Need an advice on colour - new purchase!

[ari]

Hi robee

The biege swift looks a bit too light in that picture, how does it look IRL?
Is this an etoupe B?
Is the biscuit lighter than chamonix?
Gosh - I love everything you have!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ari]

iirc juicyagogo has a beautiful Parchemain birkin with gold HW, it used to be her avatar pic, you should try search for her post

Have u considered Gris T?

IceEarl, Thank You!
I just saw it - to be frank I saw it in person in Hermes Madrid and it is not the colour I'm looking for. I'd like to wear it with clothes and colour like this

beige swift is light IRL.
and my birkin is gris T, u can wear it with warm colours too, as it has pink undertone. but it's nicer with the greys/white etc.

Biscuit is lighter than chamonix.
Tabac is a nice colour too, but for birkin, but only come in clemence.

i will take pics of the three togather for u tonight ok?

Oh, Thank you so much Robee!

Hi Ari, IMO, swift (or box) looks less casual than clemence or togo.

With the look of the beautiful Lady on the pic I'd choose Beige or biscuit swift in a Birkin 30 or a kelly 28/32. With Gold HW

In my future there will be a Kelly 28 Beige or Parchemin swift GHW.

Love the pics of Kelly R with her parchemin

FrenchSandra, Thank You again for your help.
Yes, I do agree these leathers are perfect for Kelly, I'd love to have a box Kelly, but Maybe I'd buy a 35 Kelly as I'm 1.75 tall and the size is good on my/I have a 35 togo Kelly, while if I buy a Birkin - I'd rather get it in 30, as my 35 B looks a bit too cassual. Any way - let's see what I can find...

I think I saw a parchemin Birking in Hermes Madrid, but def was togo or clemence, it looked a bit - white with yellowish undertone, and looked like it was painted over a darker colour. Maybe the lighting in the boutique was bad - I don't know but I didn't like it...while in the pictures here it lookes lovely.

Robee!!!!!! thank You so much - Great help - I'm in love with all of them, but Biscuit Swift is exactly what I was looking for!!
Thank YOu! thank YOu!!!!!!!

[robee]

ari - you are most welcome, and hope u find your dream combo

 

[FrenchSandra]

Ari, good luck

I'm sure biscuit swift will be stunninge in a 30 cm Birkin.

I'm only 1.63 tall, so prefer 28 or 32, but I saw pics of you with your Kelly and it looks perfect

Robee : All these pics are so beautiful...Jadeite's Parchemin with the cover lock is so yummy...Like a vanilla ice cream And your collection is growing so beautifully.

FrenchSandra, esmeh, queenvictoria2, dreamdoll, SympathyDuet, Thank You so much for your help! I think I need to narrow the colours to:
beige swift - first pict on he left

tabac - it sounds a bit darker than it is here on the picture

etoupe - I'm afraid that it has some gray in it and I won't be able to wear it with some camel and true warm beige colours.

biscuit

Natural Chamonix 32 cm Sellier Kelly GH - with time as far as I understand this colour can become darker?

ari
I agree about etoupe, I bought this thinking it was an great all round neutral, but I have found, just as you said, that it doesn't go well with warm-toned neutrals, because of the grey undertones, it looks better with the cool-toned colours.

biscuit is lovely with GHW and tabac or is it called tabac camel? I've never been sure, and they are both true neutrals.

beige is lovely too, but lighter than the others, therefore possibly higher maintenance (remember the handles) ??

all the above is only IMHO; as others have mentioned, the availability could be a deciding factor? They are all timeless, chic colours, so you can't really go wrong with any.
Good luck!
