I bought another cookbook "Sous Vide at Home." Making a batch of chili sounded great. Did all the prep yesterday and into the sous vide it goes when I get home from the office tonight. Cooking with sous vide is almost like a science experiment. Will post pix tonight of the set up.

Dear Ladies, can anyone kindly tell me what is the difference between New Red and Fever?
shoveling the photos and can't get any idea, all are contradicting and confusing - because of light, angle and probably cameras setting - they all look different... :(

They are probably a lot a like
BV Tends to make similar colors all the time. The difference is the undertone
The undertone rarely shows in pictures
You would have to see it in real light to tell the difference
That is BV subtle
You know when your own initials are enough

Thanks a lot! that's what i've felt as well... cannot spot any obvious shade/tone difference

the thing is that some time ago i chatted online with a BV Customer Service operator and she told me that Cervo hobo was going to be made in China Red for Spring collection, so i was checking regularly,
on neiman marcus it was available for pre-order but it was just 'red', and today it appeared on NAP... as GERANIUM!!
they made it in a different red :(
now i am considering getting an older red, for a more reasonable amount, 'cause it makes no sense to me to pay the full price for something that is not exactly what i want...
i found 2, one is Fever, another New red, Fever is glossy, New Red is washed...., price point is almost the same, shall i go for the newer one?

by the way, i can say that China Red is very similar to 2007 Carmino, not the same, but very close! My new wallet matches nicely my Veneta :)

Neiman Marcus has several new SS17 bags on the website including the Karung/Lizard Lido tote that Diane and BVLC were captivated by. (It appears to be a different colorway though--more rust oriented than the beige). Check them out!

You've amassed quite the collection in the last year. Congrats :smile:
Neiman Marcus has the Cervo Hobo in China Red.
If you're going the pre-loved route, and want a true RED! I would choose Fever over New Red, but that's JMO.
Whatever you buy, make sure they have a return policy.
Good luck :flowers:

Thank you! :ty:
on NM it's listed as Red without any particular 'designer' name, could it be Geranium as well??
What is the nuance between Fever and New red? Apart from glossy vs washed finish? Have you seen both irl?

NM is pretty good about not using generic names. I did a search for Geranium on their site and the color does come up espadrilles so I admit to feeling fairly confident that "Red' probably refers to China red. NM doesn't use the term "China" to define any of its red bags.

I had a Fever bag and it is bright vibrant red. Some orange to it (leaning toward but no where near Vesuvio). I had a New Red wallet too and that was just a good solid red. No traces of blue or pink or orange. Just red.

BV changes the name of the color for different skins
They are probably calling it Geranium because it is Cervo and China Red in Nappa
The customer service rep should have been able to tell you that
The skins take the dye differently so they can't call them the same color
Carmine was such a beauty
Red with a pinkish undertone
Such a happy color
Fever was more red with I think (don't quote me on this) a bluish undertone
