its a burnt orange. Its definitely not like a british tan. It looks orange, but a soft, earthy orange, not an electric tangerine orange. The caramel color is not really like british tan, either.

TE-

Do you have size specs on the Biker Babe bag yet? (spring 09-LOVE it!)

Tks!

tano expert · Sep 15th, 2008, 08:37 PM

nope- I have no spring specs, but thats around the same size as the bb to my recollection...

Do any of Tano's crossbody bags have the capacity of a Boogie?

tano expert · Sep 16th, 2008, 07:57 AM

by nature , cross body bags have to be sort of sleek and hug the body., so they cant have the same structure as a boogie with a wide base. A bag like 8 ball or Jeans addiction holds a lot, though.

Hi TE! I picked up some Meltonian Neutral shoe polish. So....now what should I do? I'm going to try to rejuvenate my pre-loved wallet. Thanks!

tano expert · Sep 16th, 2008, 05:26 PM

Apply it to a rag- not directly to the leather- then rub gently but evenly all over the item. Buff off extra and buff to polish dry.

You might need some color touch up on edges, etc... for that get a tarrago colored shoe cream. They are the best and cost just $3.

beeb · Sep 16th, 2008, 05:38 PM

HOLY MOLY TE!!!! Wow, what a difference! It could use some tarrago on the edges, I'm sure, but WOW, the shine is back & on many of the areas you can hardly tell! You're my hero.

REYNALD0C · Sep 16th, 2008, 09:26 PM

TE! I have a question out of these three Velvet Leather colors which do you think will become the most coveted in a couple years? Which will have people saying "Darn, I should have gotten something in that color!" Sable, Ruby and Amethyst.

Thanks!

tano expert · Sep 16th, 2008, 11:20 PM

oh wow... i could not guess.... Im still optimistic for the mink and emerald! I just saw some amber today and its gorgeous... but I also love the ruby, even though Im not usually a red bag fan.

REYNALD0C · Sep 17th, 2008, 12:25 AM

So wait TE, you think the Ruby might be the most coveted? I hope I didnt confuse you with my question.. I was asking out of Sable, Ruby and Amethyst which will be the color everyone wants now, and wants couple years down the road =]

Thanks again TE your the best.

tano expert · Sep 17th, 2008, 10:02 AM

oh sorry. rey... i sort of sidelined your question...

since these bags are just starting to hit stores now its kinda early for me to say. Anything purple is blowing out this season since its the hot color. but in the long run sable and ruby are classics. I dont know what will be the most coveted down the line... alll 3 are nice!

beeb · Sep 17th, 2008, 08:23 PM

TE, when you have a chance, do you think you could pull out one of your older bags & photograph it for us? I've never seen a well-loved, properly distressed TANO before. Thanks!

tano expert · Sep 17th, 2008, 08:41 PM

Do you know that Ive never posted any of my personal bags in 2000 posts and 2 years!! Its a project I've been meaning to do, but never seem to make time for...

MamaToJakers · Sep 17th, 2008, 08:57 PM

I would love to see your collection, TE!!!
