Identify this Balenciaga

Sounds good. I'll ask the seller to post more pictures that better capture the color.

Ask for a pic outside!

Maybe...But other truffle bags I've seen tend to be a little lighter than this. I was thinking maybe chocolate, mogano, or marron...? It could also be the seller's lighting too.

Can’t be marron as the Day wasn’t produced until 2005. Looks like it has a little warmth in it or so mogano, sienna, saddle, cognac...I forgot about the 06 olive brown/marron but I don’t think so.

Thanks. I'm hoping for mogano!

It’s a good guess if there’s some red to it but a pic in good light would be needed IMO.

I agree. Unfortunately they live in Seattle where the skies are smokey due to the wildfires. So no outdoor pics. I'm asking for an indoor pic in natural light.

The seller uploaded another photo in natural light and I think I see some red! Would you say this is mogano?

Hard to say, it's pretty faded, maybe cognac or sienna? It doesn't really look like mogano to me (split tassels look too light IMO) but like I said, with the fading it's hard to tell. @ksuromax what do you think?

besides, the leather looks consistent for 2006 SS

Thanks so much! I haven't heard good things about S/S 2006 leather so might just pass on it.

It’s pretty faded, I don’t think you’d be able to bring it back much TBH.

Here are pics of a Cognac 2006 City I bought a few years ago. I returned it because I didn't like the "bubbly" leather, I prefer smoother. But the colour was spectacular.

I understand what you mean about the bubbling, but I love that color!

Hi bal experts! I recently bought this beautiful and smooshy GSH part time but am unsure of the year and colour. Through my research I have narrowed it down to 2007 or 2008, as it has feet and a mirror pocket. The leather feels similar to another 2007 bag I have so I’m thinking it is probably chèvre therefore the colour is plomb but does anyone else have an opinion? Thanks
