Hi Ladies! Could someone please confirm that FP has the color correct? I included a screen shot of FP photo as well...
Thanks[emoji173]️

It's hard to tell because of the yellow lighting in the first picture, but I think it is plomb. It is appearing darker in your pics, but the grey threading indicates it is plomb. If it were anthra, it would have blue threading. Congrats, it's a gorgy bag!
Thank you! I know my quick pic was not the best[emoji85] I def wanted to make sure it was Plomb before I cut the FP tags off. Is there way to tell via the card numbers? I tried doing a search, and saw the thread that broke down what the numbers mean, but I'm still sort of confused.
The card can tell you the year and season of the bag. 2007 and 3 which indicates it is from f/w 2007. However, Anthra was also produced in that season too and is very similar to Plomb. There is no other way to tell, unfortunately.
Hmmmm🤔 Threads are def grey...so I'll go with what you said, and assume they are correct. Here is the original link with more photos. Thanks for all your help...Bal just confuses me to no end[emoji30]

Based on tag, it is def plomb. I forgot Anthra wasn't produced for f/w that year.

Just bought this and need help to ID!
The tag says 2012, so I did some search and the closest Colour I see is pre F/W Cumin! Does it look about right? I thought it'd be more brown, but this has some patchiness with light and dark brown. Wonder what anyone else's experience with cumin is. (The swatch is like that too!) Also, this is mGSH?
Hope to hear from you experts soon
Thanks!
/edit oops I don't know why the images aren't showing up in the post...
until I find out why, it would be great if you can just click the image link >.<

The studs are a lighter gold than the zipper...so I was actually searching the threads last night trying to see if maybe there was a fading issue. I found a few posts where you mentioned that GGH was produced in 2012 (LE)...and there was a "k" tag and lighter gold was used. I was wondering if this bag is part of the LE 2012...or some other year. Thanks for any assistance.

This is definitely Cumin. I have a RH City and love the color. It's a light brown with yellow. It's perfect for Spring/Summer seasons. Congrats!

This is definitely from the LE line in 2012. Giant hardware was discontinued in 2011 and giant gold hardware was discontinued in 2009. They brought back giant gold hardware for a limited time in 2012 and used a paler gold. People have said that it is lighting because it was no longer 24 kt gold, but 22 kt. I'm not sure if that was the case or not, but it is definitely lighter. Some people prefer that over the very yellow gold that was used earlier.
