In some shots it does look blue... maybe a faded blue roi?

That's the whole darn thing with trying to guess colour IMHO, everyone uses different lighting and everyone's monitors read colour differently. The seller of that particular bag is experienced though. The zipper tape does look darker than the anthra I had but anthra was made so many seasons. I've read that the F/W 2010 anthra is a true grey but I don't know about the zipper tape. Some pics of that bag look like a true grey, in others I see blue as well. But I've seen black bags where I'd swear they were blue if I hadn't read the description. :confused1:
EDIT: Taking a cruise through pics of bleu roi most of the bags look a true blue not grey. Maybe ask the seller for a good outdoor pic?

I think you're right that this Part Time is a Blue Roi, muchstuff. I found a 2011 RGH Anthra PT on Fashionphile and the color code on the leather tag is 1202. I found some old Blue Roi pics as well and the color of the tape and the lacing on the handles is consistent with this bag. Oh well, the search continues. I'm so glad that I checked here first! Thanks for your help!

I don't know if this helps or not, a lot of the photos are missing, but the bag looks different in almost evey pic available...look at post #10. If you're really interested why don't you discuss the colour with the seller? I've dealt with her before and she's very approachable.

Found an Anthracite GSH City that looks like its in decent condition. Any way to tell which year it is? I'm trying to avoid the dreaded 2009 version.

Pre 2011 but that's the best I can do. Perhaps someone with a better eye can look at the leather and make a best guess?

bearing in mind that i am only judging by the pics, texture of leather looks similar to my 2009 Rasin, veiny, but thick and not crackled, hope it makes sense... my 2009 is good, thick and smooth surface with nice very gentle veins

First, by looking at the back of the tag, "3444" usually appeared on the earlier bags. To confirm my guess, I just confirm the zipper tap color against the 05 Bordeaux which I have :-)

Wow I don't think I could tell them apart colour-wise based on those pics. Why do you go for Bordeaux over black cherry? The photo of the sides of the bag have a very dark, almost black look to them?
