Thank you so much Saira1214! This is a dangerous addiction [emoji15][emoji16]
The back of the mirror has no pocket, what does that mean?
Thanks again![emoji8][emoji8][emoji8]

That means that it is newer than s/s 2008 when they changed the mirrors to not have pockets. Since Anthra is made every virtually season, it is difficult to pinpoint without the white card. I can say that it is definitely an agneau bag and was made after s/s 2008 and before 2011. Based on the tag, I think it is 2010.

Not saira, but the mirror pockets were discontinued in F/W 2007 when the last of the early chevre bags were made. When the agneau bags were introduced in that season there was a mix of chevre/agneau but in S/S 2008 strictly agneau. Those mirror pockets are helpful in determining whether a bag is pre 2008 and whether it's chevre or agneau, as the agneau bags never had the mirror pockets.

Hi guys! Im quite certain this bag is authentic...and I just need help figuring out what Blue it is.
I bought this slightly used, had it for some time too though I never really gave much more thought it wasnt Bleu Lavande. I actually had a Bleu Lavande before but the corners faded so I sold it. I snapped a pre-owned one up that said BL..
I was quite conscious when it arrived that it didnt seem to be as bright as the other one I had before but this one took on a brighter purpler hue under the sun so I just thought it was BL too.Recently somebody commented on the Which Bal Are you...thread that it looked different.Whatever color it actually is I still really love it! Hoping for some help here...

Can you please post the inside silver plate and a full picture of the bag? It looks like blue lavande, but I need to see more of the bag and oftentimes the white card can be mismatched.

Here you go Saira..
Its more saturated under bright light, denim or ash blue under subdued light.
I really appreciate your looking into this. This is such a weird (in a good way) blue!

This is not BL, it is Bluette and from 2011. Bluette is a color that was not widely available in the states and comes around here and there. Have you gotten this authenticated? I say that because there were some issues with this year, if I remember correctly. It looks good to me, but if I were you, I'd want peace of mind.

Wow Thanks Saira you are the best!
I do love the color...and yes, this was purchased from a Balenciaga outlet in S.E.Asia by the first owner! I think there were some K tag issues ? I was on the brink of buying a Latte from e.bay before when you guys warned me and saved me from a potential disaster...this one though I got to see in person before purchase. Many many thanks and more power to you and the tPF Bal team. :)
