Hello! I have contacted the seller and she had no idea which year the bag belongs to. I also tried my best to find out which season the colour is from, but I failed. I do need your help. Please identify the colour of this Day bag for me. Thank you very much.

It would be pre F/W 2008, as the pockets on the back of the mirror were discontinued then according to info on a PF thread, but I'm sure one of the lovely Bal experts will weigh in with more info for you, gorgeous colour BTW
"PICS OF FW 08 CHANGES: MIRROR, SILVER TAG, ANYTHING ELSE?" is the thread in the reference library that mentions the change.

I'm an absolute rookie...there are many of the PFers who help out all of us learners on a regular basis. A shout out to all of them! :urock:
Hello Saira, (again, I'm afraid so soon!)
This was just authenticated by peacebabe--who recommended you, as this MU clutch is advertised as Nacre which should be from 2010, but I do not see the Nacre color on any of the color charts in our references; however, there seems to be credible references to this 2010 Nacre color here in our forums on out on the internet. Can you confirm or identify the color here please? thanks very much--your help is greatly appreciated. I should receive it in a day or so. TIA.
(if it is most likely not Nacre and indeed another color from after 2010 I may want to return it when i receive it).

Hmmmm. Nacre is from 2010 and is more like a mother of pearl color. It is a white with pink undertones. I'm on my phone and see more pink than white. I think this is 2010 Boise de rose.
Thanks very much Saira! I will see IRL if the photo is a good representation, hopefully not...rats, I hope its not too pink--at least BDR is not post-2010! You've been most helpful and as always amazing!
p.s. I found an old quote from you in 2010 on how perplexing Nacre is! #69

Yes, the pics on the forum--the color looks white and sometimes it looks lt. pink/lav. will hopefully be delighted either way!
Thanks!

I'm baaack.. 
I bought one! I hope the color will be close to what I want but there is a return policy (whew) in case it's too blue.
It looks so much like the Dark Violet! I almost hope they made a mistake & labeled it incorrectly as in I want the Dark Violet.
It was listed as a Velo with G 12 Gold hardware and the color as Crocus.
I'll ad a couple pics.
Saira could you verify this color and if it will be a purple with blue undertones? Please. Or is it going to be mostly blue?
Thank you very much!
It's late & I'm off to dreamland but I wanted to post this before I head to bed.

You will be pleased because it is indeed dark violet. Crocus is more of a purple-blue and does not come with gold g12 hardware. Congrats and let me know your thoughts when you get it!
