes, there's a big difference. Any ideas on what you think it could be?

Hi! I just saw your conversation and thought this might help. There was a limited edition Lime Green in 2010. https://www.yoogiscloset.com/handbags/balenciaga-lime-lambskin-leather-motorcycle-city-bag.html Maybe that could be it?

Thank you for your reply
Can advise color of the bag?
The color on bag is black but the serial number doesn't end with 1000
Thought black is 1000
Maybe it had been recolor?

back then not all bags had the colour code, yours looks absolutely fine, don't worry

Hmmm, interesting. FP has another one that they don't mention as a limited colour, same green, same colour code. I think it may just be a colour that was missed off of the charts? OP's bag has rose gold HW and I don't know as they'd make a limited colour with various hardware choices but that's just surmise. Without seeing the tag back on the rose gold bag we'll never know for sure but it could be the same green.

thank you!! but it's not the same green

Doesn't look the same ksuro but who knows what difference the lighting is making? The lighting on the rose gold could be a lot warmer? Zipper tape looks the same colour. But the rose gold does look like a warmer colour. Guess we'll never know for sure. Pretty coincidental that there's another green from 2010.
