Lavender is a bluish periwinkle.... not true lavender, although I do believe that different pieces of leather have taken the color differently, some lavender is a paler greyer subtle shade, and some lavender is definately more blue. The Sullivan is very blue, the agenda is more subtle and greyish, more are fabulously beautiful. I just think it's a subtle off color and different pieces are shades different. That's also what makes it so cool! Hopefully, the cles will be coming in a week or so, all the way from across the pond...
