Hello Bal peeps, I've seen this bag a bunch lately and have scoured the archives but haven't found any info on it yet. It's a double compartment bag with openings on both sides. Perhaps someone can shed some light - what year is it from, what collection, etc? Hope so!
Hi Saira!
It's me again :giggles: I fell in love with the Purse style, and got myself a second one. I asked the seller what color this was and what year it was from, and he/she was not sure, though he/she did say it was olive from what he/she knew.
I would like to confirm if this is indeed olive? If it isn't, what color and from what year would it be? I tried taking shots with different lighting and camera settings - it was difficult to capture the exact color in a shot. It does look like an olive in real life, but I am not sure if it is THE Bal Olive.
Do let me know if you need a shot under sunlight? It's already night time here and no sunlight left, but if you need a shot under sunlight, I can try taking one tomorrow morning/afternoon.
Thanks in advance!

Weird that the seller said it is olive. It looks grey to me. I'm not sure if it is 04 or 05 though.
Thank you for the quick response, Saira! I took some more pictures under sunlight (well, by our window's sunlight). Do let me know if the bag still looks grey under this light. It's been really hard capturing the color of this particular bag (even more so than other colors I have). IRL, I see how it could seem olive to the seller, but not sure if I'm just seeing some green undertones of the grey. If it still looks grey to you under this light, then I am sure it is grey as you say. While I liked my seller, I trust your expertise when it comes to Bal colors more (of course). I took a closer photo of the handle and top of the bag, in case that might be more reflective of the original color of this bag (in the event it might have faded already).
If it is grey though, it's just too bad for me... I thought I had just bought my first green Bal :giggles:
Thank you again for taking the time to look!

Hello! is there a reference page for colors by number? Does anyone know the name for color 5120? Thanks

I FINALLY got to take pictures which I feel are truest to the color IRL.
Here they are, Saira! Thank you again for taking the time to look at these.
Sorry for the multiple posts - it was really just so hard to capture the color.Attachments

Of course! Glad to help.
these photos are better. my other thought is that it is Dolma, which is a lighter grey/green. I can kind of see that in the photos, or maybe vert thyme. Does that seem more accurate IRL?
Of course! Glad to help.
Wasn't Vert Thyme from 2008???

It is, yes.
I'm on vacation in Greece and checking in occasionally. Not really thinking. It is most likely 2005 Dolma.It is, yes.
OMG Greece
Enjoy your holiday On my screen it looks grey, nothing like Dolma . And zipper looks grey as well, not greenish.
Maxxout mentioned it looks exactly like few of her 2005 grey bags so maybe it is an answer
I'm so interested in this bag because I'm the looser who lost in bidding war to Maice
It is, yes.
Greece! Lovely! Enjoy!
I thought you were here in Chicago right now - Greece sounds AMAZING. Thank you for taking the time to respond despite being on holiday!OMG Greece

You are too funny, Sssy!
Have you checked my latest batch of pictures in post 7538? Does it still look grey to you? I'm really hoping it's Dolma or Olive :giggles: Again, I love it regardless of what the color "technically" is!Hi! does anyone know what color 5120 is? it's a purple color! just not sure of the official name. tia
