F/W 2012 - Bal Intel

OH NO! I was also hoping for a nice orange this time...

Me too! Maybe they will do a nice, bright, spring-like orange for S/S 2013

Let's hope so! I was hoping for a pumpkin-ish orange! I thought it would be perfect for Fall!

I have seen the showroom pictures and the F/W swatch card. My source asked me not to disseminate and I will respect that but I can spill about the additional colours.

Bleute - this looks like a medium blue
Lagon - a turquoise-y blue
Latte - it looked like Militaire on the swatch card but in the showroom pictures it looked like a cross between Papyrus and Gris Poivre

In general everything looked very shiny - it has a bit of a sheen that I have seen with this season's bags. Personally I prefer a more matte bag. I was excited about Mango but I was hoping for more orange tones but as it is, it looks like it will be not hugely different from my Mimosa bag.

can you give me Info to the colour Gris Tarmac please ?

On the swatch card, it looks to me like more of a traditional dark grey. It is supposed to be the replacement for Anthracite and the great thing about that colour was the different tones in it. The swatch for Gris Tarmac that I saw looked tone-free. Then again it is just a swatch so it will be hard to tell until the bags actually start to come out.

Thank you! Have you seen cassis?

Thank you I Hope so , that comes in the Future a middle grey colour

Yes, it looked like Bordeaux from the Holiday line. It is hard to tell from the pictures whether it will be a bit lighter or darker. As I mentioned before though, definitely a shinier leather or more of a reflective sheen than the Holiday bags.

Oh my, should i hold off buying now? Cumin, Rose T & Mango sounds delish.

haha! those were the ones that caught my eye too!

Thanks for all the intel, calgarycarrie!!! Can you give us your opinions on "cumin"?

 

[CeeJay]

Now, if only the swatches were even remotely accurate!!

 

[dragonette]

Could Cumin be an orange shade?

I agree that you can never tell how accurate the swatches and bag pictures from the showroom are unless you have seen the colors IRL and can compare. A lot of times, they look a lot darker than the colors turn out to be.

I saw the cassis swatch, and it looked pretty different from past colors. Not as dark as '05 bordeaux or black cherry from I forget when or the recent holiday bag. It also wasn't exactly like 06 grenat, which was redder. I loved that it looked like a deep berry color, but I was told it was lighter in person. It could still be interesting.

I agree *RG*; that is how it looked to me too; here are some examples of Creme de Cassis .. I would say that they are pretty spot-on:

Hmm, Casis may be a brown-red?
