Oh the insanity!! Don't you need backups for your HG's? I thought that was standard practice? A rainy day HG, football game HG, perfect HG! You have one for every occasion!! On the other hand, they each have their own personality and to me, look quite different...

I love your pewter collection, and wow look at that leather on the lilac!
The cinnamon looks like a darker version of the marron, really nice! And your juane is the orangiest I've seen, it's really lovely, almost like a yellowish caramel!

You know, marron has never really spoken to me until I saw your beautiful pics. Your bags are beautiful! Congrats on finding your HG! Again!

How does marron compare to cinnamon?

Lovely lovely bags, beautiful.

woohoo! What a journey, and all worth it because you finally found "the one!" Thanks for sharing your collection- gorgeous!

 

[SweetPurple]

That's great, I'm glad you found your HG ... quite lovely at that, congrats!

 

[stylefly]

Wow, what a saga! That may actually be a record for most bags bought and sold that were the same style and colour (though I might come close with my '05 Caramel obsession).
I am so happy you finally found your perfect '04 Marron! It is GORGEOUS and obviously meant to be! CONGRATS!!!

Lovely story Sunspark! Sure does look scrummy!

Marron is much lighter with more vibrant deep purplely burgundy undertones. Cinnamon is a deep, deep brunette with less vivid reddish undertones insunlight. They are quite different, but cinnamon is much darker.

I was hoping the cinn would replace the marron as a holy grail, but it was just too different.

I took these photos when I received my cinn.
