2007 Work giant blue glacier 173080 D941G 4971

 
wow. this is a very interesting thread. I always wanted to know if anywhere denotes the actual bag COLOUR though.

I don't think anywhere on the tags do....?


In the tag that reads : 173084 D941G 1000
173084 ==> style code (city, work, etc)
D941G ==> hardware code ( G= gold, T= regular, N=silver)
1000 ==> color code (1000 = black, white = 9069, etc)
 
I've always thought the last group of numbers on the card refer to leather batch id... I've noticed that bags with the same numbers would have exactly the same leather and shade of color.
 
I just bought a whitish Day off ebay. The seller stated the colour was 'Blanc' but it's not a snow white, more of an off white colour.
