I’ve been on the hunt for just the right silvery metallic bag for a while, but just couldn’t find THE one. Until now. I feel really lucky to have caught it at the right moment. Bonus: the leather is scrumptious.

2005 Metallic Pewter Box Bag from the Holiday Collection

Hmmmmm .. I don't think the 'Box' style was produced in 2004/5 or 2005/6 (Pewter was done for both of the Metallic Holiday collections, the difference being that the 2004/5 hardware was the same color as the bag .. but 2005/6 hardware was silver).

In 2009, there was a limited edition Pewter Metallics which did have the Silver Hardware, and I believe the Box style was available then.

I had the original 2004/5, 2005/6 and 2009 bags at one time; sold them all (yes - I am a DUMMY for doing that)!

I assumed it was Agneau because of the year/it was listed as such on FP. It feels different from my '05 Chevre and '11 Agneau but I absolutely love it. Wore it out today and the color is even more amazing outside in daylight!

Nope .. 2008 S/S was still Chevre; it was 2008 F/W where Balenciaga changed over to Lambskin! However, I'm still absolutely convinced that my 2008 F/W Amethyst is Chevre .. certainly wouldn't surprise me given Balenciaga's quirks!

Thanks for the info! Definitely makes sense why it looks and feels way different from my Agneau.

If any of you looked at my IG Account, you would have seen this picture! Now, while I have had the '03 Notebook for some time, I just recently got the 2 RED Cities which took me almost 20 years to get (sheesh) .. a HUGE THANK YOU to the TPF gal who sold one of her Red cities to me!!! From top to bottom:

1. 2003 Red Notebook - Grained Chevre with Pewter HW
2. 2003 Red City - Chevre with Pewter HW
3. 2004 'True Red' City - Chevre with Pewter HW

Oh really? I thought the Box was only produced 2005-2006, at least according to Bal reference thread.

I bet that collection was beautiful!
