Hi ladies! So sorry for the late reply. I apologize for my sucky photos. It unfortunately didn't have a mirror anymore when I got it. It is black in color so does that make it an ink?

Thanks again for your expertise! [emoji8][emoji8][emoji8][emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

In the first picture it looks blue/purple, which is exactly the description of ink, but when I look at the tag it doesn't have any of those qualities. If you are saying the bag is black in appearance, that is shocking. I would need better photos of the bag in natural lighting, without the flash to better tell. This is an ink twiggy and your bag is much darker. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1462805587.186732.jpg

This looks like it has been dyed. Does it feel that way? This bag is difficult for me to ID because I don't think it is in its original color. There are splotches of purple and even the tag looks as if it has been dyed and/or heavily discolored.

Hi saira! I bought it preloved and those are actually the pictures the seller posted. It was in such bad state when I received it that i had it redyed black. I was thinking the purple discoloration was just normal wear and tear of a black bal as I've never owned a black bal before. I guess there's no way to find out exactly what the original color was?
This is how it looks now post re-dye

It definitely looks a lot better since it has been redyed. I have actually never seen a black bag discolor to purple, so that leads me to believe it was dyed at some point. It likely wasn't professional since it looks pretty splotchy. Sorry I can't be of more help since it looks like the tag was dyed as well.

Thank you so much Saira1214! I always appreciate your expertise[emoji4]
Would it be a possibility that it might have been purple originally?

I am thinking so, but it impossible for me to determine which purple. The handle threading and zipper tape look to be original, but it is hard to tell in photos. Maybe someone else can chime in?
