Hi Everyone,
I managed to find this Day and Boobie combo secondhand but am having trouble identifying the year/color. Since the Boobie was discontinued in 2006, this has to be from either 2005 or 2006. The leather is quite thick so I don't think it's 2005 - I had (and sold) a Teal day from 2005 which was very light and silky.
It's too warm to be the 2006 Cornflower. In the photos I included tassels from my previous collection for comparison. Top tassel is 2005 (unfaded) Teal and bottom is 2006 (very faded) Blue India.
Any opinions you're able to offer would be much appreciated.

ice blue, perhaps?
thickness of the leather is not consistent across the whole year, hides vary in every collection, and there's always natural texture difference
Thanks. I think it's darker than ice blue. I've had a number of bags from '05 and '06 and the general experience is that '05 is light and silky whereas '06 is thicker/heavier and spongy. I regret letting go of all my '06s so am now on the hunt for them lol.
I thought at first it might be 06 Blue India, but the zipper tape on BI is much darker, also more green than this..
My vote is for 05 Ice Blue... only very slightly faded..

Hello! Was hoping you lovely ladies could help me identify the color of this Mini Papier A4. Have tried to search G, but got very limited results 
(ie searched “balenciaga 9811”, got one result that shows it’s called Beige Desert, but when searching “balenciaga beige desert”, I get results that show it’s 9810)
Also, am I correct that E indicates 2015?
TIA!

not quite sure, but 9811 on FP is said to be Beige Desert, they are not always spot on Bal colours names, but since we don't have any other, more reliable source, i'd say it's Beige Desert
OP is correct in her comments about the 9811/9810 colour codes, both bags are on FP and both are called beige desert there.yes, E stands for 2015 AW

Not a lot of references for that colour, it may require a deeper dive...
is there any diff in hw? gold/brass/silver?OP is correct in her comments about the 9811/9810 colour codes, both bags are on FP and both are called beige desert there.
