I braved winterstorm DESTINY(echo, echo. echo) to pick up my two new-to-me babies.
Meet Bordeaux ZC(courtesy of a lovely TPF'er) and Light Petrol ZC. Score!
Bordeaux goes in Bordeaux Stam and Light Petrol will live inside Topaz stam.
^Nope, the bordeaux in PW is much brighter and more red(not to mention shiny). The zc(which is soft calf right?) has more blue in it and is a tad darker. The nylon binding around the zipper is also a different color so as to match their respective leathers. I don't really care though because both are such gorgeous saturated colors. I almost always buy red wallets(the light petrol will be my first non-red in a long time) and this is perhaps the most versatile red shade I have ever owned. Totally in .
But if it would really bother you to have your ZC not match exactly then I would compare IRL before you buy.
I will try to post a pick of the 2 together so you can compare.
P.S. the Light petrol is not quite as bright as in the pic, its an extremely rich and saturated jewel tone.
I know right? The new ones don't have it either (they have the little stamped leather nameplate thingy). There is not an interior zip compartment so I guess you are supposed to use the front pockets for change. This might annoy me, but I love the color so much that I think I'm going to try to live with it.
