Pourpre--have not seen it in person--what colors can you wear it with?

[saff]

Yes, the Pourpre is on the right and Sanguine on the left. The Sanguine was quite red but next to the Pourpre, it looks more brownish.

Thank you Kobe !!! I love to dress like that : like an eternal teenager style (except the bag !) ! lol
Snowwhite, I have my pourpre with me today at work, I confirm, it's really like the second picture

I just got the pourpre yesterday... and I love it..

like other said, it is more of a cranberry red... with a magenta/purple undertone to it (totally reminds me of my Miu Miu Amarena bow bag~) it is a lovely red~

Pourpre is a dark cranberry red (some have more pink tones than others) - and my absolute favourite Bal colour!

With other Bal reds, I find that I can only wear them with very quiet neutrals (black, white, navy, etc)... but I find that Pourpre goes with everything! It really dressed up my taupes, beiges, browns, greys, navys, blacks, whites, prints, etc. But, as someone said, it might be a tough match with red and pink.

Here's a pic of my Pourpre RH PT (which I just sold). This is the closest to what it looked like IRL.

Thank you, French75--I was hoping it was that pinkish berry color--I love it!

It looks so pink in that picture--thanks for clarifying!

^^ yes, the pink tones really come through in sunlight. that pic was taken in my kitchen where half of the room is glass with natural light coming through.

Thank you for confirming, Saff--I can't believe how different some colors can look.

I ordered a City in pourpre with GSH, and it arrived today! I LOVE it! Thank you again to everyone who answered my questions--I really appreciate your help!

 

[amazigrace]

snowwhite, so glad you got the pourpre City! I, too, love
that color SO much! Me? I'd wear it with everything I own. Maybe
not a neon pink :sunnies, but every other color. Congratulations
on getting your bag!

 

[snowwhite]

Thanks, amazigrace! It really is such a beautiful color--I can't stop looking at it!

 

[SomethingWitty]

I'm so glad you ordered one and love yours!
I'm completely in love w/ my Pourpre City too, it's the most perfect red for me. I posted some pics of mine in this thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga/youll-probably-think-im-crazy-letting-go-raisin-572776.html

I love it so much more than Raisin (which is what I was originally after!)...

 

[snowwhite]

Thanks for posting the link, SomethingWitty! I hadn't seen your thread. We have the exact same bag--you have fantastic taste!

Pourpre really is such a stunning color--I'm so happy I had so many helpful people here to share pictures and convince me to order it. I hadn't ever seen it in person.
