Usually pictures in the daylight without flash are the closest to real colour. Is zipper fabric greenish?
I think it doesn't matter what colour is your bag. It is lovely and leather looks great :smile1:
P.S. I supposed to be away from our lovely forum for a while, but your bag keeps me coming back. Naughty bag :roflmfao:

You are too funny, Sssy! :laugh: 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!

I thought the same thing! I can tell you that the pictures I posted in post 7538 are the closest to real-life though. The fabric looks military-greenish to me, bordering on grey. Arghhhh! :p


Again, I love the bag regardless of what color it "technically" is. I'll wait for Saira to give the final verdict, and accept my fate :laugh:


P.S. My bag is apologizing to you... but also saying hi. Haha! Bag is tempting you to keep coming back, after all! This one is a bit naughty, methinks :graucho: A perfect contrast to her daintier, very lady-like pale pink sister :giggles:

I haven't forgot you. I just haven't been at a computer to look at the photos through a different monitor. If you are seeing green in the bag, it could be Dolma. I just identified a dolma twiggy above this post. Maybe you can compare your bag to that? Otherwise, I'll take a look when I get home in a few days. :)

I compared it with the one you identified as Dolma, plus another eBay listing mentioned as being Dolma. I think it COULD be... but you know how tricky Bal colors are ;) I'm secretly hoping it's either Dolma or Olive or something similar, but I really wouldn't mind if it's grey.


I'll just wait for you to get back... I'm not sure I trust myself in identifying the color, especially since I'm biased. :p No rush, no pressure. I'll gladly wait ;) Let me know if you need more pics.


Enjoy your holiday, and thank you for taking the time to respond! :D

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! :D

I'm pretty sure this is dolma. The zipper tape matches other Dolma bags as well. 04 grey has blue-ish zipper tape and 05 grey is straight up grey. The green may have faded a bit on yours or is not coming through in photos, but it is consistent with the greeni-ish/grey/vintage green/sage description of Dolma. The most telling is the veining on the bag. That is consistent with all Dolma bags. Congrats, it's gorgeous! I am a huge green fan and am now on the hunt. :)

Thank you Saira. Do you think the dolma color looks very faded? I never see dolma IRL so it's really difficult for me to tell.
Also, I'm wondering what color is this twiggy?

Thank you

Dolma is a color that is meant to look vintage, so generally it looks faded. I personally like that effect. As for for the other bag, the lighting is making it look brighter so I can't see the true color of the bag. I think it can be 2005 navy, 2006 blueberry, 07 ocean or 2007 marine. I'm not sure though because of the lighting.
