Oh no, I don't think it's Teal at all. Put my Teal WE next to the day and the color is nothing like that.
Ah well, maybe it's Turquoise, maybe Aquamarine? Thank you for your input, much appreciated.

I've been naughty again...
Just closed the deal on a Grenat First (I'm 99% sure of the color, lol) and a Pearly Bronze Velo.
Pics of the First are from the original listing, the pic of the Velo is from spottedfashion.com, for eye candy. I purchased the bag from rebelle. For some reason I can't get into the original listing and I forgot to take pics......
Here goes.
Condition of the Velo is supposed to be like new and the pictures showed that. And I've found a new appreciation for the itty bitty First, lol. Love my RT. Can't wait for them both to arrive

. can't wait for reveal photos. I only recently learned of this color, and it's so so lovely.If the First has a W tag, then for sure it's grenat. Based on the photos I would not have guessed grenat, but photos can be deceiving. Looks to be in great shape!
I think @muchstuff has?/had? a Pearly Bronze Velo. I've seen the City a couple times, but defo prefer the Velo style.that pearly bronze,

No tag pic of the First. But I compared the pics with a Grenat Work I'm still eyeballing, lol. If it turns out to be another RT, I'll just return it.
As I mentioned, I panic bought a red PH MU, even though I already have one. My original (below) is a 04 True Red. Does it look like the new one (above) is also a 04, or could it be 03? The shades look different, but the inside tags are identical. The 04 leather is more distressed and the new one silky. The color differences could be because my original one is just more beat up and darkened. Anyone know of an objective way to tell a 03 MU apart from a 04 MU?
Base only on these photos, the color and marbling effect remind me of Pourpre, but again, photos can be so deceiving. You'll find out either way very soon!
Little reveal !
It’s my second Balenciaga bag- I’ve always wanted a purple Bal, here she is- she came all the way from Asia if I did my research well she’s from 2009 (?). She’s perfect, no scuffs , no spots ! The handles are a little bit sticky in touch and some kind of “loose” as you can see in the last picture- is this normal ? - any idea how I can fresh them up ?

That’s what @Deco said, too. I always forget to also check the color of the zipper tape...
Grenat is darker from what I can see in my "comparison pics"...
Aww man, I wanted grenat, lol.
The first time I saw the pearly it was your Velo. It is a beauty. Love it.
Let's wait and see what you get, but I think it's poupre. You'll love the pearly bronze!That’s what @Deco said, too. I always forget to also check the color of the zipper tape...

It looks like at the very least the handles have been painted. Maybe the whole bag, the colour seems off, or it could be the lighting.Little reveal !

If you like you could post the relevant pics in the "authenticate this" thread, and we'll see if we can unravel it a little.

My exact thought too - I got it authenticated through Vestiaire and it was all ok- thank , I’ll give it another try
Honestly, we’ve found VC to make mistakes. Not saying yours is necessarily fake, but they’re not that good at discerning fake from authentic.My exact thought too - I got it authenticated through Vestiaire and it was all ok- thank , I’ll give it another try
Pourpre can be pretty stunning. I'm perpetually ogling this one. Thankfully I don't carry clutches. Check out this gorgeousness (though I highly suspect this is one of those FP listings with "enhanced" photography).That’s what @Deco said, too.

Interesting is that the bag did not come with its mirror - the seller was kind enough to give me one from another bag of hers- I after that received report from VC that the bag is redyed. I thought it was due to the colour difference between the mirror and the bag…they did not write any reasons at all for the redying part..
