So based on that and the giant hardware it's 2007 possibly s/s 08. Sandstone is in that time period too I think .

So, to narrow it down I think there are three choices, the 07 sandstone, mastic, or the S/S 08 sahara could still be a possibility (I was thinking the 2010 sahara when I said it wasn't yellow enough). It's very difficult to tell because lighting plays such a huge role in identifying a colour. You may want to cruise the various reference and clubhouse threads. Compare the colour of the zipper tape and the stitching to pics of those three colours. Sometimes that can be helpful.

Thank you :)
 
It's difficult to show the true colour in the photos,it does have a yellow/golden hue and is quite glossy. I think it's either mastic or sahara'08.
I think you're probably right. here's on 08 sahara Day where the zipper tape appears more yellowish like in some of your photos...

Hello! Hoping someone can help ID which red this Town is? I'm think Sang or Coquelicot, but the hardware has me confused as well... Is it G12 or G21? I only have Bals with RH so I'm having a hard time figuring this out... Tag reads 240578 6480. I tried to do a search and the Town is supposed to be 240579? But depending on hardware, can also be 240578, it seems like So I'm guessing RH is the 240579 and the 240578 is the silver? Any help is appreciated!!! red tag.jpg

The style numbers differ according to hardware, this looks to me like it could be a G12 coquelicot. Sang would have been too early for the G12 hardware. Can you post a clear pic of the tag back and front?

Thanks, Ladies! So it's the smaller giant hardware, yay! I'd have been happy with the big one but prefer it to be smaller.

It is still on its way to me, I can't wait! I've read both Sang and Coquelicot are beautiful reds so I'd have been happy with either one, TBH!

One more, please! Can someone help with this shade of brown? It's a very dark brown with undertones that I can't really describe... purpley-red?

And I missed the delivery of my '12 Coquelicot Town, so bummed!!! [emoji31]
