That was a bit of a splurge! Yikes! I have one in Mahogany (I have a very small collection) that I love and just completely lost any sense of practicality when I saw this one. I can’t wait to see the color in person, especially after the bath! I can’t tell if it’s British Tan or, my favorite, Camel.

It's an Equestrian Flap Shopper from 1998 and the color is probably Toffee. The color shown on the interior or the creed patch is usually the closest to real life. I believe Toffee is darker in person than in the catalog photo, but you'll know when you get it. British Tan and Camel aren't listed as color choices in the catalogs I have for the Equestrian styles. Not all colors were available in every style line.

Thank you, Hyacinth, for going above and beyond! Toffee? Even better when it’s a candy name!
