Does the cobalt glossy have violet undertones to it? I've sold off two potential cobalt blue Balenciaga bags because they weren't quite the right blue. I want something thats a rich sapphire blue with just a hint of purple.

Thanks for the good idea

Hi Rose,

Do you have anymore colour pics, under different lighting, or modelling shots of the new bags for us to look at please? I do think they will help us get a better idea of all those stunning colours. Also, do you have any swatches available? Thanks! XX

Rose,
I noticed that the regular WTM on the pre order sheets were listed without the messenger strap. So one should buy one additionally??-TIA.

Sheen leathers are more or less like glossy leathers. Very pretty!

We are so glad you are enjoying them!

Yes, aubergine is a bit similar though not exactly the same. It could be called plum.

Also, how would you describe the burnt orange?

Thanks X

Turquoise is lovely! Equal parts blue and green.

Burnt orange is quite like a dark Satsuma. Also very pretty!

I'm very sorry but there is no definite word on this just yet.

I will try to enlarge the colour swatch chart for you if that might help a bit.

It will be the thicker one!

The one bag that I really wanted to get is a Dark Grey Matte TME Midi. I was hoping it would be part of the spring line.

Yes, it is a bit different. Matte taupe grey could be called dove grey and is a bit of a warmer tone whilst dark grey is cooler. Gorgeous!

As all good hardware, it is made of stainless steel which is plated after treatment so that it does not rust.

Also, is one lighter than the other?
The Hobo has a zipper top?
Thank you!

The Hobo is the perfect light summer tote also ideal for traveling as it packs flat. It is lighter than the Stroke Me and has a magnetic closure.

I am sorry, this is what we have at the moment. I will mention your request though!

I have checked and found that we do not have swatches available right now.

I'm curious about the new "chocolate sheen" leather. Can you tell us how the color compares with choc. matte and what the texture is like? Is it similar to the other glossy/sheen leathers (e.g., wine, petrol)? Thanks!
