I will never stop loving my Bal bags but I did think I was done with buying more. However. I’ve been regretting my missed opportunity to buy this bag I photographed me trying on at a Saks Off Fifth in 2016 or so? I don’t know the style - Classic City or Velo? I’m six feet tall so I don’t think it’s a Velo. And I’m not sure of the color. Help me identify for my hunt! Thank you, Sweeties!
Definitely a Velo but as to colour it could be one of many.
Yes I realize that. I’m so mad at myself for passing it up. I’ll do a search through the color library. At least I now know it’s a Velo!
The thing with Saks off fifth is that it could be from previous years, can you pinpoint what year you tried it on for certain? Then you can go backward from there. A word about the colour charts, the swatches can be deceiving, they're not a great example of the colours IRL. If you see anything that's even vaguely close, my suggestion would be to google that colour and see the examples from various listings, it'll give you a much better idea. Good luck!
Yes - I think this is a good depiction. I ‘m always drawn to dark hot pinks. There is this one ( already sold on The RealReal) that seems to be the color but they don’t notate the Balenciaga name for it. They also had a Velo with giant hardware that seems too red.

Thanks! I know what you mean. I had a devil of a time researching a purple bag I was selling on eBay. I simply couldn’t remember the exact year and color name and there are so many purples. Plus Bal reds, purples and pinks fade a lot over time. Luckily I have a date stamp on my photo. But I’m sure the bag was new “old stock”.
Bal colors are so nice, but it takes lots of sleuthing to finally figure out their names. Especially bags on the TRR where they don't show you the tags.
Could this be a pearly bronze Velo?
Thanks! Do you have a picture of it in natural light? I remember your passenger seat photo...is that how it usually looks IRL?
As usual my iPhone changes the colour somewhat, the pics on the website are closer than mine. It's a very rich colour with a hint more warmth depending on light.
