I have recently bought a Mahina in Grey, but it sometines in full sun, the colour seems like an olive colour. Is there anyone out there who has a similiar problem?

Do you mean the elephant grey? It does change under different light, but I don't mind.

That's what I love about the elephant gris -- the different hues in the color -- so gorgeous!!

Did you mean the Gris or Elephant grey? I did have a problem with my Mahina XL gris but did not notice until much later. The front and back panel came from 2 different animal, the grains on the leather were very different and hence affected the colour. The front being much lighter, almost creamy white and the back is a darker grey. Not pleased at all but too late to do anything about it. It is not very noticeable but I can be pedantic with my bags.

LV does that with a lot of their bags and colors. I love that. Like their vernis amarante and bleu nuit look different in every light.
