Mystery green??? From Brandoff. Someone posted this 10 days ago in the finds and initially they said it was seafoam, so i jumped right on it. Then after my purchase, noticed they changed it to mystery green. Oh well! Do you think it's too close to my other green weekender? The leathers are completely different. The pine green has even wrinkles all over and has a dryer feel, but this new one is silky soft and smooth leather. Reminds me of my eggplant first leather feel. Does anyone know what the color is? Is it too similar to keep? Thoughts 💭??IMG_20240412_133252972.jpgIMG_20240412_133303562.jpgIMG_20240412_133322675.jpgIMG_20240412_133422998.jpgIMG_20240412_133430857.jpgIMG_20240412_133538773.jpgIMG_20240412_133614574.jpg

Take it out and about, put it against your outfit combos, I think you'll see if you want to keep it.

But if you don't...calling dibs! :graucho::graucho::graucho::graucho::graucho::graucho::graucho::graucho::graucho::graucho:

[Edit] I think it's MG.

Good GRACIOUS!!! Haven't seen an MG Weekender before! Insanely gorgeous, dear! Keep it! You will forever regret selling this beaut! WOWEEEEE!!!! :faint::faint::faint::faint::faint:

Edit: interesting detail, the interior pocket of my MG First has a plastic zipper. Did Bal do this on the WEs specifically before changing it to metal interior zips on all bags?

Some of the old bags did have plastic zippers. Firsts too.

Haven't seen a WE with plastic zippers before, I think? That's why I'm wondering, if they used metal ones solely on WEs and only later on on all other styles.
But I believe you when you say some old WEs had plastic zips too, oh sacred Bal oracle. Lol.

Hang on with the oracle stuff. :lol: I believe 04 was the last year plastic zippers were used in Firsts, so it would be possible in the WE as well IMO. @RealDealCollection, Corey is that right?

As a lover of all things green, I think this is a really cool combination! You can also rotate them and not have as much wear on your pine. It looks in really good condition too. Congrats!

I don't understand what a plastic zipper is...

This won't add anything since I'm totally confused, but here's the zipper on the inside pocket on my C-tag SF weekender, it feels like metal...? 🤷‍♀️
