This just arrived and I was SO psyched. First thing I did was take a photo (excuse the inquisitive kitty, please) and then I realised I did not love the interior colour.

Photo 9-8-15 3 04 01 pm.jpg

On the website I thought Cleo would be a creamy off-white but IRL it is kind of a cool yellow-y white that looks almost greenish in contrast to the rich Brandy exterior. (Edited: Ugh, sorry it's sideways. I don't know how to fix the rotation)

What do you all think?
 
I personally love it! I have a preference for strong contrasts and like that greenish colour. IMO its a keeper for me, but I really do think you should love your bag at first sight.

PS today is International Cat Day so she's perfect for the photo!
 
OMG [emoji7] I love this color and this combo in the mini size is what I am hunting for for months.
I would take it immediately but you have to be happy with it. [emoji6]

I sold my black flamma bucket and nobody could understand my decision. It was so hard to get but just not my colorway.
 
It's beautiful and unique! I've got the brandy/avion and in real life the greyish blue is a bit too dark to be seen. I think brandy goes with cleo so well :)
but of course, go for whatever that makes u happy!
 
I also love it - I really want this in the mini mini size I think - or maybe the mini ;) but again, you are the one who has to love it. These things are totally personal, so don't feel bad if it's not your dream bag. And if you can't return it I'm sure you will have plenty of people who would love to buy it off you [emoji6]
 
Thanks for all the supportive comments! You ladies are so nice.

Hmmm it was love and then I had slight doubts. I think it might grow on me, but I'd have to start using it first and then it'll be harder to sell it if I change my mind later on!

And my Sammie-cat thanks you for that! :smile1:

Somehow I like it better at night under fluorescent lighting than in daylight. Is that weird?

I think I should really try using it first.. and see how the interior works out as I'm using it. I might not even notice it very much!

I love the exterior so I might try to make it work because I can't imagine going through the hassle of getting another!!
 
Been searching for this combo forever!!! In mini as well. So hard to find. But it really depends on what you like. Hopefully it grows on you :) it's gorgeous btw! 😊
 
Love the combo as well :) but the only one who matters is yourself so don't force yourself to keep it no matter how hard it is to get. Bags are such a personal decision. Gl deciding and keep us updated!
 
So I brought it out today and I think it's growing on me. The interesting thing is that Cleo looks different depending on the ambient light situation, but also depending on what's in my bag!

I think this is a great combination-the contrast is really nice, but again, if you don't love it, that is what counts.
 
^ :p now that you mention it, i am thinking the same (and want some kinder candies).

i think the combo is beautiful as well, and glad to hear that the color way is starting to grow on you.
 
I bought my Brandy with the Brick interior and I have to say, I really prefer the pop of color this gives off. I hope it grows on you and you eventually love it. Sometimes with all these choices it's so hard to decide! I feel like I've gone through a 100 MGs trying to figure out which ones are best for me size-wise, color-wise, etc.

Same here! I prefer the contrast, and light interiors the best.
 
I personally love that combo. And I'm so glad u posted ur concern because I thought I was the only one who saw the slightly green tinge. I have bought/returned a couple bucket bags and have learned one thing: don't force urself to love ur MG bag just bc it's hard to find. I guarantee u that u will find a perfect color/size combo eventually so don't sell urself short! I held out for my mini black flamma and I'm so glad I did :)
