Hi ladies , please help me with this bag........any idea of age , colour, and what is it called. Many thanks
I've never seen this bag before. Where did the photo come from? Is it yours? Are there any clues inside the bag re: colour, season, lining... Is there an authenticity tag we can see to start guessing?
BV just did a series of drawstring/bucket bags for Fall 2016. It doesn't look like one of them.
Basically, need more information.
 
Hi ladies, I am curious as to whether this Bella that I am keen in is an Ebano or an Espresso. Grateful thanks in advance for helping me to take a look at it. View attachment 3635226

Hard to say, I mean the authenticity tag does't tell me anything. Depends on when the seller bought it...
The bag photographs like Ebano in the second picture but a full photo of the body of the bag would be more helpful. :flowers:

I thought it looks like Ebano too. Seller says that those photos are taken with flash whereas the other pictures which led me to think its Espresso were taken under yellow light. Here are more photos of the bag. I hope it helps. Once again, thank you for your time.

The bags I've seen in Espresso are reeeeaally dark. I've also seen Ebano look really dark, though. I only have one Ebano bag (an intreccio natte style from '08?) and it's definitely a yummy milk chocolate colour, so I can't compare the colour to my own.
Do you love the bag regardless, or are you intent on owning something in Ebano only?

Thoughts from the other ladies with Ebano pieces?

I am leaning towards Espresso, solely for the reason that it is really dark. I had read most ladies describing Espresso as so dark a brown that it looks almost black and I prefer that. Unfortunately, I had not seen a dark Ebano as yet so I have the perception that it is milky brown but scouring back the threads, I read there is an old Ebano and a new Ebano. I will call the boutique and ask for help, running the number tag. Perhaps it will shed some light? The seller will love to know as she is unsure too.

Thank you Von, you are tremendously helpful! [emoji253] [emoji258]

Not to add more confusion but it looks like my ebano convertible. [emoji52]

No confusion at all. Thank you so much for helping me to take a look.
I have an espresso Veneta - see comparison with nero French flap under white light. The Bella does look more like ebano imo and expresso can look almost black especially in yellow light.View attachment 3635819
Appreciate the picture of your Espresso! Thank you! It is so beautiful. I really like the 'dark side' of Espresso, though I must confess I contemplated with the idea of getting something in Nero too.

I was also considering between the nero and expresso Veneta but fell for the beautiful dark brown of espresso :smile: now still looking for the right nero bag :biggrin:

not a fan of brown to help with bags shots, but my Ebano phone case looks like V0N said - chocolate, and very close to your bag's pics,
while Espresso is very dark, same like Tourmaline, it can easily look black, i couldn't tell it from black in the boutique when i was looking at slgs (they always have bad lighting there)

P.S. here's comparison of 'old' and 'new' Ebano
My phone case is from 2011, and bracelet i got last year, so it is either 2015 or 2016
Bracelet to my eyes is a nanno tad darker, but it could be because the p/c was in constant use and might have faded
But on the bracelet you can see how different the same brown can look depending on how the light falls on it
Hope i am not myddying waters now :angel:
