F/W 2012 - Bal Intel

[CeeJay]

Am I considered breaking my ban? I was told that I had a $500 store credit by my S/A that I had to spend within these 2 months. So initially I went to the store with the Bleu Cobalt wallet in mind but it was all sold out. So I went home with the continental ( zip around) wallet instead:

These pictures are taken at home so hopefully show the real colour of Mangue better:

Great pics *Subi* .. thank you!!!

Hmmmm .. looking at that first pic, it looks like Mangue is favoring the Moutarde, but has a tad more "orange" undertone to it. Like Bleu Lavande, this is one that has to be seen IRL!

OMG!! Latte, cumin, mangue look delish!! Just imagining how they'd have looked with GIANT hardware!! Also wonder if mangue would be worthwhile in rainy blighty.. Better start saving!!!

It's really gorgeous! Is this the wallet style that replaced the Compagnon?

Thanks rollergirl, I think the continental zip around wallet has been around for a while but I am not 100% sure.

Hi Ceejay, you are just spot on on your description for this colour, this was exactly what I had in mind. Definitely not Mimosa, but Moutarde with more orange undertone.

^^ WOO-HOO then; that is EXACTLY what I wanted!!! When I first saw the pics, I remember the color as having that orange undertone, so that's why I was skeptical at some of the color swatches (which always seem to be *off* - if you KWIM?!?!).

Mangue (is Mango right?) looks yummy~ So so cute!! it's not that orange~

I'm dying for a pic of cumin!!!

 

[missmoimoi]

Does any of you girls think Mangue looks like Moutard? I have never seen Moutard in real nor Mimosa but from pics and swatches I think it looks like Moutard. Do you girls agree?

I think mangue is a bit more orange than moutarde. It really looks like the ripe flesh of a mango! (not exterior mango skin). I have never seen 07 jaune irl to compare.

Thanks for posting pics, CeeJay!
I'll wait to see an actual bag to pass final judgement on cumin... but I'm disappointed with the swatch.
Now, bleute, that looks good!!!

Thank you CeeJay! I don't know how I missed this post! I've been dying to see Cumin! Of course now that I've seen the swatches I'm in love with Bleute! Is it absolute fact that there won't be anymore giant 21 HW??? I would a Bleute PT with Giant 21 Rose Gold!

Thanks Ceejay for posting the swatches, I also do not know how I missed your post??

Bleute and Latte = Lagon and Kraft??

I am a bit confused, will appreciate your input on this.

I hope these are not limited edition colours as I am really liking Bleute, looks like Outremer without the purple undertone?

Cat1967, are you there? Your wish may be granted, Bleute may be made for you!!

Thanks for the swatches *C*
If Bleute looks like this swatch.... I am sooooooo in trouble!

Bleute is my fav, reminds me of outreamer, at least that's what I hope it looks like IRL. Cumin is also an unexpected contender for me! I was really looking forward to mangue but it looks like mimosa and I was hoping it would look more like jaune ( but again I haven't seen it IRL)

Was in Holt's just now. Loving Gris Tarmac, true grey! There is another color I absolutely adore, and I believe it's Jacynth. When I asked the SA he only referred it as "purple". Love that color too!
