My gut says no, it isn’t painted. If it was, they did a great job because imo matching Bleu Lavande is a tough feat. It could just be recently conditioned. My BL first was beautifully saturated in color, but the leather was very dry. Could be the same thing here?

I echo this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a First (not a City)? If so, the measurements listed are incorrect. Just something to keep in mind @houseof999 if you are considering purchasing.

You're correct, it is a First. I have learned not to trust what sellers list the items as. Thank you though! I AM interested in this size more than the City as this is smaller.

Do you guys think this is a repainted/relaced 03 White First (or Mastic)?
I thought it was fake at first, but it appears to have a longer shoulder strap (I suppose it could still be fake with a long strap)

The leather just looks too flat and I don't think thats the original color of 03 white laces

It does seem painted, but I'm not 100% on that (color seems way too bright white), but the hardware looks brass to me. The split tassels also make me think it's 2005-2006ish.

I thought 03 White or Mastic because the strap looks longer and I can’t see any rivets (the HW also looks silver on my screen and they describe it as “Antique Silver”)
