Hi Saira,

I am confident that this bag is authentic because it appears on Ann's Fabulous Finds, so I am just touching base with you about the color. I'm assuming that the bag is 07 Aquamarine (not 07 Turquoise, as the AFF description claims), because Bal did not make a Turquoise (other than Aquamarine) in 07. Does the color look like Aqua to your experienced eyes?

I'm sorely tempted to grab this Day, but I am so far standing strong because I also have a 2005 Teal Day and a 2012 Lagon Day, and I think that I don't need another Day in this color family, despite the rareness and beauty of the Aquamarine. Sigh.

Thanks for your wisdom and expertise!
 
Hi - please help me identify the color/season of this bag - it's my Mom's bag that she bought from the Balenciaga boutique which I would love to find for myself. Thank you!!

Hey there! I don't know. Yep, it could be 05 teal. I don't see the green or saturated color of aquamarine. I'm on my phone now, but will check in the morning.

Thank you! I will appreciate hearing your thoughts. I agree that the photos of the bag on AFF don't show the greenish cast that I've noticed on photos of Aquamarine bags here on TPF. I guess the giveaway will be the contrasting stitching, etc.
 
Here's another photo. Thank you.

Edited photo. I thought this photo would be enough since it has all of the identifying numbers on it?

The numbers on the back of the tag only tell you the style, not the color. That's why I needed to see a full picture of the bag. Also, the hardware will also give me clues, the strap, etc. This is 2012 gris poivre.

After painstaking deliberation, I am going to agree with AFF and say that it is 07 Aquamarine. Here's the photo that makes it conclusive. Post 4. http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga-colors-by-season/2007-spring-141746.html
