    I WANT a red 35 Birkin: I think most of you know this by now:rolleyes: (HG, you don't need to read or answer this thread, or your:cursing: might reach me all the way here!!!LOL) Anyway, my problem is the following:

    I cannot decide between Clemence in rouge garance (which is a store order for the coming season so I don't have to PO) I love the color but I would prefer a smooth leather and lighterweight. Or placing a PO in Febuary for a Box rouge H, which is my favourite leather but again, I would prefer a brighter red.....Please give me all your thoughts and opinions, since it's been months' now that I have this dilemma, and I just cannot solve it.....Thanks a lot!!!!:cutesy:

    Pr1nc, unfortunately I don't like Vermillion much, as it has that orange undertone; I prefer reds with blue undertones....rouge vif would be another option, but the're hardly doing it at the moment...As for Chevre, I blush saying this, but I'm one of the few here who doesn't like it......:sweatdrop: You see, it's not easy...!

    Birkin-girl: I love Clemence, one of the reasons I would like a smooth leather is that I have 4 bags in clemence, 2 of which are Birkins! That's why I want to change to a smooth leather, and also for the weight. I have a box Birkin which is much lighter than my clemence ones.....If there was rouge garance in box, I wouldn't have any doubts.... I can't decide whether I should give priority to leather rather than the shade of red (therefore box rouge H) or priority to color rather than leather.....

    Duna, what about rouge garance in swift?:shrugs: It is smooth, gorgeous and lightweight! It is a bit like clemence in the slouch factor, so the shape of the Birkin would be similar to what you wanted in the first place. Do you like veau swift?

    I wish I were a color expert. I can look at a red lipstick and can tell whether it is a or warm red.

    Hermes reds ?

    Rouge H - blue undertones ?
    Vif - orange ?
    Braise - orange ?
    Garrance - blue ?

    Are blue and orange the only choices ?

    Help ! :confused1:

    Arcangel, I aim to please!:supacool:


    HermesLady, so nice to see you! I think rouge garance, like rouge vif, has bluish undertones. Vermillon has orange undertones like a ripe Jersey tomato. Rouge H has brownish undertones like an great vintage claret. At least that is how these colors look to me!

    Ninja Sue, Gigi: I love swift, but it only comes in vermillion :sad:The reds I would consider are vif, garance and H. Braise is gorgeous but comes only in croc....

    Maybe I should do as Angie says, forget about it...but I can't; the more difficult it is, the more I want it...:rolleyes:

    Duna, I really feel for you! I have beat things to death. Rouge H is gorgeous in box, but if you are looking for that WOW red...you will not get it with this. I really thing you need to stay away from clemence...you have too much. I have thought about it here and can't really think of a combo that can work for you. Just step away a bit and give it a little time.
