well Aqualoine bags were made out of plume
which I think if I remember correctly is a very thin calf
but this bag I think is vintage (pre Tomas Maier) or at least before I have experience with Bottega
from looking at the picture (of course it would be better if I could touch it) it looks like calf leather or a nappa with a shiny finish to it
sorry I can't be more help but the tag is not telling me much

That's the name, as I told you. Not an official name, you're correct in that, but what else are we to call it? It is shiny calf, it's intrecciato, its a bag, yes? Here are two threads about this bag that should help you. Again.

A photo of the white authenticity tag (inside a zippered pocket) will give us that information. It might be Ametiste from Fall-Winter 2011/2012.
added later--the photo isn't exactly the Ametiste color but the lighting can change the color in photos.

You are very welcome. I am envious of your bag - this is a nice one; I should have kept mine!
Thank you
The color code based on the tag is 5072
Prob get a new bag in Corot color
The new bags do not have the same type of tag. The bag you have looks like a Belly Veneta perhaps in Orchid (from 2010), though I do not have that older color code. Could be another pink from 2010, maybe Fuchsia. Or yes, even Ametiste. It is a nice bright happy color regardless.

It's not Ametiste (found it in my list). I think Corot is more purple-y. It might be Orchid but I only found other variations on that color code because it was used in combo with other colors.
Orchid is 5002
I sent an email to my friend who still works at BV
when she gets back to I will let you know
I thought it was orchid because I have an orchid document case but I read the tag wrong
I guess I should wear my glasses when I look at these things

I wear glasses all the time, September, and still transpose numbers. (BTW, something in the program automatically capitalizes September.
well my friend says it is probably Turbalance… from this season
even the SA's don't know the color codes with the new tags
