Saira,
I'm looking at this pourpre city from a popular consigner. I'm just kind of confused by their photos of the bag, because the color looks very pink and light to me. I thought pourpre was more of a burgundy/red wine with raspberry in it, like in this mirror comparison pic. I also recall we looked at a GSH day bag a while back that I was hoping was black cherry and you determined it was most likely a faded pourpre and that bag looked darker than this city to me too. Could you tell me if this is for sure pourpre or if this is just a leather variation? Thanks!

It is Pourpre and it looks like it is either a lighting issue, or it may also be a little faded as well. I passed on Pourpre because of the leather variation and the one I saw in person was kind of light like this. Do you have a picture of the inside silver tag so I can be sure? The two photos do look very different, but the bottom photo does look like Pourpre.

Thank you for your insight. What colors would you recommend if im looking for a bag thats a dark wine/burgundy color that have consistent color? I have a black cherry on layaway but i was under the impression that it was more brown than purple in undertone. Thanks again!

Hope you don't mind me sticking my nose in here. The Pourpre got my attention.

My opinion, the best deep, true burgundy is F/W 05s Bordeaux. If you can find one in decent condition, I think the leather and color were pretty consistently beautiful.

I'm an oldies lover so 05 burgundy or 06 grenat. Casis is also a good alternative and probably easier to find. 05 rouge theater if you want it a bit lighter.
