You all know the last time I became enamoured of a colour was "Duchesse" (Cervo). What can you all tell me about Alabaster (Cervo)? What year was it? Was it only available in Europe or did the US have a limited supply? LOVE this color!

Alabastre was Fall/Winter 2013. Might have been introduced for Resort '13 or maybe it carried over to Resort '14? I can't remember. I will have one more cup of coffee, then I will know ;)

EDIT TO ADD: I don't think it was released in Europe or Asia only, as the Cervo Loop in this colour was available in the US. But, I am not a Sales Associate, so you could maybe e-mail one and ask.

Thanks, S. I know you told me via text, but this way we have it recorded here for posterity.
 
How does Alabastre differ from Oyster? I can't always tell on the computer screen. Is one a pearly grey and one brighter white?
Actually, Alabastre seems to be more creamy - think very very light tan overtone, as opposed to grey. My new Alabastre is coming to me from Sweden; I'll do a reveal when she gets here!

It opens the door for something better and more fantastic.
Where one door closes, another one opens...

*did Yoda even say that? or is that from Karate Kid? IDK, I've seen neither :oh:

I can see a movie night coming up - I must get you up to speed.

And neither said it - it was part of a great quote by Alexander Graham Bell:

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.


OH - you mean "Patience, Grasshopper" - that was "Patience, young grasshopper" from the 70s show, "Kung Fu".

Speaking of oddities: Just got around to watching "The Lone Ranger", the one with Johnny Depp - Holy Cow, is that a good movie. "Nature is definitely out of balance".;);)
 
Funnily enough, a few days before India first posted about this color, I spyed an Albaster Cervo Loop Hobo. I know I like the style and recall seeing the color in the boutique. Based on comments here and Bagreedy's endorsement (I like your style A!), I was lucky enough to score the bag (and at a smokin' deal too)! It will be perfect for an easy spring bag!

Glad you scooped that up - I saw it and was tempted, but - it's too much for me, but I already know that style works for you, perfectly! Do post a modeling shot when she arrives!
 
The Alabaster Cervo Loop arrived. It's beautiful. Feels lighter than other loop hobos and the color is warm yet clean. Has more yellow than stock photos. I find its a bit big worn this way.
