Curry or Rosy IRL?

Kelly Kelly · Jul 4th, 2008, 03:35 AM

Are curry and rosy as beautiful IRL as they seem? What great colors!
They would look good with anything!

IMO curry is absolutely gorgeous, I would love my first birkin to be in curry (a girl can dream)

I saw a Dogon wallet in curry in the store and that was gorgeous too, although I am holding out for a bearn wallet instead

I agree with MsB, curry is gorgeous and doesn't remind me of Indian yellow curry at all! It's also a lovely tone that could work year round. In winter paired with blacks it would be a spot of sunshine on a dreary day, without having that golden bumble bee look. I wish I hadn't turned down a Curry yellow Kelly I saw a couple of months ago.

I've only seen Rosy in accessories, so I didn't try it on or create a picture in my head. However, the pics I have seen of it lead me to believe it is a versatile color going with darker clothes and lighter clothes easily.

I am waiting for my first birkin. I ordered back in March in curry togo with ghw.

Ms Birkin · Jul 4th, 2008, 11:17 AM

Lucky you - I am so envious, I am sure it will be everything you want and more...... here's dreaming

creamykitty · Jul 4th, 2008, 11:44 AM

Thanks Ms Birkin.
I haven't heard from my SA yet. Hope I will get the bag before price increase.

Both colors are rich and elegant IRL. You can't go wrong....

I love them both. I have curry in a 31 mou Bolide and rosey in a 35 swift Birkin. They are great neutrals!

amytude · Jul 4th, 2008, 07:05 PM

Curry looks awesome! I can't personally carry "cool" colors (like rosy), but can rock the warm tones! I would consider curry in a lindy (right now, doesn't curry only come in clemence?).

Sounds absolutely dreamy!! PH or GH? I can't stop thinking about Brooke Sheilds' rosy birkin with GH.

I just saw a 35 Birkin in curry with GHW, it looked great on the owner. Personally I can wear Rosy better. Have seen Kelly Pouchettes, Kellys and wallets. It looks fantastic on a Lindy too.

I've only seen curry IRL -- some lovely kellys at Wall St. -- it is a beautiful color.

Here is a pic of my Rosy 30cm w/ PH. IRL Rosy has this chameleon character. In some lights it carries a sheen about it, almost metallicky. In other light, it has some very faint brown undertones. In other light, it looks REALLY coral. I love this color. You see so few around that it makes me love it even more!! As for curry, I cannot do yellows, so the curry color does not interest me in a handbag. I have seen it in a karo, and to me, it really does look like the color of curry. Again, I am not a yellow person, so perhaps that is why it falls flat to me. But rosy...oh so rosy...

What a gorgeous bag, Hermesmonkey! I hope they will have something in Rosy when I go to NY in a few weeks!

I have seen both colours IRL. A Curry Gao and a Rosy Lindy, at separate occasions. To be fair, both are lovely colours.

Personally I prefer Curry, which to me is like a muted paler mustard colour. I was very surprised it works as a neutral (goes with black, white, blue, green, red, grey etc). It's a rather understated colour neutral, if there's such a thing as a colour neutral, LOL.

Rosy is a pretty colour and like what HM mentioned, has some brown undertones. As it's a coral like colour, it would also has some peachy-ness in it which does not work for my complexion.

Between the 2 colours for a handbag/purse, I think Curry would require less thinking/work in terms of wear/matching.
