Minda,
What a coincidence, I just bought a large camel veneta in HK a couple of weeks ago! It was HKD 13,900, which is roughly USD 1800. I was torn about the color as well - should I go for a classic color that never goes on sale, or get a color that I love? I was contemplating between Noce and Camel but I ended up getting Camel. Yes, I could have bought it at a cheaper price elsewhere (in the US or UK) but I knew it will never go on sale in Korea. And it was much cheaper than what I would have to pay in Korea anyway...
Camel is such a beautiful color and I have no regrets about it
So I say go for it!
