When was this from?

Okay, I want this bag! When was it produced and what are the legit sites to buy it from?

Also, lusting after the seafoam one. Don't care about the style. Any ideas on when it was produced and where I can get it?

Maevey, do you have a pic of the interior metal plate? it will tell for what season/yearit was produced.

also, the original seafoam was from the 2004 season so it's a discontinued color. a similar color-vert d'eau/sea green-was produced for the 2007 pre-spring season and is very similar in color to seafoam.

I don't. It was from searching for "blue" and Bal.

How can you tell season and year?

Hmm... there really isn't a good way to tell from just a picture since a camera can distort the appearance of colors. It could be the Navy from 2005... but without seeing the code on the plate, its very difficult to tell.

Okay, not looking for a navy. I'm looking for that denim blue, lighter blue, but not the sky blue.

There was a color called Blue Jean in 2003. Here's a pic:

Or Cornflower...

Says that one is from 06.

boysRsmelly · March 22nd, 2008, 05:14 PM

There's also Blue India, but it looks more turquoise-ish to me.

Says that one is from 06 as well.

Hmm... where's QC when you need her? All I'm doing is taking images from Real Deal's website. LOL!

Here I am!

It looks like either Marine or Blueberry but those both are darker blues. Balenciaga makes so many GREAT blues!

boysRsmelly · March 22nd, 2008, 07:50 PM

^^^ Oh yeah, the Blueberry is really dark. Like a rich navy, isn't it? I don't think the bag Mavevey pictured is what she wants if she's looking for a "denim" blue.
Thanks for your input QC! I guess its really hard to tell what color it is since pictures don't always depict colors accurately, huh?

The '03 Blue you posted a pic of is perfect, I think!

boysRsmelly · March 22nd, 2008, 08:00 PM

^^^ Yeah, they said that its called Blue Jean. I think that is as denim as it gets. LOL!
