...the mystery grey color is... GUNMETAL

I seriously LOVE this color! Maria said that the last minute change to Gunmetal (last minute as in -get this- LAST WEEK) "really suited it"...

Details:
Aubergine w/ Gunmetal leather braid
Pink fabric lining
silver hardware
no studs
hidden zipper
I think I requested as close to matching stitching and sealant...I forget!

Yes, I know aubergine is a structured leather... but I could only see it in a mini-E for me...glad to be the guinea pig on this!

No words...just a wet, drool covered keyboard.

Utterly gorgeous!!! I wish we could see a close up of the braids! The gunmetal should be amazing. Did you pick it?

irainei · Aug 19th, 2009, 03:24 PM

I know; I wish I could have seen the braids up close too

I got back from my event and was browsing the list of leathers and saw that gunmetal was added on there, so I asked if I could switch it and they were able to. Originally, I was going to be using an A/W grey leather (127), but saw gunmetal (didn't think they still had it)...and sold! Amazing team they have over there! Holy cow.

...the switch also also caused me to order another bag (because of course, I browsed...):X... but that I probably won't see until a few weeks from now since they were ordered separately.

Wow... gorgeous combo!! Can't wait to see the braid close up!

elizat · Aug 19th, 2009, 04:56 PM

Oh, that is really pretty! I like that combo a lot. I really like the aubergine leather too.

Euridice · Aug 19th, 2009, 05:15 PM

AMAZING!! I was surprised to see teh aubergine there looking so perfection in the mini E style! And that braid is beyond gorgeous, man, they need to send a pic of the braid!! Great design choices, Irainie!!!! I think it is superb, and how have I made it this far in life without a bag in this exact color???? So loverly, congrats!

lionlaw · Aug 19th, 2009, 09:46 PM

WOWSERS. Love the combo.

No Cute · Aug 19th, 2009, 09:48 PM

Beautiful! Gunmetal is awesome and will be so great in the braids with aubergine! Can't wait until you get it!

starkfan · Aug 19th, 2009, 09:50 PM

Ooh, that looks really good! Gunmetal goes very well with aubergine! It's stunning, congrats!

kings_20 · Aug 19th, 2009, 09:52 PM

All I can say is "WOW!" Stunning bag!

kuwa · Aug 19th, 2009, 09:55 PM

Beautiful bag! That aubergine is such a lovely, rich color.

sillykitty · Aug 19th, 2009, 10:06 PM

Mmmm.. Dark Purple and Gunmetal ...it'd be the perfect Kings bag. (I'm a Kings fan as well....)

irainei · Aug 19th, 2009, 10:53 PM

Thanks everyone!!! Aubergine is truly a beautiful color...just like GIB, it caught my eye immediately!

It's such a tease...seeing the hint of gunmetal...but not having the braid photo! LOL

Dark purple and gunmetal...mmm...that sounds divine too SK
