This is from 2010. The leather would be Agneau. It may be hard to find a mirror that goes with the bag. I'm not even sure if it comes with one. Maybe someone else can chime in?

Hi Saira. I assumed it had a mirror because all the Giant Chic Box bags I've seen on ebay had one. Maybe they're more recent? No tassels though (they dont come with giant hardware I read).

Do you think I can find a black mirror from another Bal style? Sorry for the dumb question, I'm very new to Bal bags.

Thank you again!

Hi Saira,
I'm planning to purchase this bag but before I hit the "pay" button, since I haven't seen it in person, can you please tell me if the purple is more to the reddish hue or the blue side of purple?
Please... I would very much appreciate your assistance. I love the bag but for the cost, I want a purple shade that is similar to grape juice, like the 07 Sapphire or 08 Violet, I would rather not buy it if it favors the raisin color.

Thank YOU very much! :flowers:

Hi, this is 2013 Ultra violet. I have never seen it in person so I can't be sure. I know it will definitely be a much brighter purple thank raisin, sapphire and violet. I don't think it will be the dark grape juice you are looking for. Check with forum for people who have posted their uv bags. I think there are a few in the celebrity forum as well.

Thank you very much!
And let me say that was lightning fast! :doggie:

Yes, I believe Ultra Violet will be a little too bright for an entire bag, for me.
I have a wallet in UV and it's nice but only in small doses. :laugh:

Thanks again for your very quick reply & sage wisdom! :heart:

Anytime! I think you would really like dark violet. That seems to be what you are looking for.

What year was the Dark Violet if I may ask? Did you mean the 07 Violet?
And did they do a Velo or Crossbody in that?

I have a city in Sapphire and it's lovely but I have my heart set on a Velo or something with a long strap.

Thank you again.. :heart:

I think dark violet may have been a limited edition. It came out in 2012 I believe and had gold g21 hardware. I seem to recall silver as well. I think it came in the below as well. Let me do some digging!

Oh good, glad you found one. Meant to say that it comes with g12 hardware, not g21. Good luck with your search!

I promise this will be the last time I bother you today. :smile1:

I found this one and the tag says 2012, it is a Velo and she lists as Dark Violet..

Is that correct? It looks more raisin to me but if it is the D V then I think I found one!
Thank you again for all the time you've spent helping me. :heart:

No worries. I'm glad to help. Raisin is from 2009 and the velo wasn't introduced until 2010. This is most likely DV, but I'd like to see the back of the tag to be sure. I think there was a LE DV with the gold hardware, but then I think it was also produced with silver and rh the same time. Hope that helps.

Thanks a million Saira!
You are an invaluable asset to this forum! I truly mean that!
You saved me from a terrible mistake. If I had bought the first Velo from this morning (The Ultra Violet) I would have been very upset! It looks so much different on the computer- The colors just don't translate accurately on the monitor.

I've sent the seller a message about this last bag and asked her to confirm it is indeed the DV from 2012.
Thank you so much for all of your time & effort. :heart:
I hope you enjoy the remainder of your day. :smile1:
