I'm not really familiar with the men's styles so I can provide you much help. In terms of the tag, I don't think it coincides with the 2009 tag. I have to do some more research and get back to you.

Thanks saira, don't spend any time on this, I know how much time you already spend here! We've discussed this bag in the past and I guess I'll just have to not know exactly what it is...RDC has the same bag in vert fonce listed as a 2009 and it has the same tag numbers, I'll keep researching to see if the same numbers were used for successive years (Peacebabe said she saw a 2010 with the same 223409 number). Thanks again for everyone's help!

Added note: Just found a 2011 sale on deluxemall (know nothing about them) that shows what they say is a brand new men's 2011 day with 223409 tag. Be interested to know what year they started using that number, looks like 2009-2011 at least.

:wave: muchstuff,

Just wanna offer my 2 cents worth on Men's Day (I'm in love with my Men's Day :loveeyes:. But only the earlier edition :p)

Model number 141175, if i'm not wrong, started in 2005 till S/S 2008. And i believed it's the 1st edition of Men's Day. It comes with adjustable bucket strap, fastened at both side of the bag. (I think you saw it in my thread). Long tassels, just like the "classic" style

From F/W 2008, modification has been done. E.g. studs at bottom front corners, strap has been changed (same as what you are wearing), tassels are also different (shorter, with stitching in the centre)

And i believed from 2012, some changes were made again. Strap is "punched hole" style. I didn't researched more as im only interested in the 1st edition.

I hope my reply helps. Will be very interested to know if you have new find! ;)

Thanks peacebabe, that seems to be what I'm finding as well. The tag numbers did change again in 2012, and, like you, I'm interested in the older ones. I prefer the strap I have on mine to the earlier one...still stumped a bit re: year and colour, if I'm in the 2009-2011 year period the leather on mine is agneau but as I said much softer than the 2009 women's Day I have. I don't know if it's dark enough to be charbon...

Hello, im not surprised to hear that your 2009 Men's day leather feels different from your Day. Well, that just explained that different patch of leather is used. I used to owned a 2012 Cumin which i really dislike as the leather felt dry & papery. However, i ve heard many who owns 2012 Cassis, which leather is think & chewy. Even for Chevre, it's documented that some are smooth, some are "puffy" & wrinkly type

Leather are not man made, so it's natural to see variation ;)

Makes sense that no two are alike. Re: colour though, we don't know for sure by the tag numbers if its a 2009, 2010, or 2011. Based on the swatches on the PF site the ones that it most closely resembles is either the 2009 F/W pre-season or F/W main collection charbon, or the 2010 S/S pre-season castagna. If it was the 2010 that might explain the softness of the leather, I've read it was a pretty good year. (Based on effen haute's swatches it looks like the F/W 2009 noix, but I believe saira thought it was too dark to be noix). I think that's the closest we'll ever get to knowing...do love the bag though, it's a great style to carry!

The men's style colors do not always track the women's styles so someone would really have to know the men's collection.

I agree with you Saira. I do believe Men's range may not follow the color chart to.

It's so frustrating & irritating isn't it? When you wanted to know what you are holding so much! :p
