Default She's Here! Miss Armatura!!!!!
She is soooo beautiful! Definitely more bronze than the pewter I remember but gorgeous just the same and very different from my Ottone :) Here goes....

Oh, BL...you are making me crazy! This does look like the elephant color in the comparison picture. Is it just the lighting? Your doggies are soooo cute!

BIchon, I LOVE armatura...
I once thought i couldnt do metallics, but i've discovered i'd be happy to do high-end metallics...
Armatura is my fav of the three... such a nice bag...
I love your comments in the pics... your doggies seem to be used to constant arrival of packages...
WE need some more of your gorgeous modeling pics...

Thanks newbaglover, jmcadon and mariabdc

It is the original Armatura, the color code is 1203.

I just talked to Bryan and he said this original is a black base with a silver/pewter/ bronze metallic overlay.

The Elephant Armatura is a Truffle base (dark brown) with an Elephant (ash like) pearlized metallic overlay and it is definitely warmer in color than the original and closer to the color ash. More brown with a touch of pink in it. There definitely are no pink under tones IRL to the original that I have.

Wow! I love all your photos, and the comparison photos are so useful, too.

I had no idea that any of the original armatura bags were still available!! I am excited for you. Congratulations!

Congrats on your GORGEOUS piece!

I just ordered the Elephant Armatura. It will be my first metallics so I won't have comparison pics but I'll do my best to show it off well. I love your Armatura. I may end up purchasing both if there's enough of a difference between the 2. What do you ladies think?

Bichon Lover,

Your pictures are absolutely wonderful. It is always so interesting to see what the colors look like with different lighting.

You have some fabulous looking bags!!
