Default Miu Miu Coffer.. Fumo or Grafite??? Have you seen them?
Hello everybody, has anyone seen IRP the new fumo vs. the grafite color? I'd love to add a grey coffer to my collection but I haven't seen them IRP yet. From the pictures it seems like the grafite is the "real grey" while the fumo is more brownish?

Well, I own a Fumo bow. It's dark grey with a bit of purple color. Depending on the light it can look a bit brownish but to me I think it's purplish grey I haven't seen the grafite IRL though.

I like Fumo better....Grafite seems a bit lighter...and I don't feel Fumo has brown undertones....which on do you think you like better?

The thing is that I'd like a DARK grey....looking at the pictures for me it looks like grafite is actually darker than fumo...but I am not sure..

Grafite (or Graphite, I think it is) is darker and has brown undertones. Fumo is a bit lighter and has purple undertones- I actually find it quite purpley. Graphite is a truer gray IMHO.

i think the fumo is the best =) the dark grey is so appealing with the purple tinges under certain lighting

Thian:

I posted a picture with both grafite and fumo under my fumo shopper thread...so if you still need a comparison between the 2 colours. Hope it helps...

Francis, I think the grafite you have in your coffer with silver hardware is a different shade than the one with gold hardware...I could be wrong but that's how I remember it...

I could be wrong but it just doesn't seem the same to me...I dont' know if it's the material the bags are made of...

here's a grafite coffer with gold hardware...it looks a bit different to me than the one you have...

butterfly:

Was looking at the coffers on the diabro website that you posted. From their pictures....grafite and fumo looks like one is darker shade of the other.... (at least to me)

hhmm... maybe you are right. the key is the material. IIRC, the one I have is in lambskin then diabro states that the grafite coffer is in calfskin.

Hope I'll get to see a grafite calfskin IRL... but its enough greys for me for now. purse ban!
