My pink one is cyclamen, now that I've looked it up. 5560. I've never seen bois de rose but in the photos I've seen it looks like a very light pink, color code 5706 (according to FP).

Do you see any hint of blue in the metallic effect?🩶 F/W 2011 LE Argent Fonce Metallic City 🩶 Gorgeous grey accented with brushed steel HW. Metallic has light blue steel undertones that is not being captured properly in my pics. Just know it’s there.

EDIT: Nevermind! I missed the part where you already staid it has blue undertones. And missed the Blue Steel gif reference. Mainly because I blow through all posts just looking at pretty pictures and rarely read content unless directed at me (and sometimes not even then). You should know I also don't read about 80% of my work emails and am perpetually out of the loop.

Yes !!! it is so hard to capture the true beautiful bluish grey nuance in this amazing metallic, I have a Velo and am stunned that I like metallic bags. that one is my favorite Bal of all. Maybe the truest color is from FP where I bought the bag🩶 F/W 2011 LE Argent Fonce Metallic City 🩶 Gorgeous grey accented with brushed steel HW.

LMAO!!! To address your first unedited comment, I took another picture for you. This is the closest I can get to showing it. It can also appear dark like @vesna gorgeous Velo reference pic.Do you see any hint of blue in the metallic effect?

Such a color shifter! Dark grey, then baby bluish, to a light platinum all depending on the lighting. When I was doing research on this color stumbled across a pic of yours paired with your Docs. Perfect combo!

This is also a pic of bois de rose, looks more like the holey part of your bag but not so much the solid leather.
So, I’ve had a busy month 
If you’ve visited the Reference Library over the last week or two, you’ve probably already seen some of these.
First up, after passing up too many bags in this color on my quest for a City, I finally caved
Yes, I know its way too big to use as a handbag & seeing as I don’t travel, I probably won’t be getting a whole lot of use from this, but until I can find the ever illusive City, Day or even a Work, this satisfies my need (want!) for 05 Teal

I’ve always resisted the Work because of its lack of shoulder strap. I need that, but when I saw this bag. I decided to give it a shot. I’ve always loved this color, the leather looked yummy and because of a TRR promotion from last month’s purchases, I had a credit which made the price hard to resist
Yes, the corners are pretty much trashed and the handles are darkened, but I figure as a test run for the style, I can deal with those things (& if I discover I love it, I’ve already got a price from LMB to fix the corners)

I had this color briefly a few months ago. While I loved the color, the bag was pretty beat up and I wasn't in love with the leather. Saw this one and it looked pretty good to me so I played TRR Roulette - and hit the jackpot!
05 Rouge Theatre Work -- full set, slightly darkened corners but based on its shape, I don't think this bag's ever been carried

The leather on the olive is lovely.
I have one more to share, which you might have guessed
Heard back from TRR this morning and they gave me a credit for the missing strap ON TOP of the credit they gave me yesterday for the missing zipper pull (inside). The rarity of the bag and the credits make this too great of a find to return
There are so many spare tassels that came with the Rouge Theatre, I’m actually thinking about using a piece of one of those for the zipper pocket — now I just have to find a strap that will make me happy
03 True Red First — the leather is almost exactly like the leather my old Olive Brown First had and I don’t think I can ever have enough bags with silver HW

I'm glad it worked it out with this bag. It would have been a shame to let it go.I have one more to share, which you might have guessed

You know very well who would die to have it if, and only if, it is too big.So, I’ve had a busy month
