I have a magnolia B25 and absolutely love it. It's not a barbie pink though it is bright - it has purple/mauve tones in certain lights as well and is beautiful to look at. I think both are year-round colours especially in a small size such as a b25 because they are bright pops of colour and go well with virtually everything, especially if you wear lots of neutral clothes. RP was AW2017 and magnolia is SS18 so I guess you could say RP is harder to get as they do not make the colour anymore. Pinks are very youthful and I know a few ladies who are in their 50s and trying to by more and more pink Hermes bags. Either way, you can't go wrong as both are lovely colours! Here is a comparison on Instagram from priveporter which I found helpful when deciding on Magnolia:

I own a k28 magnolia and this summer was my favorite bag... It's very stylish with everything and I have seen many winter clothes with this color inside for the next season too! Anyway both will be a great choice, you wont be wrong in any case.

I had an option of Rose poupre Kelly and Magnolia Birkin. I ended up choosing Magnolia beacuse, I already have purple group covered.
And I wanted to add bright / hot Pink in my collection.
Although its a pop colour, I wear it fall/winter...because as I wear neutral tones or dark coloured clothes during in F/W, little bit of pop bag/shoes brings up the winter blues!!! Only IMO
Here is a picture I took during Fall :smile:

Good luck deciding!!

Depends on what you are looking for. RP is more subtle, while Magnolia is bright. So you do prefer a more subtle color, or do you prefer something bright?
Can't go wrong here, go for the one that works best for you and that makes your heart sing. Good luck!
Love the ring in your avatar btw!

So sorry I am late to reply back, it has been hectic. Just wanted to thank each one of your for your help and opinion :heart: they were very helpful. Both colours are so beautiful in person and I had a hard time deciding, but choose Rose Pourpre at the end :amuse: Very happy with my decision. That said if I have a chance to get a Kelly in Magnolia later on I will jump on it!!

Here is my baby B in Rose Pourpre:

I'm late in replying but I was going to tell you to go with that you know and love. Looks like you did just that! Congrats on your beautiful new bag!
 
Rose P is somewhat darker than Magnolia, and it would be fine in all seasons of the year. Magnolia is more of a spring/summer color. That said, I wouldn’t mind having at least one of each color.:smile:
Enjoy your Rose P!
