my 1st thread because only you can help.
I've gone thru the leather & colour references, as well as member's items to have an overview.

I am now deliberating on the next H bag and it is the Kelly that I would like.

Colour : rouge
(but there are so many tones :- H, Garance, VIF & Vermillion)

Leather: i like to own something that I haven't got, therefore not box, not clemence & not togo

Your suggestions & inputs please.

Thanks very much.

Could you give us more info such as the colours you normally wear, your style, etc.? Do you prefer retoure or sellier kelly?

Here's my personal favourite. Rouge H chamonix kelly with white stitching. Hello has one in 28cm and she looks beautiful carrying her chamonix kelly (post#11541).

Thanks Lilach, LTC & GF for your comments.

I am asian with darker skin. I take autumn colours better, hardly in pastels. Sometimes funky, sometimes classy.
This will be my only red bag i guess. Sellier (in-stitch), i guess for work & leisure.

Thought vermillion is too bright but in mysore, it tones down nicely.

Beautiful! On chamonix, i don't see that much brown undertones.
I will skip retourne as it is more structured.

On the degree of brightness, is vermillion brighter than VIF?

vermillion has more orange to it than vif (in my opinion - I keep having to say that, these days). Retourne is the inside stitching - the pic you have above is sellier.

I also think rouge H in chamonix has brown undertones, but again....in my opinion.....

i agree with GF (as usual) with one exception while it is true that vermillion is on the orangey side of the spectrum in swift leather it is less prominent then in togo
rouge vif is the perfect pinkish red in fjord
with rouge H in chamonix (and box) it is tricky that is a color i do find very inconsistent it can vary from burgundy brownish red to a clear true merlot red depending on the batch of leather and the year it was produced.
