Perhaps it's just the lighting...but the interior tag looks quite a bit darker than mogano.Wow beautiful leather!
Hmm I actually have a Cafe too... doesn't match. The cafe's ropes are much darker than this one.
This Mogano bag has probably been beaten up before I got it.
I purchased from a consignment store, on the serial numbers it said F, which indicated S/S 2015. Now that you mentioned that I shall have it authenticated!!!It's a G12 mini City. The colour looks like rouge cerise but that was a F/W colour...
I'm just going by the colour swatches that we have for the different seasons. Unless rouge cerise was made in S/S as well but didn't make it onto the colour thread. Not a bad idea to have it authenticated anyway, see the link below in red for the pics needed. I just checked and 6216 is the colour code for rouge cerise.
I thought it was cafe too, but guess not due to the lacing color on the handles
Wow beautiful leather!

The only other option for the season is vert fonce and it doesn't look like it either. @eyeonprize is there a chance of getting a pic outside?
EDIT: The zipper tape looks too light for cafe as well. It could all be a lighting thing, perhaps it's mogano but the lighting is throwing me off...
. But it just doesn't LOOK like mogano...

It cant be Vert Fonce as i can't see the "olive" in it. Cant be Truffle as the stitching of tag looks different too.
Much, take a look at the photo showing the back of tag where u can clearly see the stitching. Can you compare to your Magano?

Can't post pics at the moment, issues with the site, Vlad is aware. I wanted to post a pic of a mogano tag back for comparison to the OP's tag back.
I THINK the stitching on mine is a bit lighter but you know how it is with pics. A pic of the OP's bag outdoors would probably solve this...it may just all be a matter of lighting.Yes, I can't post anything since last night !
Ah OK pics seem to be working now. Here's a pic of the tag back from a mogano Day I've just purchased as a DIY project. Plus a pic of the inside edge of my Hobo. Finally, the OP's tag back. All areas that one would expect to have little fading. I'm not sure that lighting would be enough to make that big a difference, mogano has a lot of red in it.We experienced it ! Lighting plays a BIG part !
