Thanks so much @r luvs h ! It doesn't have an R1 on the receipt, just "Sac Birkin Sellier 25 Veau Epsom" then a reference number that starts with H079... and a Numero d'Identification that starts with "BAP..."

The last two digits of the H079... number should be the color code. Also, where is that brown Bolduc-like ribbon from?

Hi, does anyone know the color of this gray mini Kelly? I first thought Gris Meyer, but perhaps etain? Thanks for the help!

Gladly! And I do agree with acrowcounted that you are likely interpreting the receipt information incorrectly.

Hi there; do you have any information on the production date for this item?

Looks like vert de gris to me.

Hi, thanks for the reply it said 2024 stamp I believe. There was another photo of it, in the front here. So stunning, and it appears to be a bit of a chameleon 🤔

Ah I see that, I do love vert de gris. That’s probably why this one caught my eye. Is it still in production?

I’ve been after a pop of colour and a Victoria - ticked them both off with this gem. 😍

It’s a 2014 bag, and while I think it might be Bleu Paradis (seller can’t remember) I’m hoping the knowledgeable folks here can chime in, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

My first guess would be Gris Meyer. It's a true grey without undertone.

Etain has a bit of brownish tone in Epsom (and wasn't often produced in 2024) and Vert de Gris should be a tad more green-brownish

But all depends on the light as well

Thanks so much for your input! I initially thought the same and then started second guessing, lighting really makes such a difference

This looks like Gris Meyer to me, but it is hard to be certain with the dark/moody lighting. Both Étain and Gris Meyer were available for Mini Kelly II in 2024. In the case that this is Gris Meyer, the leather may actually be Veau Madame. It looks like the seller is Ginza Xiaoma, so you may be able to confirm with them.

Congrats on the purchase! If you could provide a couple more pictures of the bag in natural indoor lighting, not direct sunlight, that would help us get a better idea of the colour. Thank you.

Hopefully these help? First one includes ML in Bambou for comparison.
