Hi Saira :) Is it a little possibility that it is Canard? Sorry for being pita.

It looks like this one

http://www.fashionphile.com/balenciaga-agneau-giant-city-canard-30542

And the colour number is correct for Canard. Sorry again, but I'm trying to learn from you :smile1:


I also thought it was canard and you are not being a pita at all. It is difficult for me to tell the difference between anthra and canard in photos. In person, no problem. The way i usually can tell is with threading and piping. The link that I posted shows how canard has teal piping. I wonder why the fashionphile one doesn't? Yes, the tag code did bug me, but in some instances I have found them to be inconsistent, so I thought this was one of them. If the tag matches Canard, Canard it must be. I haven't been on my game this week. :(

Thanks Saira for not kicking me out of here ;) The link you posted got me thinking- the last post shows picture of a wallet with, and without flash. It looks like 2 different colours- another very tricky colour to capture. I hoped you had a secret way to tell apart Anthra and Canard from a picture ;)

;). Yes, Canard is a very difficult color to capture. I had one once and the description is very much like Anthra. A grey/blue with some green undertones. I have had an Anthra that was very similar to Canard, but when put side by side, you could see that Anthra was more grey while Canard was more blue. Seems obvious enough, but it is really difficult to tell in photos. The piping is what has helped me to differentiate. Although, Louie's doesn't have that piping and the wallet also doesn't, so it isn't fool-proof. I wonder if it fades over time or what the deal is?

Very confusing :p not to mention a moto jacket in Canard :D:laugh:
 
I saw this bag on a blog and really love the style. Does anyone know what style this is and if it's still made? Not in love with the color, just the style.

It is kind of difficult to tell from this angle. It is not a city bag because I do not see the "rabbit ears" at either side. Other styles do not have the shoulder strap that is on that bag, so I am a little perplexed. I'm not sure of the bag is authentic. The bag seems to be from 2009 and is Tempete if it is authentic.
 
Can someone please help me determine whether this Bal City is in the mogano color? I've tried comparing it to the images found in google and my gut feeling tells me its not mogano but a different shade of brown. The ebay seller is adamant that it is mogano. :wondering

Looks like Mogano. Please post a picture of the silver tag on the inside of the bag to be sure.
