Cyclamen Paraty - comparison pics

[smally]

I felt guilty for hi-jacking Aidan's thread so I thought I'd start a new one for these pics.

Comparison pics of Chloe cyclamen and Bal cyclamen. I'm surprised at the difference, the paraty has much more berry tones than the Bal which is a proper pink imo.

I've taken all the pics outside in daylight when it was cloudy but bright.

Wow they are totally different & definitely justifies keeping the Paraty......Thanks for posting, I was always curious to see how the colour compared to Bal Cyclamen.

They are both beautiful -- but the paraty is much more saturated. Are you keeping both, you lucky girl?!

 

[rycechica1016]

they are really both gorgeous!

These are fantastic!! Thank you for taking the time and posting. I have to say I of course love both, but I definitely think the saturation of the Chloe wins out!!!

Wow sorry to bal fans, but I think the bal here somehow accentuated the color of the paraty? The paraty is really gorgeous here!

After an awful lot of stressing I am keeping them both.

I've had the bal for a while, the paraty is just settling in. I think that they are different enough to justify having both. The styles are totally different also. My Bal is a velo which I tend to wear with the long strap whereas I like the paraty handheld or in the crook of my arm. The bal is a much more casual bag for me, the paraty makes me feel more ladylike when I carry her.

Oh my... I thought I was over Cyclamen but after seeing your pics I need one again! I knew I should've stayed away from threads that have the word 'cyclamen'!!!

Thank you so much for these pics! They helped push me over the edge into getting a Cyclemen Paraty I was on the fence between the Paraty and a Bal City and your pics really helped me decide

Both bags are gorgeous! I love the richness of the cyclamen! Congrats!

Cyclamen is absolutely stunning... I agree with the others, it's so saturated and rich on the Chloe leather... flawless! So happy you're keeping both... they are two TOTALLY different bags! Thanks for the beautiful pics!
