Thank you!!

Geez! I think you're right! I just went to check out the mogano clubhouse and bal_fanatic has a photo of a courier that looks exactly like mine! It's pretty brown when not in direct daylight.

I had ruled out mogano because compared to the vert fonce and the brownish red day, the leather is not soft or chewy at all, and seems so thirsty. Also some other pics I've seen of the mogano appeared more brown with less red. Who would have thought I now am the proud owner of a coveted 07 mogano!! Both my couriers are from 2007!

Time to figure out what colour is my Day!
I guess your day is Black Cherry. Experts will confirm if when BC was released, the Day style was still produced
 
Got this beauty online, but I’m not sure if it’s a Plomb bag or another kind of gray part-time. It’s got feet underneath, so it must be an older model. Any guesses or confirmation that this is indeed Plomb? Also not quite sure if the leather is agneau or chevre since it’s a bit stiff, but it’s definitely so much thicker than my Balenciaga Agneau bags (but not as glossy and smooshy as my 05 Magenta Chevre bag)

My guess is that she’s black, no plumb.

I love your astronaut bear! Is it from etsy?
 
@Elizaenchanted check carefully around the hardware, you can often see a bit of paint there if it’s recoloured. Also the whip stitching on the handles. Are the interior parts of the leather exactly the same colour as the exterior? Some outside pics would be great.
Yes, color looks a bit dark gray inside and out. There doesn’t seem to be any irregularities in the color near the hardware and inside the handles though, so it doesn’t seem recolored. It’s quite cloudy today so will try to get some outside pics tomorrow. In the meantime, here are some inside pics. Hope this helps :doh:

The lighting in your pics is quite warm so it’s hard to tell.
 
Hi everyone!
On a similar note..
I just purchased this fw07 city on fashionphile, and the color is listed as anthracite, although now i’m wondering if it’s actually plomb?
I just clicked purchase so I haven’t received the bag yet but I can show better photos once I have. I’ve never owned anything in anthra and was really excited at the thought..
Anyone have any opinions?CAF1046D-4A43-44C0-B30C-CAC37733AE28.jpeg89CD54B1-3D27-4791-994A-DCC73E0EDA12.jpegFB537256-BCAC-48D2-9C91-F2176FBF6C88.jpegA38FF6EE-E7D3-43A4-88B3-87206EC8F12E.jpegC7FF044A-8CE8-4B25-977F-F2946B74115B.jpeg
