Magenta has never ever tickled my fancy - until stumbling across these modelling pics, I nearly died!

Is it really THAT purple?

I'm off my Purse Ban in 6 months, and I'm thinking about an 07' LE Miss Magenta now!

It's will probably be impossible to get my hands on one late this year though :Push:... but I do love a challenge :graucho:

So, the question. Is it seriously wearable? If so, what colours/kinds of outfits do you wear it with? Did anyone purchase a LE Magenta and then regret/sell it?

PS - Thanks ladydeluxe for the pics & inspiration :heart:

My '07 LE is not that purple...I think my avatar pic is pretty true to color. If you want a more purpley magenta, I think you'd be happier with the '05...but of course that's even HARDER to find.

05?? :Push:

The purple in that particular pic I found was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G... but I was never a fan till I saw that exact pic.

Maybe it was just a one-off that came out like that or the colours in the photo are a little more vibrant than IRL?
 
I also think it's usually more pink, with just purplish undertones. I remember that someone on here posted pics of a really purpley one, though. I was surprised because the color was so different from mine. There may be a few out there, but you'll have quite a hunt to find one...
 
I agree with Fiat and Kimberf, my LE is more to the pink side while my 05 is more purply..
Here are some of the comparison shots I took to show the difference though they are very similar..
HTH :smile:

WOW, thanks for the pics.

It varies soooo much. I really loved the vibrant purple colour that ladydeluxe's LE Magenta...

I'm starting to think finding one like ladydeluxe's will be almost impossible.

Ah well, it was a nice thought!

Thanks for all the advice/pics

I think it's VERY wearable. I love it against black or jeans but because it's a richer color I find it more wearable than the lighter more pastel colors. For example, it looks great with a bright blue or forest green even brown! It's just a nice splash of color.
Go for it!!! :tup:

Perhaps the colour variances between Ladydeluxe against mine and Fiat are due to the H/W..I always notice that the colour on RH is always darken than GH..:smile:
Don't know whether you have seen the VG in RH against VG in GGH..

Good luck "J" :nuts:
 
It seems that the FW08 magenta might have more purple in it if you can wait. The tiny swatch shows a color called Amethyst/Dark Magenta and it looks like a more purple based magenta.
 
I think Deana bought that beauty :girlsigh:

Yeppers! I scored that one!! I will share photos the moment she arrives!!

Here is my two cents on 05 Magenta. When it's new, 05 Magenta is a lot more purple than when it us used. I noticed that the sun changed my Magenta City to a more pink color, when I bought a new Magenta Box and I saw the two together. The City is still in mint to brand new condition, and I always used to take my photos outside in the CA sun, before I noticed it fading one of my BG Pink bags. But I actually really liked the fact that although I had two 05 Magenta bags, they were different colors. I have not seen the LE Magenta or 08 Magenta in real life, but from what I have seen and heard, 05 Magenta is more vibrant than the LE Magenta. I was scared off of the 08 Magenta, because of the overly distressed leather, but if I can find a smoother one like pf-er Antubella has, I would buy it in a second! I would love to see comparison photos of 05 Magenta, LE Magenta, and 08 Magenta all together, has anyone seen photos of those 3 together here on the pf?

Here are pictures of my 05 Magenta City and Box...
