wow i love both the teal and dark green!! there's something to be said about how richly the lambskin takes to the dyes. have you already posted a pic of your flap family somewhere? would love to see all your bags in one shot!

OMG.

The turquoise is gorgeous, I'm normally not very adventurous and only generally like the black Jumbo but this is TDF.

You lucky, lucky lady!!

Don't think so... They feel pretty much the same, at least to me. But I did notice they have different Y codes.

Yeah, G. I think teal is more suitable for this bag than Chanel's labeling of turquoise. The brooch was actually a gift from my sis bought from Jason. Did you happen to check out the accessories on sale when you were at B? They had necklaces in same theme too. I kind of wanted the one with purple crystals but sis said "It's too hip hop." Argh! But now I'm back, I'm costantly regretting I should have grab the purple necklace~ Larkie posted her clear one in the accessory reference thread.

PS, this might be your "first" jumbo, but it definitely won't be your last!
Jenn, even though I love my newest baby, I think I'd love the turquoise from cruise even more. I'd still have to see it in real life but I think that's a fab color. This turquoise is deeper with LOT more green in real life.

Would you say the color looked very much like this wallet (taken from the BG look book)?



Darker IRL? Lighter? Ohhh, and most importantly, are you getting it haha?
Hmmm... I'd say it's pretty much same to the pic. But it looks sooooo shiny and bolder when it's on a bag than a wallet. I mean I know it's patent and it's supposed to be shiny but it was super ultra shiny! PLEASE don't kill me for saying I liked your (and Jenn's) burgundy patent or Larkie's chocolate patent better. It's just my opinion. I think it's the kind of bag you really have to see in real life and consider.

The good news is, now that I saw it in real life, I can say size won't really matter. Granted I didn't get to see the medium one, but with its vivid and bold color, I don't think medium one would be any less eye catching. I think you can wear the jumbo pretty well with your fab style.

Vivian: I'm guessing bleu fonce would be much more lighter, almost pastelly with hints of gray. Aren't Chanel bleu fonce usually likely that? I believe BG would be getting bleu fonce soon. (Only in med lamb though)

Akina : It was $2850.
