jenny - it's always hard when they don't state the balenciaga color:rant: - I'm still waiting to hear from Bal but it seems only dull dark colors are available with the exception of the anthracite at harvey nics - i agree with mymy about the price at song 770€- it's 45€ more than Bal -725€.

I remember, I called up Bal London about a month ago, and Johnathan the SA said they had all the 2008 colours in the courier. When I went in last week, they sent ALL, every single courier to Paris or Milan because they weren't getting sold! And now, he says people are asking for them all of a sudden, and says I told you so to his management for sending them away!

How annoying it that? argghhhh!!

He says they wont be getting any apparently!

That Anthra in HN is the last one there!
They have my argent one, a charbon and I think its called Vert thyme, which is kinda nice. =S

I know ****** is going to be selling a amysthst one very soon in her shipment! Im awaiting my marine courier from her! and I cannot wait!

looks pretty purple to me... i adjusted the curves of the light alittle to get a better look.. sometimes, the lighting at the store distorts the levels.

yep, looks sapphire to me... looks pretty much like my friend's MU sapphire, just that the picture taken was with loads of store warm yellow lighting.

Thanks 'D' and mymy!! I'm sorry but what kind of insane Bbag-addicted lunatic buys a bag without knowing what color it is??? Ok, now that I have, I don't know, 8 or 9 Bbags to sell, maybe I've finally learned my expensive lesson!! Oh, 'D', why can't I be more considered and thoughtful like you!!!

Thanks, toety!! Wow, I really appreciate your adjusting the colors. I cannot tell you how much I'm hoping you're right!! I'm really not interested in another Charbon Courier or a Black Cherry one either!! Thanks!!!;)

oh it does look like saphire!! i hope it is jenny!!

and i remember song said they had bordeaux and ink but it was 2008..and so when they sent pics they were definintely marine and black cherry..they just called it different names..

Ok, it arrived today, and THANK GOD, it is SAPPHIRE, not Charbon (have one) or Black Cherry. I have to apologize to amacasa who said it looked like Ink, but I pooh-poohed her. Never again, 'A'!!!

It IS Sapphire but look at the comparison photos I took next to my Ink Day (2006, btw! lol). Fascinating; this Sapphire bag looks JUST LIKE 2006 INK!!! (Ink Day on the left, Courier on the right.)

Excuse the horrid photos, I do not know how you guys do it; my pics always stink. Plus, I had to rush before my hub and daughter came home.

Thank you all for helping me!! I REALLY appreciate it! You all are the best!:heart:

WAIT!!!

Is it Sapphire or Marine?????

I have a Sapphire MU (I think; I don't think it's Violet...) and compared the the sapphire MU and the Courier. What do you think? Are these just 2 different dye lots of Sapphire? Is it Marine??? (Hmmmm...now I see why Song called this color 'Aubergine.')

The owner at Song said it was a 2008 Courier, and that it was called Ink. She's sending the tags separately, so it looked like a gift. So, yet again, I won't know for a few days.
Weird, huh!

btw, cassie, Ebay's lifted my crazy restriction...thank the lord!

Well, I did and she said it was an 08 when I bought it, and then I set her an email yesterday with no response. I'm sure she thinks I'm nuts. cocodrillo talked to her the other day, too, and I think she told coco that it was 2008...so odd, though...Could the dye lots vary this much?

I know. I need to talk to cocodrillo again. She made it sound like Song had bought all the couriers in this color (whatever it is) this year. It'll be interesting to see the year, and also if it's chevre or agneau, on the paper cards. It certainly doesn't look like any agneau that I have.
