Ladies with vacchetta bags: which is richer in color, mahogany or dark taupe? Which one really goes with everything? I imagine both are quite neutral. I really should be looking at black, buuut... As an I-rarely-use-a-brown-bag person, I am attracted to these two colors. Do they show a lot of variation irl? Sometimes pictures show more - or less of what is visible to the eye. Yes, I'm thinking of another bag.
The dark Taupe has more grey in it and it is lighter in color. The mahogany is a darker brown. As far as a go with everything color, I think the dark Taupe is more neutral as it goes with both cool and warm toned clothes. It’s a little chameleon like- the grey tones are pulled out when you hold it against blues, pinks, purples. The brown tones are more apparent against orange, Browns, greens. The mahogany is richer in color because it is deeper, darker than dark Taupe.
I know this probably didn’t help. They are both gorgeous colors so you can’t go wrong with either. If you tend to wear more warm colors and like a darker colored bag, go with mahogany. If you wear a lot of cool colors or lighter colors, the dark Taupe would be great. Or get both!!
Here’s a picture of my dark Taupe. It pulls more brown in the picture but you can definitely see the grey undertones in real life. I don’t think I took a picture of the mahogany.
I hope to see a pic of your arctic nappa Aphrodite someday. I love to see the leather in a full size handbag. @vink has a gorgeous arctic nappa Selene Midi with apple green lining, so pretty.
I saw the mahogany IRL a long time ago when my Zhoe Legend was mistakenly made in that leather. It is a saturated, rich brown.Ladies with vacchetta bags: which is richer in color, mahogany or dark taupe? Which one really goes with everything? I imagine both are quite neutral.

I also do not wear true brown or any shades close to it, so I think you might like taupe better. The current batch of taupe vacchetta looks to be more uniform in color and smoother in texture than my taupe vacchetta, which was from the first batch. Taupe is a more attractive and more versatile neutral than mahogany in my eyes.
Ha! I am too.Ladies with vacchetta bags: which is richer in color, mahogany or dark taupe? Which one really goes with everything? I imagine both are quite neutral.

I love this!!!! Great approach to showcasing the nappa and the changeable strap is fab.
Thanks for the description. So helpful!
Beautiful! This doesn't seem to have much variation. I would love that for a bag.
Thank you! Yes, I would love it if it had just a little variation. I guess I could just ask Marco. Or go with black vacchetta. [emoji28]
It's now or never. I don't want to have regrets over 1 bag. [emoji6]
Oh, I just noticed he tweeted out the videos you ladies did! Cool! https://twitter.com/massaccesibags?s=09

We are so bad. I’m still looking at the lists. I had the mahogany vachetta in a soulmate midi and ended up selling because I’m really not a brown person. I ordered a daphne in taupe vachetta based on pics and comments that it’s a chameleon. I haven’t received yet. I think I’m going to like it. And yes, I’m still thinking about one more bag.
Heads up, especially to @TotinScience because she was planning to do a review also—I recorded a review of the Minerva Midi but do not have time to post it until later this weekend. It would be great if @TotinScience could do a review of a different style/s. Thanks.
