Hey, doesn't this Free People bag look a lot like the Cupid?? I kind of like it and it comes in many colors!!
It does look a lot like it, here's my cupid for a quick comparison. IMG_20240424_101931990_HDR.jpg
 
Please help me ID a color/here's my brown bag collection:

I just received my second ever Matinee this evening and would love to crowdsource some help identifying the color. The leather is very smooth and structured, the pull-ups are light tan suede, and the lining is black and white floral. Shelby thinks it's Elephant, and I'm inclined to agree after digging through the reference threads. The inside needs a light wash, and the pull-ups have some green discoloration from resting against the zippers. Does anyone have a suede cleaner recommendation?

For fun, here's my new Mattie alongside my other brown RM bags. On the couch, top row: unknown MAM (harewood? chocolate?), new Mattie, dark brown suede with GE trim MAM. Bottom row: Dusty + silver spot Mattie (95% sure that's the color), Fawn MAB Luxe that has Seen It All, GE MAB.

Taking mixed hardware to the next level! I posted this so-so looking MAM a few days ago because the lining is one I've only ever seen in the reference zone, and I got more and more curious, and went for it. She arrived today and I was surprised to see not one, not two, but three different colors of hardware. The huge brass clips on the side help the bag to hang beautifully, but I've never encountered mixed metal colors before. Is this a known phenomenon? Or did the seller cannibalize multiple bags into one? I bought it to be a project bag so I'm not mad (I've already removed the handles), but now I'm even more curious. What say you, oh wise ones?

Love that lining!! I've had one or two older bags with mixed hardware. It's like they threw them together with what they had! Can't wait to see the finished bag with new handles!!
