Identify this Balenciaga

[samfalstaff]

i didn't have a chance to compare both side by side, but i remember that Vibrato was very light, too. I bet if there is any difference, it is very minimal.
Vibrato had a bit more of the texture, more defined grains on the skin, slightly sponge-y feel (if it makes sense?) and shiny gold, or silver hw.
Mine is smooth skin and dark brass hw

Yours sounds better and better. "A" tag, right? I think I know what you mean about the spongy feel.

I’m thinking 08 but I’ve never had the 07. Here are pics of mine. The paper tags for the Day said 08, don’t have them for the Courier but it’s the same colour.

Have you made any decision yet? Do you like the style?

Have you made any decision yet? Do you like the style?

Yes, I like the PT style. The color is gorgeous in the light. But still undecided. Not entirely sure why. I'm going to revisit it after Thanksgiving (which is this Thursday for us). I think I'm just distracted by outside (non-bag) stuff right now. As a side note, I really do appreciate FP's 30 day return policy!

Hmmm, I generally find if I'm undecided when I buy I usually end up reselling. That's just me of course. It really is a lovely bag. Keep us posted on your decision.

Would someone be able to help me with IDing the colour/year of this Bal Day? Snagged it for cheap on eBay but can't for the life of me can't work out how old she is! The leather is looking a little patchy as I used some leather honey a few hours ago as it was very dry (felt a bit like the 2006 s/s chevre).
Inner tag is 140442 . 213048 with no colour code for me to reference. Thanks!

It’s so faded it’s hard to tell. Can you post a pic of the interior tag in good light? Front and back please.

Here's some I've taken with and without flash, they're the best I can get for now as it's night time here. Like you said, the fading makes it really hard to work out what it is, it took long enough for me to decipher the serial number on the tag.

The colour of the leather on the mirror kind of looks like Olive Brown/Marron? It's the closest match I've got so far.

The first one.

 

[muchstuff]

The first one.

It would be somewhere between 05 and S/S 08 but I’m not sure which brown. The bottom pic looks like charbon but if it looks more like the other pics...

This looks like truffle to me. Truffle was made in '06 and '07, but since you say the leather is dry, my guess would be '06. Here's a picture of '06 truffle that I borrowed from Yoogi's. You can see how dry the leather is.

I thought the zipper tape looked a little too dark for truffle? Always hard to tell from pics though...?
