Identify this Balenciaga

[muchstuff]

I have no business even looking at bags, but I'm really liking this Brogues CGH Besace. Any idea which brown this might be? Charbon? No color code on the tag, but I forgot when Bal started adding those.

Nice bag! I suck at identifying browns, hope someone can help...

My best guess is 2009 Charbon. FW, if you hold a gun to my head.

I clicked buy before I could really look at it. Does this look like Pistachio?

Yes, here’s one on Fashionphile with the same color code as yours https://www.fashionphile.com/p/balenciaga-chevre-classic-hardware-city-pistachio-209688

Just a heads up, color codes didn’t come into play until 2010, so they’re not relevant for this one. I’ve got the same bag and can say with confidence it’s Pistachio based on the color and zipper tape.

Does this look like the gold or rose gold hardware?

Looks like (Anthracite) in rose gold to me, but someone please correct me if it’s not.

Yes. Although no color code.. the "B" tag signifies the F/W 04 season, which is correct for Pistachio.

Any idea which color I'm looking at? I cannot place this one at all. 07 Mer/Ocean? It looks too blue for Anthra, imo. It reminds me a bit of 03 Blue Jean, haha!

It could be Dark Night / Dark Knight. Not sure of the official spelling lol

Mirror has a slip pocket, so it has to be inbetween S/S 07 and S/S 08.

Thanks, I was hoping to hear those words!
Do you still have your Ocean Besace? Would you say the Day is faded or does the color look like this indoors? I could only find two or three photos in the library for comparison. But they all look so different due to lighting.
