I have a little minka due to arrive Friday in dusty emerald and even though I haven't even seen it in person yet I am already wanting another or something similar! !
I would really like a vibrant pink. I've seen a few different shades of pink online like deep pink, Rio pink, and strawberry froyo. Which of these is the most vibrant pink? I love bold pinks like fuchsia and magenta. If anyone has comparison pics that would be wonderful! !

Rio Pink is the brightest and most vibrant pink that Kate Spade has made recently. It's much more vivid than Deep Pink (which I also love). It's very bright and very pink, almost neon but without any orange undertone (Gulabi, on the other hand, looks great on my screen but is so eye searingly neon in person that it's almost an 80s dayglo orange).

I did a side by side comparison of Deep Pink and Love Pink in person last summer but I honestly don't remember what conclusion I came to. They're both great colors. I'm very picky about pink. I prefer fuchsia or magenta rather than straight pink. IIRC Strawberry Froyo wasn't as bright as Deep Pink or Love Pink.

If you're looking for a Little Minka, it doesn't come in Rio Pink.

If you like a slightly more purplish tone, Bengal Purple is nice too. It's from the Wellesley line. Fiesta Rose is an older color from the Wellesley line but it's more of a pink than a fuchsia.

I've tried taking pictures of my various pink purses but they never turn out true to color. They're really hard to capture accurately but they're so gorgeous in person! I'll see if I can find some I took of Deep Pink last year.

Thank you for all the info!! I've had my eye on little minka, small Leslie, and emmy. I think I will end up having to buy from eBay for a minka or leslie because there aren't many color options left on various department store websites. Are they being discontinued?

It's Deep Pink, but it's actually a little less fuchsia in real life. It's still very pink but I think it looks a bit more fuchsia in photographs which can be a bit misleading.

Received my little minka in dusty emerald today and I love the style!! The packaging was adorable as well. I really wish I would have found this style sooner so I could have gotten more colors. Dusty emerald is really pretty but I do wish it was a bit of a deeper color.

Sorry for the million questions on available pink options but I have a few more. Which kate spade pink is closest to pink ruby, fuchsia, or bright magenta from coach? I have something in all 3 colors. I just want to try and get the best idea possible before buying another kate spade since I will probably have to buy from eBay and won't be able to return it if I don't love the color. Pictures can be so deceiving for pink.
