Saira, could you tell us which Magenta it is. I compared it to my 2005 and it looks different, but you can see better through the fading, lighting... ;)



:smile1: I think it will be safe to wait for second opinion. Magenta fades in funny shades, this one looks nothing like my 2005, but the colours were so similar.

Ah okay. It has definitely faded but I could have sworn it was an '05, ha.

edit: Looking up my history from when I bought it, definitely '05. Thanks for all your help, though!

It does look like a faded 05 magenta. The reason I ask for a full picture of the bag is to see those types of variances, i.e. fading, and other subtle changes that Bal has made over the years. I can't make those determinations just based on the tag. Thanks for posting the additional photo.

Thank you! I would have never guessed Anthra on the one listed as khaki!!!!! I don't know if I want an anthra, might be too dark for me...

Anthra is a chameleon color with a grey base, but can have blue or green undertones depending on the year and leather variation. Anthra can be light or dark, but if you are looking for a straight steel grey bag, your best bet is Gris Tarmac.

Yes, a straight up steel grey bag is what I want... Problem is, in my search for it I come across other colors that make me go "oooh I want that one too!". 😩 so far I've ended up with a Rose Thulian when i was searching for a straight up red and a Greige when I was searching for a straight up steel grey. Oh well. They're happy little detours. 😝
