I just bought what I'm hoping is a Caramel Day from Fashionphile. I have an 06 Camel Day as is, so this one goes back if it turns out to be Camel. Shheeesh these colors are much more similar in photos than IRL. What are your thoughts?

They are quite similar, aren't they! I think you are safe. From these pics it looks like 05. 06 is just a bit richer and saturated.
Thanks Saira! 
Here's hoping! If it turns out to be Caramel, I'll try to do a comparison shot or two, just in case I can capture the color difference in a photo. My Camel is super thick and sturdy, but not soft at all. I'm counting on the texture of the bag I'm waiting for to be completly different..

I would love to see a comparison of the two. In my experience 05 bags are pretty soft, so hoping yours will be.Thanks Saira!

I had that on my wish list but was waiting for it to reduce on 2/10, lol! I think its a Caramel! I have a Camel Work and it's much darker, IMO, than the Caramel. However, like you said its hard to tell in pictures! Please let us know when you get it!
Cumin would have MIT in all caps right? I knew it wasn't a cumin. I guess like Connie Is wondering it could be a Camel/Cognac 2006, but faded? I recently saw a Truffle in person that I swear was so faded it was unrecognizable. This is a hard color to ID!
Yours is definitely not 2006 Camel. It is too washed out for that. I had a thought it could be a beat up Cumin so that's why I needed to see the back of the tag. Connie's is a bit more saturated than yours, but I am fairly confident her's is also 2005 Caramel.

Yes...and then we have Cumin just to make it more interesting.
I've had more than one Caramel (A Day that I loved, and was destroyed..don't even ask) and more than one City. One of my all time faves..
The way I've always thought I had a handle on the difference between 05 and 06 was that the 06 usually LOOKS thick and a bit rougher in photos, and almost always has a more orange tone. The Caramel should look like heavily creamed coffee without a hint of orange. Or so I think!!
I meant 3/10 of course! That's when it was scheduled to drop 10%. I hate paying the local sales tax at Fashionphile. It's almost 10% for me
It looks like a beautiful bag and I'm so curious to see if turns out to be a 2005 or not!

I'm paying the sales tax too, and I know exactly how you feel. I've never bought from them before partly because of the sales tax. I've wanted a Caramel Day for a long time though, and for some reason, hadn't seen it before. I think I might have seen it, and ignored it, thinking it was Cumin.
THANK YOU
