Hi I am not sure if I should be get a Dark Brown BV Hobo or Noce (is this camel brown)? Can someone share with me? thank you

CaliforniaGal · Sep 22nd, 2009, 02:18 AM

I share your feeling about this .. (so now I have one of each color!) The brown (ebano) looks a little dressier just because it's dark. And will hide marks? Noce is discontinued so you have to search more for that color .. on eBay or maybe a few still in stores??? There is a "camel" also, which is lighter than Noce.

Noce means walnut in Italian, but sometimes people call it hazelnut, too. There are two colors of dark brown. Ebano is like a milk chocolate color, Moro is like dark chocolate. All three are YUM!

You may want to have a look at the truffles colors too ... yum yum

It's a personal preference between the medium brown and the dark brown. I prefer the
Ebano myself--I think the intrecciato shows best in that color, though it's certainly beautiful in any color!

I say it's probably best to go and try on the colours in the store. Both are great colours and I had a hard time choosing myself. Ended up with moro but that sure doesn't rule out getting something in noce later on

You might want to consider truffle/ash too. All very lovely colours.

Thank you ladies for your sound advice! Never know the shades of brown are so interesting...All simply "delicious"! Yum yum
aaa_1188, the bag in picture is truffles? look absolutely classy. May I know what style is this?

Juda · Sep 22nd, 2009, 10:36 PM

Ebano is my favorite BV color
If you are planning on getting more than one BV maybe you should start with Noce (since it is being discontinued) and get Ebano later.
I wouldn't even have suggested buying Noce over Ebano before I bought a Noce veneta, that' when I realized why it is such a popular color

If you are planning on getting only one, Ebano gets my vote.

wendionion · Sep 22nd, 2009, 11:25 PM

Hi Juda, any chance you could post your two bags? Noce v Ebano...still in dilemna...

springrabbit · Sep 22nd, 2009, 11:35 PM

i like the classic Ebano ...

Juda · Sep 23rd, 2009, 12:11 AM

Since you are also interested in ash.

Ash Scuro -Nero - Ebano - Noce

Juda · Sep 23rd, 2009, 12:16 AM

Ash Scuro - Ebano - Noce
Noce
Ebano

Juda · Sep 23rd, 2009, 12:25 AM

Ebano - Noce

CaliforniaGal · Sep 23rd, 2009, 12:46 AM

Ah I love the scientific research! ... thanks for those, Juda!

wendionion · Sep 23rd, 2009, 12:49 AM

OMG! Juda, thank you so much! you are a darling, so prompt to deliver...
And Ash Scuro and Ebano got my votes! although all are beautiful colours of brown. You
are a lucky girl, embracing them all...
Now I would have sleepless nights thinking of these colours, raking my gray area which one to go for.
And I agree with Boxermom, medium brown and dark brown won't seem to go wrong. It's like evergreen..infinity beyond
