Hi, I think the colours on the site and the post are quite consistent, its not a shocking blue, but more a deep, vibrant blue. However, since its heritage leather (natural, vegetal tanned with little to no coverage) the colour will evolve & gain a patina over time and with use. So if you’re looking for a particular shade and want it to remain fixed for all time, this is not the leather for that purpose.
having said that, its a gorgeous colour and will deepen and become more saturated as it gains a patina. The leather itself is to die for… i recently got a Diane messenger bag in bleu de cocagne and I’m so happy with the way its evolving
would you be open to posting photos of it? thank you!
 
hello, just wondering if it's the lighting here that makes the bag look darker... the photos on the website show a bright (almost shocking) blue that I'm after.

Thanks!
Hi it’s darker in person compared to the official pics. The blue color really pops when it’s sunny out. It’s very chameleon and depends on the lighting plus, like others mentioned, this leather will darken as the patina builds

I have just placed an order for the Saint-Clair mini clutch. I have sent an email asking about what can it fit and the digital manager very kindly showed me it could fit an iphone pro max, 2 slim card holders and a lipstick easily. I cannot wait to unbox it!
Congrats and thank you!! Hope you are able to post photos when it arrives and enjoy this stunning piece !

The bag arrived pretty quick after placing my order, it took 5 days to arrive after receiving the passing of quality check email. I was able to purchase the last one in this color they had in stock, lucky me! :) Was quite busy this week so I only get to unbox it today.

The box is very nice, feels luxurious. The first thing I noticed is that leather smells so good, and the craftsmanship of the bag just screams quality and luxe.

I have not have the chance to play with it just yet since it was almost dinner time when I unboxed it, will take more photos tomorrow.

The protective films are still on the hardware.

Thank you for posting this! I've had this bag on my radar for awhile. It looks absolutely lovely. Please post more photos with it filled up if you can, uncertainty of capacity is the only thing holding me back.

Hello WingNut, here are some photos of the capacity, I have an iphone 13 pro and my case is on the chunky side, hope this helps.

They fit my essentials, and I am very happy with it. I think I can fit a key fob on top of the card holders, not sure, but will try. Going to take more pictures when I take her out. :)

Yayyyy so happy for you and to see real photos of this stunning bag!! Thank you so much for sharing with us! It looks so so beautiful. It fits all I’d carry around on a daily basis. Does it look lighter in sunlight? I wonder how it would handle being out in the rain/elements. Definitely want to order now- thank you again for sharing would love to see anymore photos if you’d want to post! Might be more obsessed now :love:

Thank you so much! It does look lighter in the sunlight, the color is so different under different lightings. I somehow feel it will not fare well in the rain, not sure though.

Taken her out today, and I must say it is really comfortable to wear! Here are some more photos, I am 163cm, and I’ve adjusted the strap to the shortest setting, it hangs around my hip when worn crossbody. And key fob fits! :)
