I have been wanting this chameleon like colour for so long, a phone call description already set my heart beating faster.

There she is, I love her ... brought her home.

Snapped a few pics & made comparison with my existing collection

Had second thoughts :Push:
 
my second thoughts were :- the colours are quite alike ... shouldn't i wait for other colours.



should i save my $ for other lovely H later.... my money tree hasn't produced more leaves lately...

so i decided to sleep over it.

In the office on thursday, starting going thru the pics i snapped & thought, oh too similar, don't need two dark tone bags.

I am still yearning for black box kelly, black HAC ...

So LoVE hEr nOT ...

So, I send a text message to my SA to ask if it's okay to return & have store credit for my next bag....

SA said ever so nicely, " Isn't this the colour you wanted? Maybe you go home & take a second look, the colour is so different in daylight."

The next morning, my heart & stomach went up & down like butterflies in them.

And, I LOVE HER !!! And, I will be keeping her!

----------------------------------------------------------------

& so I get to reveal her here...

Raisin is glorious! Congratulations!!!

I think you did well to keep it, your cacaon is sellier and this is retourne, so they definitely look different.

Btw, does your raisin have contrast stitching? I was offered a 35 cm retourne Kelly in raisin that had slightly pink stitching – passed because 35 cm is too big on me, plus I have too many other purples!
