Cat_uk, welcome back to the forum, I am so pleased to hear you had a good time and a chance to do some shopping (also Chloé!)! The grenat patent betty is a gorgeous bag, I aslo considered getting one, but I have just luckily managed to purchase a black patent betty, so it would be too close... and even though I love the grenat colour, I will get to use the black one much more often than a red one.... I'm not ready yet for a really colourful bag, but maybe soon... did you think the grenat would have been a good colour to wear?
