This one is a story, lol. For almost a year I had a beauty black CP from ss07, with probably the best leather on any BBag I have (even better than my plomb courier and 03 weekender!) Then a couple weeks ago it was a friends bday... well, to make a long story short, I left my pretty in a cab after one too many drinks, and never saw it again 
In true bbag crazed fashion, I saw this as an excuse to get another coin purse
After waiting two long weeks, the 2008 anthracite/charcol cp is mine!! And it's beautiful, especially the leather.
Even though it's called Anthracite, BalNY calls it Charcol for good reason. Unlike my plomb or some Anthr07s I've seen, you DEFINITELY will not mistake this for black. It's a true dark charcol grey, but soooo pretty, quite possibly the most perfect grey bal has done so far. Here are some pics, including a plomb comparison. I had an impossible time capturing the true color, but it looks closest to the last one (no flash by itself)
I've thought I'd never say this, EVER, but... thank god I lost my Balenciaga!
