Thank you so much for posting these and sharing your thoughts! I just bought the ecru flap and it is by far my favorite in my collection. I have never seen a picture that captures the color correctly including my own photos in the best natural light! I am also contemplating this dark beige but again, like the ecru, I cannot get a good idea of the color in photos. Since you have so many neutrals, how would you say that the 23p dark beige compares to your others? Does 23p dark beige have an orange undertone? I also have many neutrals already so would only go for it if it was truly special. Thank you so much in advance for any info!!

I agree the ecru is also one of my favourites now! And I totally agree that it’s SO hard to photograph accurately!

I would say the 23P dark beige is very similar to 18S beige in that it’s a warm true caramel beige but it’s matt flat colour (as 18S was quite iridescent). It strongly reminds me of Hermes gold which is very warm but not orange. I prefer the champagne hardware against this colour compared to the combination of Hermes gold with the ghw as their hardware is very yellow and I find it too warm overall.

The caviar is the same as the other flaps this season, firm and well structured. I do think there is a very warm undertone but it’s not orange. 19B is much more neutral in comparison. I think if you have a caramel shade already then you don’t need the 23P but if you don’t then it’s a great one!

For me…my two favourites of this line up are the 23P Ecru and the 19B. Only because they are the most versatile and easy to style and I will get the most use out of them.
 
Yes, I just got the same bag, and mine is just like yours. It is aged hardware, so completely normal. I normally prefer shiny hardware, but the aged gold goes very well with the bag, plus there is less worry with aged gold hardware since it is already “distressed”.
And I am so happy with the handle detail - I think it is STUNNING :biggrin:
I saw this bag in dark pink yesterday. It was not on my radar, but I can’t stop thinking about that bag…. so I think I might go back and buy it today. The handle detail really adds personality to the bag!

Does anyone happen to have any comparison pics or thoughts about the 23p dark beige vs 22s caramel? I only saw one on Instagram but I have a brand new square mini caramel from 22S that I’m thinking about selling, which is crazy bc it was/is so sought after. The color on 22S is seriously to die for, but the size and handle of the mini rectangle is more practical. Am I crazy?

i agree with you on the mini rectangle. I was offered a couple of mini squares in the past seasons but I passed on all of them because the size is too impractical for me. They’re cute but kinda useless imo :lol: So I pretty much only go for mini rectangles now. If you need to sell it to buy a mini rectangular, I think you should as you’ll definitely make more use out of the rectangle than the square.

My SA has just texted me about a mini top handle rectangular mini in dark caramel brown that has come in. I'm torn about whether I should take it or leave it. Do you think this color is versatile for every day? How is this season's lambskin quality?
