Thoughts on whether this City is in a faded Pourpre? I've searched forum threads and found one conversation (https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-balenciaga.936807/post-31611804) referencing this tag number as possibly being for a Giant City in Pourpre. I've seen both 2123 and 1013 color codes when trusted resellers have referenced this color.
Shrimpton Couture listed a similar bag with the identical tag: https://www.shrimptoncouture.com/products/lim-ed-pourpre-balenciaga-giant-12-city
Help me, Obi Wan...

Unless the tags have a four digit colour code it's anyone's best guess. (the six digit numbers aren't, to the best of our knowledge, colour codes). The light in the VC pics is really hot, I wouldn't venture a guess because unless it's a super obvious colour and the lighting is neutral, you can't really tell. Anyone else want to try?
Yes, so sorry, I misspoke. I should have said that I've seen the same six digit mystery numbers ending in either 2123 or 1013 indicated for bags listed as Pourpre. I've been assiduously adding to my spreadsheet of all known style numbers, color codes, and date codes and it irks me to no end that there doesn't seem to be an actual four-digit color code for my beloved Pourpre.
Thanks for your input. I've messaged the seller for other pictures in natural light. Fingers crossed.
To the best of my knowledge 2123 does not mean the color code for Pourpre; I don't believe it had a color code listed on the tag. For example, here's a listing of an Anthra Brogues Work that has 2123 on the underside of the tag.

Yes, I acknowledged that. The tags I've referenced all have six digit codes *ending* in 2123 or 1013, never those four as a stand-alone code.

Ok, I was just ignoring the double 00 before the 2123 or 1013, since color codes are 4 digits. From what I'm seeing, the 4 digit color codes began with most of the Q tag F/W bags, except Galet, Noix, Pourpre and Lilac. Like here's a Lilac with the 001013 on the underside, so maybe this was a transition season of the tags? *shrugs*Yes, I acknowledged that.

Bal has always had some weird anomalies throughout the years, which makes keeping any kind of list/spreadsheet frustrating (ask me how I know; we must both be a little OCD, huh?
Without commenting on authenticity it's from the Papier range but I don't know which size number. Probably around 2011.
