The NAVY LUXE MAB is in my LIVING ROOM!

daniela127 · Aug 29th, 2008, 12:57 PM

It just got here from LB. I do not 100% know how I feel about the color, but the bag itself is PERFECT. As for color, here are the pics, taken in my living room. I will try to go outside and take some in natural light, but there is a lot of construction, and I don't want my bag to get hit by flying dust.

I just looked at litterock's thread about the blues, and the bag *does* look like the Ollie color, maybe one half-shade more blue.

I used to have a royal MAM and it's totally different. The royal was a blue blue, some people almost thought it was purple. The navy is blue, no mistaking it for purple.

The first pic is no flash, the second is with flash. Honestly, the color is between the two. I know that's no help!

Lovely, lovely! And I appreciate the pics with and without flash. Congrats!

The leather looks so yummy! Congrats on your new bag!!

Beautiful bag! Not as dark still as I anticipated but I think I will end up liking it if it's close to the blue in your first pic. Thanks for the pics! How do you feel about the leather?

daniela127 · Aug 29th, 2008, 01:25 PM

The leather is a bit glossy, kind of what I've seen on the dark brown. Does anyone have a dark brown bag? Does the leather break in?

I really like the color. Thanks for sharing...

GAH!!!!!! it's gorgeous!!!

where did you order this from????

MrsShoeGal · Aug 29th, 2008, 01:38 PM

Now that first pic is more what I thought this color would be like! GORGEOUS!!!

daniela127 · Aug 29th, 2008, 01:48 PM

I ordered from lunaboston. I don't know if they have anymore, give them a call.

I'm still on the fence. I wish the leather was pebbled and matte and darker. But I do want a MAB, and this is my favorite color of the offerings this season.

I think it's gorgeous- please tell us you're keeping it?

The leather looks a bit glazed, is that what you're not loving about it?

I think it's really beautiful. And I agree, the color here in these two photos does look dark similar to the Ollie pic.

I have the mam in dark brown and one of the reasons I like this leather is how it breaks in. The sheen wears off and the leather develops a patina. I think it gets more beautiful with use!

It's beautiful, but what it isn't is a deep, midnight, true navy.
