Thank you my friend, and no, lol, you won't get booted for saying sexy! Oldie fanatics will argue that caramel is infinitely superior to cumin because it is 2005, and in terms of the leather, it undoubtedly is. However, I actually like two things about cumin better: (1) the color seems richer to me (just personal preference her, but I see a more layered, dimensional golden brown in cumin) and (2) you can still find cumin bags in perfect or near perfect condition on the resale market, whereas most caramel bags that come around, due to the fair color, have obvious mileage on them. No disrespect to caramel bags, of course, they are the stuff of legend for Balenciaga and undeniably gorgeous. Here's a comparison photo for you -- I dug it up on tpf when I was researching cumin myself (cumin left, caramel right).

PS your amethyst is insane. It's my fave Bal pink, I just can't do pink (or bright) bags without feeling like a fish on a bicycle.

Thank you S for your detailed explanation. They do look similar -- both are very pretty. You brought up a good point of it being easier to find a better condition cumin than caramel. While I love my amethyst, I think I need to add some neutral Bbags to my collection (after getting my first taste of it with one gorgeous 06 black first :smile:).

Yesssss Iamminda! Neutral is my life. For me, wearing navy is getting crazy. I salute you and all the gals who love color and wear it well.

Love that Cumin colour! I tried to buy a preowned one yesterday from a kijiji seller, but another lady beat me to it. Hopefully another one for a good deal comes my way someday[emoji4]

Dang! Keep your eyes open though, cumin bags seem to come to market in waves. There were three on the market when I bought mine, all of them in great shape. Check out this one on TRR. Described just as "tan" it looks like cumin to me, and if you ask they can provide additional information (because they are utterly inept at taking adequate photos.) A heck of a price too, at $660 after the discount!!! https://www.therealreal.com/product...els/balenciaga-motocross-classic-city-bag-226

Thanks DM! It's another one that winds up on my mental elimination list when I do a mental search for bags to liquidate, then I look at it and I'm like, naaaaah.

Right? When it first came out it was polarizing. Maybe it still is..... Some people love(d) it, others said it looked like what you get when you go to Mexico and drink the water (you catch my drift?). But I love.:heart:
