I definitely don't agree. Gris Pyrite would not be mistaken for blue dragee. I agree that the pictures aren't in the best lighting, and the photos of blue dragee I have seen have usually been more saturated, but I definitely do not believe it is GP. The alternative is that it is Gris Glace, which I believe makes more sense. Here's a link to a GG day.

Thanks Saira. Yes gris pyrite does look more grey in photos and seller said this has a blue undertone. I'm grateful as I didn't believe it was quite right (in terms of colour) and this saved me from a costly mistake.Thank you! The search continues...

Check out this link of Gris Glace. If you are looking for a grey bag with blue undertones this would be perfect. What exactly are you looking for in terms of color? A more straight up grey?

The back of the tag wasn't needed. The silver plate indicates that it is 2011 Coq. I had a coq city that I sold and didn't think the leather was thin. However, leather can vary within seasons. I prefer the 2011 coq color to the one produced in 2012.

Thank you so much Saira! You're awesome!!! I only own Bal shiny goatskin which is very thick so I'm used to it I guess!:) i heard distressed lamskin is much thinner than goatskin, isn't it?

It depends. I'm not sure what you mean by shiny goatskin. Chevre has a lot of variation as does agneau. I have had thick agneau and thin chèvre. There is no hard and fast rule. It really depends on the specific bag. What is true at all times is that a hamilton bag will be more thick than both an agenau or chèvre bag. Hope that helps.

Actually I have bleu acier in metallic edge. I've been after a gris pyrite rh city bag but there are none left in boutiques and my only chance is pre-owned. I think its the perfect neutral grey with no undertones..
