Help Me Identify This Bag!

[thedseer]

Thanks ladies for all your help! I did some searching in the threads but I definitely missed that link you posted Kasey--what a beautiful picture! I'm kind of sad to hear it's royal (one of my dream bags!) but darkened royal. When I clicked back on it's selling history on bonz it was once listed by a previous owner as royal--but like you ladies said it looked SO dark that I wasn't sure. I really wanted something a little different than navy. Anyone have any other color recommendations for blue bags? The sky and cobalt OS colors (although lighter colors) appear gorgeous too. If you can't tell...I really want a blue older RM. The search continues!

Thanks again, you ladies are always so helpful!

OS sky blue is gorgeous, though pretty impossible to find - i remember only one popping up in the past few years and it was in terrible condition. but the hunt is fun, and this color would be so worth it if you could track it down!

if you're sold on the OS brass hardware, then i would also recommend royal/brown basketweave. or stonewash blue came in OS silver hardware. it often looks greyish, but looks more blue as it ages and becomes more oily, IMO.

if open to non-OS hardware, there's ocean, pool, and bright royal, off the top of my head.

and if darker blues are okay too, you have even more choices.

Wow, thanks for all the great information. I am open to blue colors and non-os hardware, I just really want an older RM with gorgeous leather-- so if you have any other ideas I'm open. Maybe I'll ask that seller for other pictures to see how dark it is. I just don't want something that's just a plain navy color--but darker blue is okay. I love Ocean, pool is pretty too. The leathers on those delicious as well?

sure, no problem! i actually haven't had many RM blues (i think just one that i returned), but i believe both ocean and night blue were known for having really great leather. hopefully someone who's had a bunch of blues can give you other suggestions

Ocean leather is TDF. It is so soft and pillowy and feels fluffy like a nice Bal.Of all the RM bags I've owned I loved my Ocean Steady's leather the best. I only got rid of that bag because I carried her too much and eventually wore her into the ground.

Pool is a glazed leather so it's more durable but its texture isn't as squeezable.

i'm a little late to the party, but i agree that it's royal. i don't think it's necessarily darkened - there were different versions of royal i believe.



the one here has the paisley lining, so i went on the hunt for other royals, like ones that have the b&w floral lining, to compare

here's this: http://forum.purseblog.com/rebecca-...r-blue-bags-here-pics-369259.html#post8252885 - dark like the listing though i can't tell the lining

and this: http://forum.purseblog.com/rebecca-minkoff/a-royal-reveal-for-your-holiday-503680.html - also a darker royal (and same lining), though perhaps not as dark as the Bonz listing (though it could be the lighting too).

i've never had a royal, so can't speak from first hand experience - just wanted to chime in to show that it had perhaps had not darkened, but was just a different version.

i totally agree with you - even in the same season, for the same color name, on different styles the color can look very different. say for example, Charcoal, the mini MAC looks very grey while the MAC looks kinda brown. as long as you like the color, the name would not be a deal breaker

Yeah, RM is known to use names over and over (and over!) for different colors/bags and seasons. I think that the particular shade of royal is just a little too dark for what I want, I guess I was just looking for some confirmation because I was wanting to know what it was. Trying to keep myself educated on OS RM. I have no interest in any of her new bags. Thanks again for finding that pic for me!

Yeah, even in pictures I've seen, Ocean looks amazing! Pool looks pretty, but I like more of a smooshy bag. I found pictures of OS sky blue and cobalt and think they are both gorgeous colors. I imagine these don't pop up very often! I think I will just have to be patient and wait it out. Even though the bag I posted is royal, I think that version may be a little too dark for what I want right now.

Did you ever do a collection thread? I imagine yours would be amazing?

What is the name of this color and what year was it produced? Nikki in Croco. Thanks!

Yeah, you just have to keep looking and eventually something great will pop up.

I've never done a collection thread because I don't usually have tons of RM bags at the same time. I'm always cycling through them. Also, I'm just too lazy. I prefer taking pictures of individual bags in interesting places.

I sort of wish I'd kept pictures of some of my favorites, though. I did keep this picture of Ocean Steady from E. Washington because it was such a nice picture:

Can anyone help me ID this bag? I just bought it from a seller in the UK. I'm guessing it's from Summer to Fall 2009, but I had taken a hiatus from RM around then and so I don't know how long or for what seasons this lining was used. I've looked around and was thinking that this could be fawn or almond, but that's as much as I have been able to figure out. TIA!

I remember this pic, uadjit - I still think this pic is my favorite RM bag action shot!
