I dunno. I'm a huge grey person. Right now I'm looking for navy or black, but I have a graphite Birkin and I LURVE it. However, I was originally looking for Etoupe. If I found an etoupe, I'd probably jump on it. Although, I have to agree...they serve similar purposes in terms of wardrobe, the only caveat being that etoupe seems to go better with browns. Graphite and browns...not as much (in my opinion with my wardrobe)
