Pretty, can someone please identify her?
Is she seafoam?

The Day bag wasn't produced until 2005. And seafoam would have pewter hardware.

OK, because of my lust for pewter, I played eBay roulette, and purchased this despite some alarming photos.

I admit to being relieved when I pulled her out of a ..plastic bag! :amazed: She looks authentic, despite the weird font on the tag.

She’s super lightweight and the leather is one of the most buttery soft I’ve ever touched.
I think someone has attempted to spruce her up, because I don’t think the edging looks quite right, too blue, in places. Color is rhinoceros grey. It was extremely difficult to capture the actual shade in photos.
I believe she is a 2004 PH grey Twiggy. My first Twiggy.
I was thinking to send her off to be refurbished, definitely the handles.
What say you?

The 04 grey is tinged with blue, I’d say you’re correct.

Yep. For me that blue edging on 04 gray is actually a details that helps me authenticate it.
Wow. I’m floored. I thought someone took a paintbrush to her.
I feel as if I’m drinking from a fire hose, learning all this stuff.
Owned Bal for years and tears, but never got too deep into them.
I don’t know what happened to me lately to flip the switch, but the passion is all consuming LOL

It happens. :lol:
 
what color is this, and is there a better photo of the color anywhere? Looks like muted reissue of the 05 bronze, though the muting could be the photography. meanwhile, it claims to also be green, which I can see. Help!

S/S 2012 sparkle bronze, LE, US only. It also came in sparkle rose. Here's an old TRR listing, I have no idea what gives with the black shoulders.
