Stunning. Congrats for you S&B. Do post some pics when you get it. :)

Reflect cabat is TDF... I'm so happy for you that you got HK's last quota.

Does anyone (that probably means you, doloresmia

) know if the belly will be produced again in the fall? It seems like that bag became wildly popular, and would be even better in some of those gorgeous fall colors...

GO UCLABOI!

Yay! please be my bag twins, uclaboi! But the reflect cabat only comes in medium size, would that be too tiny for you? :P

Thanks, pcarol & spendalot, I have the mission to take lots of pictures and post them here!

It IS like grey mother-of-pearl! Wow.

Shopaholic&baby - I'm finally realizing that you got this. Congratulations!! I can't wait to see your photos!

doloresmia · May 29th, 2009, 02:11 PM

shopaholic&baby - can you describe, is reflect like a tahitian pearl or is she more purpley IRL?

annie9999 · May 29th, 2009, 03:55 PM

If I remember correctly because I saw if a couple of months ago- it was more purpley and the effect is similar to peltro- I think it is the nappa fumé.
It is really quite extraordinary. I believe if is nappa so it will be light weight.

I saw a bunch of new bags and colors/leather treatments in SF today.

* Matita is now more of a graphite color. Still lovely, but it is not the black with specks of metallic graphite we saw last season.

* New color Mineral is like a pearlescent ivory.

* THere is a new "hammered" treatment to the leather, giving it flat surfaces. It adds texture to the leather which is interesting but personally it didn't appeal to me.

* Lilac and grape look like almost the same color IMO, very subtle difference between them.

* New stretch knots made from grosgrain-impressed satin are TDF!

* Uluru is very orange IMO.

* Bramble is a nice light burgundy-ish shade.

* I was told the Reflect cabat has lavender undertones but is not overtly lavender. One is on hold for a friend of mine.

I am a trifle colorblind so your mileage may vary.

Bramble and Reflect Cabat sounds appealing !!!
