The 2013 Holiday Hamilton is Chevre and Chevre is Goat skin as what i understand ..... But if it's the Ombre range, then it's Calf skin, the year tag will be stated as "veau" if im not wrong ;)

I think she is wanting the typical chevre from 2001-2007/8. This Chevre is more pebbled and hearty than the earlier bags. I don't think they are the same.

It's hard from me to tell. It is either s/s 2011 Praline or f/w 2011 Champagne. The tag photo makes it look like it is Praline, however, the full bag photo looks like Champagne. Praline is a creme color with beige undertones. Champagne is an eggshell white with yellow undertones. Can you tell in person what type of undertones it has? I'm leaning towards Praline based on the tag photo, but your description makes it sound like Champagne.

Hi there saira! Thank you so much for replying quickly! I think it may be praline since the whole bag looks cream in color and has beige-y undertones. Never yellow though.. its so amazing how you can tell right away just by looking at the numbers!

No problem. Unfortunately the numbers don't do much for me, so I have to rely on my eyes to pick up the nuances. :smile1: Hopefully my eyesight stays with me for a long while. lol.

Hi, sorry to interrupt. This City may not be authentic and authenticators from the AT thread may not be able to authentic as well.

Hi Peacebabe. So sorry about that...I actually thought it was real and didnt bother to seek authentication for it...
I am glad you alerted me though, as Ive been sorely tempted to buy it. Anyway, Ive posted it in the AT thread although I might have missed a reason why you cautioned me that authenticators may not be able to authenticate this? Perhaps you can PM me if I shouldnt have done so because i can remove the request...I seriously dont want to pursue an item with even the faintest hint of a red flag. Thanks!

Hello, since you ve not purchased it, i would suggest you pass it & look for another one. It's better to buy something which we are "sure" of, if not you may face problem if you want to sell it in future.

"K" tag bags are the year that very good super fake were produced. They look real but when go into details, somehow, something is off. It's hard to explain, that's also why authenticators at the AT thread prefer not to authenticate it, instead, will ask buyer to go for paid authentication service.

I saw your post in the AT, lets see if there's any comment from other authenticators like Conni or Sssy

That looks so much like 2013 S/S Mauve to me.

A 2nd choice would be a 2011 Fall color - Blue Lavende - I have a little coin pouch in that leather and it looks a lot like that. So hard to tell with those colors though - they photograph so different that they are irl.

Hi could you ladies help me out? I was told that this is a 2010 anthracite with RGH but I compared with other anthracite and mine is really green! For some of the weirdest reasons the green doesnt show up. It's like a dark olive green..
