Hi
the style was commonly referred to as "The Purse"...I can't remember when it was discontinued, but it was early like 06-07...so this looks like the Magenta 05 "Purse"...it's a pretty awesome style!! (I'm sure Saira knows exactly when!! [emoji6])

Hi
Thanks for the info! AND one more- If that is the "purse" then i'm wondering about this other bag, it is being called a "Purse" also. Thanks for letting me pick your brain. I'm new to Bbags, and learning every day.

Someone has the measurements wrong. They are both the "purse" style from what I can tell. The second link definitely is 05 magenta. The first link takes me to Tradesy and I am not a member so I cannot see all of the photos. The purse style was discontinued in 2006. The measurements for a purse are 10.5"h x 15"w, 7" handle drop.

Hi
It was discontinued in 2006, it was made from 2004-2006.
OK, I asked them both to recheck measurements and they said they were correct, I guess it doesn't matter, my thoughts were that they both looked authentic, one is rectangular and one is shovel-shaped. so I didn't think they were the same bag, but possibly same year and color, different styles. Thanks so much!
Hi Goldendoodle,
They are the same style for sure. The reason they look different is the way they are photographed. The one on Tradesy is standing up and probably used/slouchy, the one on eBay is laying flat and looks new. Because Bal bags are so slouchy, it is not at all uncommon for measurements to vary; few people will actually take the time to look up the "official" measurements of the bag, some will measure from different starting to ending points, etc.
On the resale market you have to do your own due diligence--many times people will list bags under the most common term they know like "City" even though it's a Day or a Purse or or a First, etc. I'm 100% with Saira though, they are both "Purses" (and VERRRRY pretty!)
Hi! Can you help me identify what color this is?
I know it's a 2006, and from what I've read re: tags, possssibly a fall/winter? But beyond that I don't know:
The front is pretty faded
Back is richer
Mirror color
Edge color is a warmer reddish tone
And tags
Thanks for helping me solve the mystery!!

Hi, can you post the actual photos? This link requires you to be logged in to view the pictures. I do not want to venture a guess with one photo because it looks like the bag is faded.
Well here is the same bag on another website. Can you see the pictures here without logging in? I am thinking it's Anthracite but not sure which year or if there is a way to tell by the serial number.

Its 09 anthra, I believe, but I would have to see the back of the inside tag to be sure.
