Here is another burning question - does anyone know what brown was included in the seasonal colours together with Ink and Opera - and therefore had the purple lining? Maybe Bark? i don't recall seeing a brown with the purple lining before but maybe I just missed it.

Ink (lambskin), China (Cervo), Opera, and Billiardo (green). I don't recall a brown with the purple suede lining... Have you spied something?

V0N 1B0 is definitely brilliant - thank you!!!! Toffee it is! So the next burning question - how does Toffee compare to Truffle and/or Tea? Too close to have them all? Truffle and Tea are already pretty close...

IMO, Toffee is much more subdued than Truffle. I always felt Truffle was a weird colour (a good weird) and hard to describe. I think Tea pulls more red if that makes sense, like it almost has a rust-like quality.
I've seen side by side pics somewhere, lemme see if I can find them.

EDIT: I found them but it was side by sides with Steel. I have a Toffee wallet and I'll be in your 'hood next week (Wed-Fri) so if you want to meet up, I'm happy to show it to you, or you can take it home and compare to your Truffle. My wallet has developed a patina though, so the colour has darkened a bit since it was new.

You are amazing VON1B2 - who needs plain old photo comparisons when you can have a personal IRL colour comparison! Unfortunately I'm likely to be out of town next week or I would have taken you up on your incredibly kind offer... although I think I have decided against the Toffee regardless as I don't think the quality is all that great and I am obsessing more at this point still on the Eclipse. So i think I will just move on from the Toffee and focus on the Eclipse and try to decide whether to go for it or not.

Oh, I know that green well - it is one of my obsessions as I saw a Montaigne in the green on BlueFly once many years ago, didn't pull the trigger (I think I had it in my cart about five times, but then just let it go) and I have been searching for it again for years now. If anyone ever sees that green Montaigne anywhere (or Yolk or Limo - those are my other burning obsessions) PLEASE let me know!

Well.... how much room is in your Montaigne Madness Mini Showroom? Sounds like you need to add another shelf. :yes:
