It looks like a matte chocolate to me, but not sure as the chocolate leather that I've got looks a bit different ... slightly more chestnutish. Hopefully others will know more!

Hmm, I do know that Jackie used to carry what's called, chocolate glossy. That reminds me of that color very much!

I'm not sure if she's bringing it back next year. But, it was a lovely color!

The new chocolate matte replaced it!

Well, if you like it, you can buy it at Ann's Fabulous Finds sometime very soon -- you can contact her to ask her exactly when! I have been hounding her about BE bags and she kindly sent me this new pic. I just ordered an RM bag in an almost identical color and I really want a SM instead, so I will have to pass on this one. I hope someone here snags it, because it's gorgeous!

It looks like the old matte chocolate, which was lighter and greyer with more of a natural "texture". The current matte chocolate is a deeper warmer brown and not as matte as the previous version (it gets shinier with use). To me it doesn't look like the old choc. glossy leather, which was much darker and shinier.

I agree - it's the original old matte chocolate - this was my second BE bag colour - TMA in matte chocolate. I recognize it.
