Boxermom, hovercraftier, is that pink called scala? If not, what color is scala? I have seen people calling it scala. Maybe it's a different pink? It's hard to see the true color in the pictures.

the pink she's selling is called Quarzo. Scala is a darker red, with some pink and some brown in it. Here's a picture of Scala from a post of Megs' (pic is from Saks) awhile back:
http://www.purseblog.com/hobos/bottega-veneta-woven-trapezoidal-hobo/ . IIRC there was some debate about whether Saks' pic was accurate, when I've seen Scala in person it looks different under different light.

Here's a pic of Quarzo from Bluefly, it's more of a true pink:

Boxermon, regarding caitlyn's sloan bag, I looked at the authenticity tag carefully and I saw that the tag looks a bit transparent, ie, we can faintly see the serial numbers from the back side of the tag. Is it normal for BV bags? But the perforation on the sides looks fine. I checked with my BV items and the tags were not so thin for you to see the numbers from the underside. Does that give any sign regarding authenticity?

Good question, dolphingirl. None of the tags on my BV's are at all transparent, so I don't know the answer. Mine almost have a paper-y feel to them. Maybe they are changing the material they use for the tags? I can't keep up. Or the other explanation is that it's a fantastic knock-off BV. Without actually holding it and looking it over, all we can do is make our best guess.

Oh my, I didn't know it would just disappear!!:wtf: There was a post by a new member who joined tPF today about some dispute on eBay and promoting another site, which he/she also posted in the H forum (the exact same post). So I reported it to the Mods. Now it looks like I'm bashing against nothing...:cry: Oh well, at least BookerMoose knows what it was all about. Thanks BM!!:flowers:

I knew you wouldn't report a post without reason, Mid-. Curiosity made me ask about it.

wow, hovercraftier, thank you for posting. IMO, scala is even prettier than quarzo. I have never seen scala IRL. I should start searching for something this color. Does anyone know if it's still available in any boutique?
