the first one could be Barolo in poor yellow lighting, besides, the seller mentions 'wine' in the title

Good point Ksuromax! I am going to contact the seller to see f she has a picture of the bag in different lighting. If it is Barolo I'm in trouble cause I really, really, like Barolo but told myself I wont buy another bag for a while

This is the pic the seller sent. She described it "darker than brick and more Bordeaux" (I asked to describe it and use some of these terms in my question). She said she bought it at "Barry's warehouse", and it was called wine. I wonder if she meant Barney's! I am inclined to think it is Barolo!!!
Just as an FYI, I've seen at least two brique bags listed as some type of wine colour. One I actually purchased for a friend who sadly already had a brique bag so we had to resell. I don't know why the confusion because there's no way brique and any sort of wine/barolo colour are even remotely the same...Good point Ksuromax!

Thank you muchstuff! Yeah, not sure about the color, even with the picture seller sent me. I am not good at reselling bags, so I will probably pass on this one, cause I do not want it to be anything other than Barolo.
on this photo it looks less 'wine' and more 'brique' I would not risk, try to ask a BV SA to check the serial number for you, good luck
I think so too.on this photo it looks less 'wine' and more 'brique' I would not risk, try to ask a BV SA to check the serial number for you, good luck
I'm sorry I don't have any information for you. My vintage knowledge is poor at best. All I can say is that it's probably from some time in the 80's. There is really limited information out there on these vintage bags, but maybe someone better versed in vintage BV can help you
Need help from our resident metallic experts!
My search for the perfect-for-me BV crossbody led me to the old pyramid, which led me to the new pyramid, which led me to the metallics!
The best I could figure out is they are armatura, but I don’t know if that’s the color, or just the finish that came in different colors. I remember wanting a copper Veneta way back, but don’t remember details about it at all.
If someone could help clarify if these are 2 different colors (and if so, what?), if they’re even armatura like I think, I’d really appreciate it! They look kind of the same, but not really. I know different monitors, lighting, etc, make a difference.
TIA!

Both bags are straight up Armatura, IMO. I would imagine since Armatura is associated with colour code 1203, that Elephant Armatura or Copper Armatura would have their own. That, and the latter two colours were introduced after 2007, if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks! I’m trying to stay on the path and decide on a crossbody but I keep running into other yummy BVs that distract me!
Here’s a photo of my violet Lambskin satchel and my Plum struzzo SO stretch knot. Due to the two different leathers, this is a challenging color comparison. They are both gorgeous purples.
Just clarifying for the sake of accuracy: there was an Indigo done fro Fall/Winter 2012.
Where was I that season? Hmph. Totally missed that one.
I just saw the earlier indigo posts. This is an indigo lanyard and a violet mini wallet. There’s not much indigo to see but I decided to post it anyway, since it shows the difference between the two colors. I don’t see the indigo to be like the Atlantic...to me, it’s clearly blue without purple popping out in the sunlight. (This was taken indoors. It’s rainy and dark out today.)
