Default Comparison of wine shades: raspberry, bordeaux & tinted wine
I thought I'd share the following info. from Ignacio re: comparisons among raspberry, bordeaux, and tinted wine leathers:

Structure/Texture:
The bordeaux and raspberry leathers are structured, while the tinted wine is soft. The tinted wine is also glossier than the bordeaux and the raspberry.

Color:
There's also a difference in color, with the tinted wine and the raspberry having more red in them than the bordeaux, and the bordeaux having more purple. The raspberry has a few lighter spots that could be considered a stronger pink factor, though they are not pink per se.

You know, Euridice, you are right. In fact, that was the photo that Maria labeled as Aubergine w/ me, if I remember right.

I love the raspberry color! Especially with the brushed gold hardware. Did Ignes ever get the gun metal hardware?

I asked Ignacio about gunmetal the other day and he said that it is currently not available. He said that it has been delayed for a few months.
