I vote for the brown. You already bought a yellow one for when you need something to brighten up your day! I think brown is chic and easy to wear as an everyday color.
I know I'm a bit late to the party but I'm still showing up! 
In my opinion, the 23A NO205 light brown is THE underdog hero of 23A. I mean. I mean. I mean. That cognac-y, caramel-ly, dark butter-y brown! I WANT TO EAT IT!
And I know it has many fans here... like @XCCX (love ALL the pieces you picked up. ALL!), @DDCHA (totally agree with you... this season's brown is better than NM356!), @PursePeace (your jumbo is divine! and thanks for the comparison pics! omg... that NM372 is really something!), @Mya42 (gasp, your caviar flap is
... sooo much nicer than black IMO), @flyingfree27 (a coco handle in this colour sounds perfect! did you end up adding a 2nd brown to your collection? hehe) and @allilollipop (congrats on your mini handle! I agree... the brown and yellow go so well together!).
So I couldn't resist this brown and ended up getting 2 pieces. This is the 1st time I'm buying 2 bags from the same season. I never do that! My 1st piece was the Duma backpack and I thought I was done. Then I got the chance to add the Mini 22 and I just couldn't pass up on that brown! I'm glad I didn't pass up on it because when I went home and looked at both of them, I realised that the brown shows up differently on lambskin and calfskin. Well, who would've thought! Anyway, here they are in all their caramel-y goodness! I can't decide which I like better - lambskin or calfskin. Hmmm...

Since I was at it, I thought I'd take a comparison pic with my 22A caramel C19. Can anyone remember what the colour code for the 22A caramel was?
Thought I'd compare the hardware as well!
23A Duma - shiny light gold hardware
23A Mini 22 - matte gold hardware (antique gold?? pls correct me if I'm wrong!)
22A C19 - matte gold hardware

This is tough because both colours are
. But since you already have that lovely mustard yellow, I'd go for the brown for some variety! Let us know which you ended up getting!
Anyone has seen this slingbacks in flats please? Would love to see a photo, TIA!
Beautiful collection! 22A brown/Caramel color is NB356. I was going to get the exact C19 bag and noted the color code.
Congratulations on such stunning pieces!!! I was in the same boat lol and could not resist! Just a small correction if you allow me, the 22 bag is actually calfskin not lambskinI know I'm a bit late to the party but I'm still showing up!

OMG thanks for correcting me! I didn't know it was calfskin because it feels so soft!!! Oh no... I can't edit my posts anymore.
I hope everyone reads your post!
Lovely pics! So far I haven’t managed to add a second bag in this brown, your brown duma is what I want for a second brown bag, but doubt the boutique still has any more stocks coming in, I’ll just leave it to fate if it does show up suddenly~~I know I'm a bit late to the party but I'm still showing up!

Thank you! And aha! NB356! Thanks for letting me know.
Thank you! Keeping my fingers crossed a duma comes your way!
I like the 22A NB356 in the CFs the most. But I also think all seasons have their beauty. I have both the 22A CF and the 21K NB356 C19 and love both shades of brown ☺️. Love your collection thanks for sharing pictures
Aww thanks! Yes you're right. There are gems in every season and there's a brown for everyone!
You're lucky to have both the 21K and 22A browns. Do you see a difference between the 2?
