Thank you, wow, it is really huge! And with the GH I am sure it is heavy too…
It is massive. I feel like I need to climb in and sit in it. But it's not all that heavy, though it will be if you fill to capacity. It fits over the shoulder. I love mine, but only use it when I need to carry a lot, and not just on weekend errands or date night. I love the massive expanse of leather on this.

Any thoughts on this? This color is too good to be true, and nothing like the interior leather tag, which usually is much richer and better preserved than the outside color. Have the photos been manipulated, or has this been dyed? If the photos accurate depict the color, I'd be all over this in a heartbeat. But not if the color is more like the interior tag.

It's exhausting trying to figure out the real color these days. In the olden days (as my daughter likes to call it), all cameras were crappy and if anything they undersold the beauty and complexity of Bal colors. Nowadays there's so much manipulation, I've lost count of how many bags I've had to return because it looked nothing like the enhanced photos.

It looks like the 07 grape/violet to me.

Look how glaringly white the glove is. The interior was definitely photographed with flash. All other photos look pretty "un-flashy". Never seen sapphire, so I don't know how it photographs, but when I look at pics of my Eggplant with and without flash, the colors look extremely different.

Sapphire is a slightly cooler/bluer version of the slightly warmer/redder 07 Grape, but they're generally pretty similar. It's easy to mistake the two.
 
I missed the mirror. :facepalm: It does look dark for sapphire but whether that’s just the lighting I don’t know.

I asked about the color and seller confirmed it had been dyed.
 
I knew it ! Good to have an honest seller and also know what to ask :smile:
The fact that many of these Japan-based sellers provide free roundtrip shipping and no questions asked refunds keeps them honest. Much cheaper to level with me now than have me buy it and return it at their cost.
