I guess I'm a bit disappointed, because I was expecting it to be closer to the original. What I really love about the '05 magenta is the DEPTH of the color ... it's not just one flat color ... it's a mix of pink and purple ... jewel-like tones. Hard to describe exactly what it is, but it is just a joy to behold...eye candy. I also miss the shiny finish.
The new magenta is flat...matte, and no depth. Still a beautiful color, but the magic is gone.
I guess it was too good to be true that the new Magenta would be an exact duplicate of the old.
Don't get me wrong---I'm keeping my bag. I love it, and I don't want to sound ungrateful. BUT it's definitely NOT what I expected.
