Never seen it before, but loved it instantly. I adore denim blues.
It comes in waves, sometimes small ones other times bigger ones. Thanks for asking, Muchy.

New to me 2011 Mimosa Day (my only Day). Great deal from VC in mint condition but missing the strap!🤷♀️ Who cares?. Just added a colorful one and voilà, happy summer Bal and for a steal 🥰
Love how looks on me with a longer strap.

Lovely score, the condition is beautiful & loving that strap!
Got distracted again, but what else is new...
I purchased a bag off a site that doesn't allow you to go back to the listing photos. Duh, I knew that and still completely forgot snapping screenshots. 😭
Scoured the internet for some pics, but couldn't find a whole lot. So, now I'm waiting for a DIRTY Bal? What?! I blame @Deco of course.
Dirty effect small Neo Cagole City in blue. Saw it and had to have it! Looks more black in the few photos I could find...

Oh my, you scored a super rare.
These are very hard to find. And I swear mine looks blue, but the color code says black. Did the listing photos show a blue color code? Either way, LOVE! The dirty effect black/blue is gorgeous, not unlike the vampire in coloring, but with a thicker and shiny leather. (The dirty effect white just looks dirty.
) can’t wait to see the reveal photos!
No photo of the code, but it looked and was listed as brand new.Oh my, you scored a super rare.

Sooooo...
I do believe it said blue/black? So that tracks with your description then.
Super excited to see it in the flesh! I'll have a look at the tag when I get the bag. Black is 1000 for the newer styles too, right?
Yes, still 1000 for black. Blue would start with a 4.No photo of the code, but it looked and was listed as brand new.

“Bolthead” Black(Blue) Dirty Effect Large Cagole Flap Messenger.
I tortured Muchy behind the scenes as I obsessed over this bag. I couldn’t decide if I should post it in the Frankenstein abominations thread as a boldly creative fake, or buy it because I desperately wanted it to be authentic. As soon as I got comfortable it was authentic, I pounced and here it is. Has a large zip pocket in the back, which I love.
Funny story. This bag was listed as black. VC inspected and authenticated but alerted me that it was blue and gave me the option to back out for the bag not being as described. LOL. They even sent me a photo of the bag against a blue Pantone swatch to prove it was blue, not black. More LOLs ensued. Since I already have the dirty effect Cagole Neo Classic City, I was pretty sure the seller was correct that it was black, just looks blue because of the wear.
Moral of the story is that while VC may know how to authenticate some bags (stress on some), it still doesn’t know about the color codes. 1000 for black is as basic as it gets. But I agree that it looks blue and not black. See comparison photo of my Dirty Effect city next to a black city.
Anyway, I’m in love with the boltheads and prefer them to the regular Cagole, G12 and G21 studs.

If that's not a perfect color match, I don't know what is.
