Identify this Balenciaga

Hope you don't mind me sticking my nose in here. The Pourpre got my attention.

My opinion, the best deep, true burgundy is F/W 05s Bordeaux. If you can find one in decent condition, I think the leather and color were pretty consistently beautiful.

I agree. 😍

I'm an oldies lover so 05 burgundy or 06 grenat. Casis is also a good alternative and probably easier to find. 05 rouge theater if you want it a bit lighter.

Here's a pristine '05 Rouge Theater

Oops! Here she is! I have a Grenat, but she is sleeping in my closet and I am in bed. I can post a pic if you want later today. The leather on the Grenat is to die for!

Gorgeous! Even though I have a 05 Bordeaux and 04 True Red, I still want a 05 RH RT.

I lucked out! I want an older black Bal in pristine condition. One if the TPF girls had one for sale when I bought this bag. I ran out of money though. I wish I had a money tree...

Thank you Saira and everyone else that chimed in. I think I will refine my search for 05 Bordeaux or 06 grenat. Hopefully I can find one in great condition! The only ones I've seen have very dark handles and cracked piping.

Yes cracked piping is my new deal breaker.

You don't want to consider Cassis? The color is a tad lighter but it is much easier to find.

I feel like cassis is too berry pink and not very bordeaux like? All the photos ive seen dont look like the deep wine color of bordeaux or grenat. Its more of a pink wine than a red one to me. Also this may seem silly but all colors after 2011 dont interest me :sweat:

Has one one seen a serial # like this and is the color Cassis?

Mine looks different but mine is a City.

Thanks Catash I have never seen a serial number like that.

Do you have any more pictures? Ideally I'd like to see the full bag as well as different angles and features. That helps me to determine the color. From this pic alone, it may be Cypress, but I can't be sure.

The Grenat leather is to die for, like a baby's bottom!

Thanks! I hope it looks as good IRL as I see it from the pics.. Will try to post pics when I get the bag. I have a cassis and i think, a pourpre.. will do a comparison pic too.
