Too early for lagon, I'm thinking cyclade? (I'd ask to see the handle if you're seriously interested, a twiggy can hide a lot!).

I think you're OK based on what I see of the bag but keep in mind that the pics needed for authentication aren't there.

Seller sent pics of handles and it seems to be in good condition. However, I am not sure I will get the bag, I am just not sure about the color. Thank you for your input muchstuff! Always appreciate your time!

I'm hoping to get some help with identifying my new to me Day. I bought it from AFF and the tag that came with it would indicate that it is a 2007 chevre in plomb. However, many things suggest that this tag is not the original tag for this bag. First, a helpful tPF pointed out that the style code on the paper tag is for the city. Second, she also pointed out that the stamp 1202 (leather tag) is the color code for anthra. Third, the mirror does not have a pocket on the back. Fourth, the bag has always looked like anthracite and has felt like a thick chewey agneau. It doesn't seem to be similar to any of the 07 plomb bags. I was also advised The "made in Italy" stamp on the back of the bag tag suggests that the bag was made between 2008-2010. So, I'm wondering if you might help me figure out what year it is from.

I've posted pics below, but here are some more characteristics:
1. Bag has thick, chewey, leather with a small wrinkle pattern. it is resilient and pliable and has softened with wear and a lot of moisturizing.
2. Chameleon colors: looks steel grey in indirect day light, blue-gray in flourescent or night time light. In natural open light it has a slight teal cast, leaning slightly toward greenish teal than blueish. The anthra color is a medium dark shade. It definitely would not be mistaken for blue or black.

Can anyone ID this for me? Looking for style name and colors it was available in. TIA.

The style is called the Metro. This bag would have been made roughly somewhere from 2008-2010 and available in the colours for the applicable seasons. Google "Balenciaga metro" and you'll find some examples.
