Found out why I couldn't find this color in this style. It never existed. The bag was repainted. It was originally grey/taupe or whatever the actual color name was for that general color. I'm trying to see what they'll do about a return since I couldn't discern this from the photos they provided.
If it was repainted, it's obviously Not As Described and the value has been hugely reduced. If they - whoever "they" are, it would be nice to know! - didn't disclose the repainting they should take it back AND refund your shipping charges too. I hope you paid with a credit card or Paypal. There shouldn't even be any question of them giving a refund if the seller and selling site are legitimate.
Please post the actual link to the site or listing where you bought it, not just a photo of the purse. And when asking for opinions about identification or authenticity, ALWAYS post the site and listing URLs and details. Your original post didn't give us any useable or searchable information, if you had posted actual links we might have actually been able to help a little more. There was nothing in your photo or post that even told us the style number or where it was bought. Please provide more details, or there's nothing we can do to help or advise you.

I apologize, I wasn't trying to be intentionally vague. The photo I posted was supposed to be a direct link to the item on Thredup.com. It just seemed to go through as an image for some reason. I was unable to check the style number since they did not provide a photo. They guarantee authenticity (and I wasn't questioning that aspect and have bought many from them before), so I wasn't concerned about that since I knew they would take a return if that was in question. In the end it was cheap, and I've learned from my mistake.
A misdescribed item isn't only for authenticity. If an item was altered, dyed, or changed in a significant way, that's SNAD too.
Yeah, I've sent a message to thredup's c/s. They've been good in the past when I had a misdescribed item, so I don't think I will have to fight.
I don't understand why you aren't able to post a link to the listing from which you purchased that bag.
I tried to do an image search for the bag and the only sites that are coming up for that image are sites that sell fake LV bags.
Is there a way to search Thredup for sold listings?
It's not that I'm not able, it's just not as easy through mobile. You can't search sold listings on the site. I can post when I get to a computer. I really didn't mean for this to become a big issue. I just came back to clarify my first post since the color doesn't exist.
Here's the original:

I know it's risky buying from these sites with so few photos, but for the low price I figured I'd take a chance especially since they take paypal. The handles should have tipped me off in retrospect, but I wasn't sure if it was a metallic thing with weird lighting. I expect I'll hear from them after the weekend.
Perhaps I'm dense....Is thredup a consignment site? Or do individual sellers post their items?
Had you posted here first, we probably wouldn't have advised you to purchase unless you got a picture of the creed (at the very least) because based on the pictures in the listing, it's impossible to even authenticate it.
Yes, it's consignment. They buy outright in most cases but they do consign higher end items. I understand I would have been advised not to purchase. I've purchased many bags from them in the past with no issues. For a low price (under $75 ) I'm usually willing to take a small risk. Half of my collection came from horrible listings including my vachetta Caroline.
All I came here to clarify initially was the color. In the end, it's really not a huge deal.
Definitely not a Kristen as it is way too early for that. I think it is probably from the 90s Lightweight collection which is not my favorite leather to work on. It sure is cute though.
