Really? This is most interesting to me. It'd be great to see the two shades next to each other for comparison. I just saw a smaller accessory in Violine and it was very close to a lighter version of eggplant or light grape juice---absolutely lovely color.
The MOST amazing color in ostrich...!

^^^ me, too, orchids.......
Oh Roxane, could you post a pic of your violine ostrich bearn?? In sunlight and out of sunlight? I would be verrrry grateful...
eta: I just saw your post, Roxane, thanks...would love a pic if you get a chance.
OK Talk about the lighting last night. Soft inside, florescent white bright, inside bright. The colors could change with the light.
I am loving this thread, there is so much lovely purple! My fave Hermes color!!!! Raisin, violine (don't know where I got violette from, I'm a nutjob)...whatever it is, I'm loving all these pics and am in hog heaven!
Here is a photo of my violine ostrich bearn, taken next to a window, with early afternoon light (cloudy day) coming from front, right, and back, and light reflected off a mirror on the left. This is quite close to what violine ostrich looks like in daylight. It tends to look less faded and "glow" more at night with indoors lighting.
I'm actually still debating whether or not to buy the raisin ostrich bearn I saw, assuming it is still there. The raisin is a compact bearn, which would fit better into some of my smaller bags.

I first saw the bag about 8 barstools down at a Morton's Steakhouse, so not dark but certainly not light. I didn't realize the beauty of the color until....we were in the Ladie's room together. I complimented the woman with the bag, but she was on the cold side, so I did not ask any questions. OHHHH...should have! In the bright light of the restroom, it was still this deep, rich plumish to eggplantish color, darker than any of the beautiful items you ladies have posted. Honestly, the only way I can describe it is the shade of RAISIN when it is done in BOX LEATHER. I have a box raisin bag, and is is very close to this. WHAT IS IT??? Could a color be SO'd that generally does not get made??
Candace, you're not a nutjob! There is such a color as Violette, which is a brighter purple than Raisin and Violine. I've only seen Violette come in Chevre Mysore however; I have it in some accessories and love this color.
Roxane, gorgeous Bearn! I love Violine.
Same colour family but not sure that it ever comes in ostrich - could the colour you were looking at be 'prune'? I've only ever seen it in doblis but it has rich plum-like/aubergine jewel tones. I just thought if none of the 'straight' purples here seemed right it could have been something with deeper red tones. Or maybe I'm just muddying the issue!
Oh you women are KILLING me... now I'm intrigued. Crap, just when I told my DH "oh honey, I'm done w/ purses..."
Can't wait to see a swatch of this delicious color. It sounds divine and I don't even like ostrich. Gosh, what's wrong w/ me?

In the reference section (available colors/leathers) there is a 'India Bleu' color listed with ostrich leather. I wonder what that is?
As a "Card Carrying Lover Of All Things Purple" , this thread has me extremely intrigued!!
Every pic posted is SO beautiful!!
Looking forward to seeing if this my serious color can be named.
