Okay, I love the Noix now! This is really bad because I just ordered something in Tempete. I think that I am getting the Noix Part Time.
Congrats on your lovely bag! So beautiful!

sweetlust thank you for the photos!

I love Noix! A nice, mid-tone warm brown. We haven't seen a mid-tone brown in a while, right?

No problem, everyone!

chloeglamour
- I was expecting something more brown from all the pictures, but turns out that it was such a beautiful color! And I'm so glad the color isn't mottled at all!

vink
- Yes it does changes so much! Now under my room light it almost has greenish tones in it!

This probably shows the truest color.


And to show what I mean,
Under room lights without flash

With flash


It looks so different under different lights I think my eyes are playing tricks on me...

Oooh I like Noix! Congrats on getting the first Noix City! I'm still waiting for mine. So under artificial lighting, does it really change to the color as shown in the photo from cultstatus?

^^Although it is in the brown family but it is a different kind of brown. I guess mink is a good description

Cant wait to see yours!! Maybe you will be able to describe it better than me

Thank you for all your photos! This is really a hard colour to understand because there are so many pics which show it photographing a bit different. It even looks so much different from the original swatches that were posted. Your photos have really helped. Your Noix City is gorgeous ... love the leather. I hope to get mine a bit later this summer and now I really can't wait. Congrats!

Edited to add: if you have a chance, could you take a photo outside? I'd love to see what it looks like in natural sunlight/shade as well.

Thank you so much!

Wow! This color really change. So much it looks almost like different bag! At some point I even think it has a metallic sheen.

Your leather looks so yummy! Congratulation on a very lovely Noix! It looks very soft almost like a broken-in bag already!

Thanks for the wonderful pics!! This is the thread I've been waiting to see!
Congratulations to your beautiful Noix City, it's indeed an unique color.
Neutral enough to go with everything yet still looks chic.
I'm glad I've confirmed my order a few days ago, after seeing this reveal I just can't wait any longer!

Seems like I've been saying nothing but: OH MY GAWD, lately!!!! Swear!

This color is definitely a must-have on my list now. I love your photos, it proves once and for all the color is more Taupe and much less brown.

Thank you!

I can total tell the color of the Noix now. I knew I was gonna love this color when I see the bag -- instead of just looking the color swatch.
I'm so envious sweetlust!!! congrats!
