Thanks for the pics! I like cinder much better on saffiano leather than soft leather. So pretty! Seems like it's another shade of taupe. Dark dune is a brown/grey and cinder is grey/mauve.

I agree. I had the Cinder Riley but ended up returning it because I preferred the way it looked in saffiano leather.

I have a large luggage Selma and a medium dark dune, yet, I'm tempted by this. It's gorgeous. If it becomes available here, I may have to get it....

Thanks, for the modeling pic. They are always very helpful.

You should get it if it becomes available!! And I too have DD but I justify it by the fact that this has silver hardware and goes better with my silver jewelry!!

DiamondsForever, now that I've seen both dark dune and cinder next to each other in Christa's photos, I'd say even though they are both taupe, they're different shades of taupe. If you have more browns in your wardrobe, I'd go with dark dune. It has more brown in it than grey. If you have more greys in your wardrobe, especially if they have the mauve undertone, I'd go with cinder. If you have both browns and greys, I'd probably get both.

Unfortunately for me, the greys in my wardrobe do not match cinder. The greys I wear are true, medium or dark greys without any undertone. The mauve undertone in cinder is very pretty, but I like to match my bags as closely as I can to my other accessories (i.e., shoes, belts, etc.) and, in particular, cinder is the wrong shade for my grey ankle boots.

Sounds like you'd be better off with pearl or steel grey Ubo? Are your grey ankle boots dark or light?

I was in London today so had a chance to go by MK. Ive decided I'm.not keen on Cinder in the soft leather IRL. So it comes down to how many new Saffiano bags I need .. Maybe a Jet Set in one and a medium Selma the other. I wear a lot of black, white, paler grey, pinks and jeans if that helps. Some cream but not much brown.

DiamondsForever, after I looked at cinder and steel grey in store, I did some research and realized steel grey never came out in the large Selma, only the medium in the USA. I then did some more research and came across heather grey (dark grey). I remember someone posting a large heather grey Selma last year, but not being interested in grey at the time. Fast forward...I saw a large heather grey Selma on eBay (never see this color...EVER) and snatched it up. There were over 10 people watching it. I never understand why people keep watching stuff on eBay, but never buy.

Anyway, fast forward again, I just received it today...crossed my fingers while I opened the box...and instantly fell in love. I'd never seen it in real life, so took a big chance on the purchase. Well, here's my new large heather grey Selma. It should be my last Selma since I also have luggage, malachite, and sapphire. Also, it's my only true grey handbag, so fits nicely in my collection. I love that it's an icy, dark grey...will be great for fall/winter. And the second picture is next to my grey suede ankle boots. Good match. :okay:

And for anyone who's interested, here is a color comparison between heather grey and dark dune. Large heather grey Selma next to dark dune (older, darker shade) Hamilton tote.

Thank you. I got so lucky. I think steel grey is a shade darker than heather grey, but I really like the cool iciness of heather grey IRL. Steel grey is more matte and dark.

Huge congrats! Such a great color!

I love it! Pictures don't even do it justice.

Gorgeous!!! Perfect match. I'm going to be really sad if they don't start releasing more colors in the large Selma here in the US.....

Thank you. Based on what others have posted, I'm not sure we'll see the large Selma again anytime soon. (except black) I hope he re-releases it in more colors down the line. However, I'm perfectly content with my current color choices.

Yes, you have a nice selection of Selma's. I was hoping for a merlot or an awesome shade of green. I currently have 3 neutral Selma's. I want some color.....

You never found the shade of green you were looking for? Nothing out of gooseberry, olive, malachite, or palm green?

I'm not sure he'll do a merlot Selma (cross your fingers). What about one of the older colors like cinnabar or claret?
