NOV/DEC our new babie Bals (we need more!)

I thought that was a possibility, but it just doesn't look like a faded ink. It looks dark gray to the naked eye. In my experience, faded colors are never this uniformly faded, and they look obviously washed out because of the fading. The color on this is deep and saturated. It's a color I've never seen before (and I've seen and owned faded ink). Also the leather is unlike the leather on ink, though I suppose super fluffy ink leather is possible. Made me wonder if they made special colors just for the Hook, but that would be insane.

On the ME, I can find other listings with it called bleu paon as well. Code 4460.

Look how different the color can look, I suppose depending on lighting. Both 4460 color code from G season and with silver hardware.

You sure the Hook isn't a faded ink?

You got me thinking so I snapped the Hook next to my faded ink. What do you think?

The tone is similar and I can't think of another colour it could be? Here's a pic I found of a new ink Hook.

I agree with @muchstuff. My mind went to faded Ink immediately. Could also be Anthra?

INKINKINKINKINK. The leather on the Hook is scrumptious!

thank you @muchstuff and @ghoulish. I will file this under an ink that's surprisingly bereft of any hint of blue. But you're right, there's nothing else out there that's closer.

@ghoulish, I don't think it's anthra either since there's no green or blue in the color, and 07 anthra had quite a bit of blue/green in it. This is a pure dark gray plus a faint hint of purple, the purple making ink the closest possibility.

The leather is what Hooked me, I'll make my exit now before the rotten eggs and tomatoes come flying.

I used to have this bag... you're making me miss it! Color was amazing, a deep saturated teal.

Aaah, you did a much better job of capturing the color. It really is stunning.

It’s 07 Plomb imo.

Just put this adorable Agneau Classic Silver Hardware Mini City Yellow on layaway today. I just love the color and the size is perfect for the weekends and running errands. I can't wait to get it! Got it from Fashionphile.

I picked up the Aviator Dark Brown Sherling Twiggy from RDC with the Good Friday sale. Showing it along with my newest-to-me Hermes scarf, a brown Les Biches by Xavier de Poret.

Ooh thank you, my sweet friend! 🥰
I wasn't so big on 05 Caramel after purchasing a very washed out and super dry City some time ago. I was underwhelmed, to say the least. Haha.
But this girl is very pretty and salvaged my love for 05 Caramel.

For ease of use definitely the Day(s), hands down. My all time favorite Bal style. They hold a lot more than the hobos, without looking bulky.
Miss FB is coming out for a quick spin today, but she needs some strap surgery before I can really use her without worrying too much.

Ah yes.. should have realized. The Days have that wide mouth for easy access too! Been carrying small bags for so long I've forgotten..
