i did read somewhere else that the 08 blacks aren't as saturated as previous years, but it def looks black to me

koala09 · Jul 18th, 2008, 12:51 PM

Hey Ate! We have the same clutch! BUT! Mine is a tad bit blacker, its not as grey. When I got my first BBag it was a Black RH Work from s/s 08. It wasnt black at all, it was like a dark gunmetal, it was definately not light like Plomb though. I've heard 08 blacks in general have been ehh. All pretty much arent a jet black its like a lighter black.

Hello Ading

~ yay, we have the same clutch, cool! I wanted to get the envelope too but I think this one is a tad more roomy and I like the strap. Oh well, I did want it really really black ~ but this is okay for now, at least the leather is nice and thick.

i think it matters less whether this is really black or not -- if you don't like it, you need another one. that's the thing about bbags -- theere is such a variety that even blacks bags are not all the same color. i have been searching for a black black bag that is uniformly black (all the ones i have seen have greyish areas).

richienickel · Jul 18th, 2008, 02:55 PM

i thought the same thing.
i was in the store in london and i picked up the envelope clutch and asked it it was a different grey to anthracite,the SA said it was black.
so id say yours is black to.

I have a black day and it definitely is a lighter black, but I actually like that because it's different than the other black bags I have. But it definitely gives it a more distressed, casual look.

I think that Bal black varies quite a lot, including some slighly grey or greenish blacks. I think this is black. It is subtle and very nice.

LivinLuxuriously · Jul 18th, 2008, 05:22 PM

Looks very black to me

SweetPurple · Jul 18th, 2008, 08:16 PM

Thank you everyone for your responses. Glad to know that some of you have the same kind of black ~ that's not so black, lol!

hipnycmom · Jul 18th, 2008, 11:19 PM

My 08 black step was this way too. Definitely in the black family but not a jet black. The color is pretty though:)

amiekbs8 · Jul 18th, 2008, 11:36 PM

That is the exact problem I'm having with locating a black ggh clutch, the blacks are not black enough (if that is in fact black). I think that it looks anthra to me, the zipper tape looks to be grey and not black and my black bags have black zipper tapes.

robotdoll · Jul 20th, 2008, 02:35 AM

what a lovely clutch. congrats! i have the same one. this is definitely black. you can tell by the zipper fabric. it is just the jet black you have probably wanted. regardless, it is gorgeous!

kimberf · Jul 20th, 2008, 03:09 AM

The leather looks TDF, really smooshy and thick. I think if, as you say, you don't compare it to your other black bags, you'll totally love it.

SweetPurple · Jul 20th, 2008, 04:24 AM

Thank you robotdoll and kimberf!
