Hello ladies,
I'm hoping some of you more seasoned H ladies out there can help me out with this massive dilemma I have been having...
Earlier this year I purchased a Violet Lizard Bearn wallet from Nancy @ Kaleidoplace. It's lined in what I always thought was Violet Chevre.

A few months after that, I purchased a Bastia coin purse from the Dallas Hermes boutique, and was told it was Violet chevre, and the receipt also says Violet.
However, in seeing them side by side (the inner chevre lining of my wallet and the bastia coin purse), the two colors are NOT similar whatsoever. The lining of my wallet is more vibrant and "purple", while the Bastia is darker and has browner undertones.
In your opinion, which is the TRUE VIOLET chevre color??? And how can they be so different? Was I sold one item incorrectly labeled? Could the Bastia be a different color? Have the dye lots changed over the years??
Thank you so much for your thoughts and opinions.
