It's really confusing now. Deco has confirmed that her's , which looks more like a S/S Caramel has a "D" tag & REREsaurus's, which looks more like a F/W Caramel also has a "D" tag!!!

And im now extra confused because the City in my avatar has a leather tag, not silver tag!! But the color is obviously not Mastic too, It's should be a F/W Light Caramel.

:doh::oh::shocked:

I think the F/W 03 caramel is more to the brown side than the TRR one but I could be wrong. Check these pics of a D tag caramel...in post #11 she says it has a D tag.

I was scrolling earlier and sadly didn't save the post, but I read that F/W 03 had both leather and silver tags. I think in the early years things weren't quite as regimented. I'll try to find the post again...
 
That sounds more convincing! ...... And now, the "D" tag Dark Caramel look-a-like First is really confusing .....

Yes. My 03 Dark Caramel City has a leather tag. Saw the First on RR, so happy someone here got it. It looks in perfect shape! :yahoo:
 
Hi Conni!!! Your Dark Caramel is S/S 03, and has a correct leather tag. Now the question is the one on TRR has silver tag :confused1:. And some member has Dark Caramel having "D" tag :confused1:

Oops. I just realized the DC is S/S 03. But that First on RR looks like dark caramel to me. I've heard of Bal getting tags wrong in the early years. It wouldn't surprise me if they put a few early silver tags on the tail end of S/S 03s. :confused1:

But short strap as well?
 
Hello,

I'm looking specifically for an Anthracite bag and this is being sold by a reputable seller. The only thing is that the zipper tape appears to be blue/navy instead of the usual gray. On the other hand, the lacing on the handles is gray... Is this really an Anthra?

I did what I do often, google Balenciaga and type in what I think is the colour code. Blue roi popped up for #4170 which is on the tag back, also a 2010 colour. If I type in #1202 anthracite comes up, this is a code I took from a 2010 anthra posted on Yoogi's some time ago.
So, don't know how scientific this is but I thought I'd pass it along. We know 1000 is the colour code for black but I also have seen the same "colour code" number on bags of different colours so who the heck knows?
