Hello everyone!
I have been taking a serious look at my wardrobe (both clothing AND my lovely Hermes) and am trying to pick the perfect shade of brown for my next acquisition.
I do not wear brown clothing, and have a navy/charcoal based wardrobe. I tried an Etoupe picotin because of all the raves about Etoupe here (and, of course, our lovely MaiTai...), but it just did NOT work with me the way that I had hoped --- so another bag that I sadly need to part with.
I have some Barenia (love it!) that I wear in the summer and will wear a bit this autumn, but I am looking for the shade of brown that is closest (identical if possible) to a pair of boots that I own and works with EVERYTHING in my closet.
I tried looking in the brown leather reference thread, but got overwhelmed due to the differences due to leather and photograph lighting. Hence the reason for making a separate post.
Attached is a photograph of some charcoal wool, along with my Barenia Picotin strap, a moc-croc cuff that I like the color of and the shaft of my favorite boots for reference.
I'd appreciate any suggestions in both color name and leather type (since the colors can look different depending on the leather).
Cheers!
Dagny
