Thank you Ghost! In the 2002 catalogue you mention, is the colour lilac one of the available shades for the nocturne? I've seen the dinard in lilac in the automne/hiver catalogue for 01/02 but no nocturne. I have a catalogue for this year, and it usually lists the available shades for each bag type.
Yes it is
I do know the lilac was created and discontinued around 2002 or so, and I had read the thread you provided a link to. I didn't see much mention of the nocturne and specifically in lilac, so I figured a new thread would be the best way.
I am pretty certain mine is an authentic, but I want to remove any shadow of a doubt by determining if this bag was made in this colour ever - since with the Hermes Scarves you can tell it's not real if the boutique never manufactured it in the colour you're looking at - speaking from experience!
