Yeah, I think pictures can be really deceptive... it's so easy to get the tone and shade off. It's only when you see the bags IRL that you can really judge the colour.

But, it's interesting how close Pourpre is to RT in these pics.. like you said, they're very different IRL... I still think RT is prettier

What are you getting in Pourpre, Livia?

I actually think Pourpre is prettier. Haven't seen it yet and to be honest I've only ever seen one RT irl so what do I know?! I'm really looking forward to Kobros comparison pics of these two colours though. Should be interesting.

If the Bal gods will then I'm getting a Pourpre RH City. I'm getting crazy waiting

I think it's all a matter of personal taste - I, for one, have never understood the appeal of Bordeaux and it's a hugely popular colour... I'm obviously the weird one!

You're right of course. Btw, I think bordeaux is nice but also not for me. However, I really like Grenat.
I think most Bal colours are absolutely gorgeous but that doesn't mean they are "for me". That can be tricky sometimes; to realise that it's not for me even if it's beautiful.

MichK, you are SO good at getting colors right!

muggles · Jul 20th, 2009, 01:47 PM

Got my 08 sky blue! She hadn't used it but once and said it was stored all this time and it is still yellowish!?? Anyway she was nice and refunded me 100.00 which made the cost of the bag 500.00. Still nice and has everything like new including extra tassels! I will LMB her and see what happens!

fuchsiafirefly · Jul 20th, 2009, 10:21 PM

Hey leslie and muggles! I will check! I'm going to a few stores down there.

fuchsiafirefly · Jul 20th, 2009, 10:24 PM

Sorry to hear muggles. That's strange? Maybe some of the blues are defective? Maybe the dye was mixed wrong?

muggles · Jul 21st, 2009, 07:06 AM

Former owner swears she was juat stored. The handles are clean and firm and corners are great so you can see it was hardly used. Just the color is off! Used LMB and while she is squishy and soft she is still off color! Oh well will be a good everyday bag for work!

pilatesworks · Jul 21st, 2009, 08:12 AM

How 'OFF'is the color?
I have heard that the light blues can turn yellow-y.
BUT you got her for a great price, it is great IMHO to have a bag you do not need to 'baby'....

muggles · Jul 21st, 2009, 08:18 AM

Leslie you are up early!

Blu is great, she is my playbag!
I can moisturize her and enjoy her
without worry since she was a bargain!

I have to work the next 5 days! Yuk!

pilatesworks · Jul 21st, 2009, 08:44 AM

I am up early, darn shoulder is achy, and I hate pain meds....
Ohh, well Muggles, try and have fun, at least you will have your new bag to cheer you up!

MichK · Jul 21st, 2009, 10:01 AM

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear your shoulder is still so achy... hope you'll get to go home soon!

pilatesworks · Jul 21st, 2009, 11:19 PM

I will be home in my own bed tomorrow night, YAY !
