Wow! Just shows that there are many differences even if the colour is the same. The Marine City I saw and posted was darker than the other two that have been, and hardly any veins!

All lovely bags, but all a slightly different. i guess that is why it's best to buy your bag in person if it's at all possible!

Thanks so much everyone. Your photos and comments are really helpful. I'm loving the marine color, it doesn't look that much darker than blueberry to me. Gorgeous leather on all the bags too.

The marine looks sooo pretty. I just won on ink day on eBay, but I still think I am going to need something in the marine. Maybe a courier or a mini bowling...

I don't own any ink but have seen them IRL and love the colour.

The Marine, IMO, looks like a really deep blue sappire with a touch? of purple.

Similar, but different, and both lovely!

Here's the part time in Marine with Geant hardware. I've seen the Marine IRL and it pretty much looks like the picture. Very dark with more purple tones where as to compare with Blueberry it has more blue tones.

I have both Blueberry and Marine city. Blueberry and Marine are very similar yet different. I was comtemplating whether I should keep Marine City (and get a different style in Marine instead), but since my Blueberry city was getting beaten up by regular use, I decided to keep the Marine City.

I would describe Marine as a very handsome color. It is classy. Blueberry is more playful, and has brighter tone. My DH likes Marine better. He even said he would buy a bag of that color (not a bbag though) :)

Here's side by side picture (Top is Marine, Bottom is Blueberry). Unfortunately, Marine is quite hard to take a picture of for some reason. Without the flash, the color just doesn't come out correctly at all.

Wow. They look really similar there. The Marine sounds sooooo pretty. The more I hear about it, the more I want one.

Anyway, thanks for the comparison pics. Its so helpful to see stuff like that.
