I popped into Holts because of your post :)
Uh oh, Cassis is much nicer irl than I thought!!!! Yikes...after seeing it here (not a swatch, but a bag), I thought it was blah but no...nice soft smooshy Cassis leather w/mrggh is lovely! They do not have the exact combo that I would/could cave for right now though.

Yes, Gris Tarmac is totally pure grey - no teal, green or blue undertones. I can see why everyone is wanting it.

Also, yes...the Jacynth is truly very pretty! It's very different though depending on the lighting. I really want to see Mangue irl too. If it's not right for me, then all I have to worry about is the Cassis. Oh yea, the Rose Thulian might be risky for me too. I rather like it online but not sure until I see 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!

OMG could this have been crocus?!! Or does Jacynth (which appears more blue like Cornflower) have purple undertones?! Thank you!!

Finally I received a picture of Crocus!!! I was waiting to see a nice photo of this colour! Here's the crocus city with mrgh and the cassis PT with mrggh ENJOY!!

I was excited for the crocus but I have to say it is looking a little grey-ish to me, a little bit muted. I hope to see it IRL soon!

Crocus sure looks faded with contrast stitching & matching darker zipper track. Not sure I like it! I am so curious about cassis, looks like dark cherry in some & purple red in others.

Cassis is getting more interesting... I wonder if there is any chance it will be like bordeaux irl?

Nooooo... I'm hoping it'd be just like that color on the rack! Maybe just the lighting.... :(

So I got to see a swatch of Cumin at my local Bal today and :yahoo:! It is much more of a beautiful honey brown than olive! I can't wait to see an actual bag in Cumin!!! It's going to be gorgeous with silver HW!!!
