Holy Moly was that fast!
I agree. The color low and highlights actually give it some interest. But still tempering my excitement given how badly I've been duped by FP's photography before.
In the first three photos the color does look more brownish red, like my pickstitch, but redder like the FP photos in the last shot. By comparison, the FP photos generally look artificially juicified, as per usual. We shall see.
I saw that this morning and thought the same thingElectric Bleu Twiggy? Looks hella painted, especially the corners, but I have a well documented paranoia about painted bags, so thoughts welcome. "Never worn" my a$$$. Those handles are not fresh.

The mirror and tassels look to be completely different color as the rest of the bag
At first I thought maybe they had the corners done, but the whole bag looks different
Since I added it to my Favorites, they sent me an offer which I declined
Now I see they’ve lowered their price for 48 hrs
... so, did someone here get the very-loved Anis (or Pistachio?) WE on eBay this morning? hehe

Missed this one, but love how the handles on many of the oldies escaped that dreaded darkening. Seems like pre 05s were mostly exempt.... so, did someone here get the very-loved Anis (or Pistachio?) WE on eBay this morning? hehe

Looks like it’s been carried for sure. I don’t think it’s dyed. So often have seen mirrors etc., shifting color less than the body of a bag. Blues, yellows even black seems to lean greener with age. Just my two cents.Electric Bleu Twiggy? Looks hella painted, especially the corners, but I have a well documented paranoia about painted bags, so thoughts welcome. "Never worn" my a$$$.

I agree with you on bags having different leathers. My grape Day post today demonstrates this, where the leather around the outside zipper pocket and middle two studs is obviously different and darker than the leather on the rest of the bag. It's just that the leather on the corners on the twiggy look too saturated and flat to me. But I admit I over-see painted leather left and right.Looks like it’s been carried for sure.

Either way, it sold. Hope I'm wrong and it has squishy soft untouched leather.

Zoom in on the handles & the inside liner
Maybe they had the corners repaired, but I agree, overall the bag looks a different color than these photos show
I see Deco's point about the corners for sure. I guess I don't pay much attention to corner patching. But it is not a happy thought that the bag is being sold as never carried, when clearly it has been. We absolutely have to trust a selling partner when buying from on-line photos. We are all of us here willing to throw caution to the winds, probably a bit too often. 
@Deco is this like your gold/green/shiny city?
