I have never seen the tan/saddle Cupid (probably good for my wallet). I ended up returning the red and keeping the lavender. And now I just bought the anthracite puzzle Cupid from the RM sale!! Plus I have the raspberry on order. I haven't carrried the lavender yet so I may just wait to see if the raspberry is similar in color. Since I bought the lavender at Endless I can always return it! I regularly carry the navy and teal Cupids and really don't tire of these bags.

Oh my gosh! That sounds amazing! *Urg. Must resist temptation to become obsessive about this bag.*
Uh oh, I have visions of going from 0 Cupid satchels to 2 (tan & lavender). I can tell it's a great bag to carry! Must resist some-thing...been on recent spree already...must pace myself.
^^ I had both and returned the red. The teal is a teal BLUE not green and the red is not a deep red but more of a bright red with some orange tones in it. The leathers are about the same; both distressed with a little shine. You can't go wrong with either; just pick the color that best goes with your wardrobe.
:help:
TEAL or RED
Love both, help me choose
I had the teal and returned it. I thought all that gold h/w is kinda garish with the blue. I prefer blue with silver h/w. I agree with 53baglady though - pick whichever one that suits your wardrobe more.
My fear is that though I love red, it's somehow too red if that makes sense 
My wardrobe is mainly black so I have no problem pairing either.

The red is certainly a very bright color but I would say that both colors would certainly stand out against black.
just an FYI... amazon has the teal on sale http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
I'm so undecided, now I'm looking at the hardware thinking is it too flashy
It's such a personal thing but I find the matte leather colours are *nicer* for this bag. (Ok, I've only seen Tan & Lavender which are matte).
I've only seen the Teal irl and not the Red but from what I can tell and from what I've read, these have a shinier finish. That, combined with bright gold hard ware starts to get a bit flashy for ME...it IS a pretty bag in ALL colours, I honestly think so but yes...I'd rather have it slightly subdued because it's a substantial size for a satchel...not massive but ykwim?
Personally, I like brushed gold, matte gold or just subtle gold hardware over bright shiny gold...it's still a gorgeous bag in any colour and in any leather though.
Even in Tan, I was starting to wonder if the brushed but bright gold hard ware was bit too *gold* for me but I'm on the fence now. I've also fallen for the Lavender but am waiting on Cement or Raspberry (just in case).
I just was at the mall (King of Prussia, outside of Philadelphia) and Nordstroms had the new Mini MAC and Brynn in the Raspberry color, the same shade the Cupid can be pre-ordered in. Raspberry is a shade of Plum with reddish-black undertones.... or if you think of the darkest purple shade that you could see in a Raspberry fruit, it's that color. The photos on Saks make it look like it's a dark burgandy-pink, and I just wanted to clarify that it's more purply than burgandy. Gold hardware looks REALLY nice with those bags.
