@yuzulife I believe that dark violet is the one @Deco returned due to "colour enhancement" in the listing.
Muchy is correct. That was the DV I returned. The color was not deep and saturated like in the photos. It also had no gloss or shine to it, which tends to mute the color, unlike my glossy, screaming deep purple DV velo that set my expectations too high.

Of all the later Bal purples, DV comes closest to 04 Eggplant in color (not leather), though still not quite there. Eggplant is impossibly deep, rich and saturated even without the color boost from gloss.

Is that this one which showed sold

And it has serial number for blueberry ? Did they send you a different bag ? Woaaa
Yes, it was that one!

I was so sure it'd be Blueberry (eta: OK, I thought 2006 Blueberry!) as well, but...

If it looks like a duck,

swims like a duck,

and quacks like a duck,

then it probably is a duck isn't 2006 Blueberry.

Sorry, trying to make light of the idea that it's Canard (French for "duck") instead of Blueberry, ahaha.

... beautiful bag, but just a lil too much when I was hoping for something smooshy and squishy!

(ETA: "O" isn't SS is it... so it isn't even Canard, is it?)
O is F/W 2010 so that should be Bleu Roi

Bleu Roi is F/W 2006 and W, no?

ETA: OHHHH, I'm totally not with it for post-2007 bags and tags... and I did not include FW 2010 in my colour chart graphic. 😅😂

In my defence, I thought it was really weird that there was a colour code on it tbh.

Thanks, gotcha! I thought that it was 2006 Bleu Roi.

Steering clear of bags that do not have a clear photo of the front and back of tag now, aha.

Again, thought it was odd that there was a colour code, but... glad that they accept returns.
Is 2010 a bad Bleu Roi? I love all these French color names…lol. I think it’s kind of pretty! Rebag said it was in Fair condition, looks a bit better than that or no?

yes I figured it was a confusion in years....beautiful bag though...well, off I go wait for my grenat or bordeaux to appear out of blue (in my dreams perhaps)

... just double check the tag. :lol:

(I say that as a joke to my lunacy/having gotten caught up in not questioning why 2006 would have a colour code and knowing that you are a true OG Bal gal!)
