hi ladies.. a few have asked about how dark the plomb actually is.. so i took these pics this morning and i find them pretty accurate. this is natural light, no flash.

hope this helps!

the top picture with the two buckles is closest to the window, and most looks like the bag when outside in brighter light.
the other two pictures are taken more inside my living room away from the window and more look like the bag when in room light...

oh wow, i will have to look into the doll hospital. didn't even know one existed here. i just got into blythe dolls dec of last year, so i'm pretty much a newbie.

wow your black work looks like it has very nice smooth leather. i just bought one last month from ss 07 as well. can't wait for mine to break in.

Yeah, but faded black is just what some of us are looking for. Dark blacks are great - but as I get older, I find them a bit harsh as an accessory for daytime. We were just watching a nicely produced HBO drama last night, and the interior decor had a couple of layers of black - very dark to faded, combined with some reds and oranges - very sophisticated.

And, I have a picture of one tPFer and her all-black outfit (different tones of black though) wearing her white very slouchy work bag and it's TDF, the way the white sets off those shades of black.

The plomb reminds me of my darling anthracite, but without the blue. And while I love anthracite, it is necessary sometimes to wear something other than a blue bag!

Thanks for posting the pictures, Toni, you're making me rethink my fall buying strategies - plomb is a very interesting choice.
