Well over the weekend we got about 10" of snow
My landlord shoveled us out
To combat the weather I made a big pot of vegetable soup with Flanken (top rib)
It tasted just like my grandmothers
Yummy

Geranium is its own colour. I haven't seen it in Cervo, and don't know if it's available in Cervo, but if you compare Geranium and China Red on an intrecciato bag, there is no comparison. Geranium is not as vibrant. It looks more orangey/bricky to me.

It's available in Cervo, on NAP they listed a hobo yesterday.
Totally agree on the feel/look - seemed plain/flat and not as catchy as China Red.
It's a different red, nice and beautiful, but not what I was waiting for. I need a "vampire" red, "femme fatale" red...

i have asked a NM online operator to check the inventary ref no of that RED bag for me, and she reported back - 6417 - which stands for CHINA RED on the BV site ref to my wallet.
So this part is clear. NM carries a CHINA RED one.

I was in the BV-store in Puerto Banus last week, and they had another new redish color - New Petra. More of a brick color, though. Seemed like they had lots of different reds at the same time, they also had China Red and some leftover Vesuvio....

By any chance did you see a cervo hobo in China red???

Sorry, I wasn't looking for that particular bag - and that model was not displayed as I recall.

I was also at the Copenhagen store (for the sale, but I did not buy anything [emoji56]), and they had several pieces in China Red. I was carrying my Carmino Bella, and I found the colors quite close. Carmino is a bit deeper/darker in my opinion, but it is a very subtle difference.

I located my comparison of Fever and New Red. I took this photo in August 2013 at the Melrose Place boutique. My Fever Cervo Hobo is in front. The Veneta is New Red (not mine). The colors are very close with Fever showing some orange in bright sunshine. I love my Fever Cervo Hobo. I can't believe it's 7 years young and still going strong.

I can't thank you enough for this!!!! really appreciate it!!

I'm waiting to hear if China red sneakers are on the horizon.....

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!

Thanks G. It's beautiful (even though the one on the NM website looks more red/rustic than I thought it would be). The non-adjustable straps killed my interest though

It's a dark and stormy night. The chili is on the final countdown simmering away in the sous vide.

Seems like an interesting way to make chili
I have made it in a crock pot
A pressure cooker and on top of the stove
My preferred method is the top of the stove
I like to be involved and have to stir it and therefore taste it every half hour
That way I can adjust seasonings
And usually after all the tasting I do I usually can't eat dinner

Here's my Veneta in Carmino (2007) and a French wallet in China Red, difference very minimal, without flash, with flash and without flash under the electric light
Side note - Carmino is an old lady, and she acquired age sheen, China Red is yet new and looks matte
