This bag is so beautiful! The leather is super soft! It is a very deep navy blue with some sheen but not as much as appears in some of the photos. If you are thinking of a bag in this leather you will not be disappointed!

The second photo is most representative of the color!

Surprisingly, this leather is nearly the same color as my blue lambskin Chanel! The Ignes blue is not quite as soft as the lambskin, I think due to the sheen. The last one includes the free wristlet that I got for sending in a photo of my last Mini Sofia. Here are a few more photos!

Congrats, Sandy, that is a stunner! That leather is a wonderful color! I love the modifications w/ the chain handle and the longer drawstring. It turned out fabulous!

Gorgeous Sofia, Sandy! But all of your bags are! Congrats!!!

What leather is your wristlet? Very pretty.

sandysandiego · Jan 5th, 2009, 08:28 PM

Thank you Momo, Eli & NoCute! I put the Chanel in there because the leather is almost the same!

The wristlet is the same light grey as my first Mini Sofia w/chain handles!

I am on a ban for some time now, but in the future I might have to get a midi Sofia with the chain handles! Maybe in Mr. Puddles leather!

OMG that leather is gorgeous! Man, that is my 2nd favorite leather- my favorite being the purple cracked! WOW.

And it holds its own next to the beautiful chanel. I love the tinted blue. It's just like the tinted chocolate....it looks so nice in the sofia style, the smooth part AND the middle panel where it folds like that. We MUST have more tinted leathers from the same tannery!!!!

Congrats!!

Great bag and pics, sandysandiego! After seeing your pics, I can't help but want something in tinted leather!
