Hi! These are my* Minkoff bags!

Well, that MAM on the end is sort of an interloper. It's not the color or style I was expecting. If I end up having to keep it, it's going to get conditioned before I try to rehome it. Fairly certain that it's Elephant Gray?

And I know the backpacks are Julians. No idea of the color names. The one that looks gray is actually taupe!

Miss Purple (Cupid? Mini Cupid? Other?) arrived today. Not the color I was thinking but I think we can learn to love each other once she's conditioned also!

That's all I know!

That doesn't look like elephant gray to me... usually I think it's much harder to tell that it *is* elephant gray... hmm. Unfortunately I can't help with the others as I don't follow the new bags.

Not sure if this photo helps. Are the Julians newer? I thought they were pretty old! Not sure about the bucket style though.

I would definitely try to return if you're not happy with it. Some people spray Apple Garde (guard?) on their bags for protection. I think the Julian backpacks came out around 2015.

Yes, the color of that Cupid is wonderful!

That does help. You're right, must be elephant. I'm used to seeing more gray with brown undertones where as this reads much more brown with gray undertones. Posh is usually pretty forgiving on return. Just play up the wrong size.

The bucket bag style is called the Fiona Bucket Bag. I have a dark red one that sadly has too much shiny gold hardware for me (I'm more a silver/gunmetal girl) but I like the style. Not sure what color yours is though - maybe just Tan?

I am pretty sure elephant is an OS color, from 2007, it was very thick, stiff leather, but did have silver HW. It would probably have one of the black /white linings. RM could have named another color elephant at a later time though.
Unfortunately I don't know anything about the Julien backpacks. I have a purple Cupid called "violet", I will try to see what color yours is. I love the color of it!!!

Thank you! Well, I'm stuck with it. Poshmark says they can't verify a MAB vs a MAM since it's discontinued. I'd like to find the name so I can list it for sale. I conditioned it just now and it feels so nice. It's not stiff at all. I just wish it were my color :girlsigh:
The Cupid is SO heavy for me :lol: I've been spoiling myself with super light bags for years, I forgot what thick leather and hardware really feels like! I think my heaviest bag besides her would be my HH Havana but it's not even close either! I'm willing to bear it for the color :panic:

RM did name a newer color "elephant" I read the other night, so that could be the color of your bag.
