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.

The bordeaux is......well, purple!!!! Wow! Love it!

Euridice · Jan 21st, 2009, 01:50 AM

but Ignes photos are notorious....is it really THAT purple?? I'm suddenly craving grape juice!

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?

Euridice · Jan 21st, 2009, 10:57 AM

I do LOVE that bordeaux.....yikes, I'm getting tempted now, too!

newbaglover · Jan 21st, 2009, 12:58 PM

I think I remember for the previous threads: bordeaux=aubergine

Still no traces of gunmetal harware :(

Euridice · Jan 21st, 2009, 01:06 PM

newbaglover · Jan 21st, 2009, 01:14 PM

Oh, where has you read this? I want this harware SO much! I would be deligthed if it is available now! ( Still have in my mind the tinted blue with gunmetal HW)

No Cute, did you say gunmetal is available?? Otherwise, I might have dreamt that.

JRed · Jan 21st, 2009, 03:05 PM

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.

newbaglover · Jan 21st, 2009, 03:15 PM

oh! It was too good to be true...:(

No Cute · Jan 21st, 2009, 04:00 PM

Ya, I said it. I thought it was then it wasn't...but it never was, right? Sorry. I really want(ed) a raspberry Veronica with gunmetal hardware.
