Identify this Balenciaga

Would it be possible to have this color identified?

It was sold as a 2007 Cafe, however the cards that came with it were actually for a different bag. I'm thinking it may be Cafe as stated, or maybe Charbon. It's a bit dry and slightly faded so I wanted to get insight before I put leather honey on it, which tends to darken colors.

First two photos are seller pics which were taken in a brighter light. They don't look that washed out to the eye - the bottom of the bag that shows the darker brown is a bit better in terms of depiction.

Looks like you have a gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous Ink City (Spring/Summer 2006) =D What a beautiful bag!

Thanks! :smile1:

Does it mean it's blue? Because the seller told me that the bag is dark purple like Eggplant? She sent me the pictures to my phone (viber) and when I upload it to my laptop I guess the coloring came out a bit different... I'm sorry for the confusion :shame: I've tried my best to edit the pictures so that they will look like the ones on my phone.

Sorry again and hope you can still help me determine the color :p

This one is a little tough for me It may be because it has likely faded. At first, I thought it was 09 Charbon, but it does have some reddish undertones. 07 Cafe seems to have similar undertones when photographed.
 
Thanks! :smile1:

You are so lucky luthienbabe!i have been searching for a girgeous ink like this one!;). Enjoy
 
Please help me date this black Twiggy I bought pre-loved some time ago.


It has extremelly soft and distressed leather (definitelly chevre) and my only clue is that the mirror has the little card-pocket that was discontinued on 2008.

Thanks in advance!ImageUploadedByPurseForum1421881647.363992.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1421881664.875190.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1421881677.726660.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1421881689.640469.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1421881707.414577.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1421881721.788174.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1421881733.318925.jpg
 
Hi Ladies,

Could you please help me ID the color of this bag? Seller told me it was Anthracite, but the lovely ladies on the authenticate forum said it looks like Plomb .

I just want to know for sure because seller told her the SA at the Bal store she got it from said it was Anthra. Now I'm confused.:shrugs:

Thanks for your help!
