LOL, I am part of this club too!! And given that I really don't like the new bags, my list is pretty long. I remember when I had a zillion chances to buy bags like the Poppy Sequin Spotlights for next to nothing with PCE and now they sell for $$$ on ebay....blush gathered Sophia, oh my list goes on
But I regret selling my Raisin Sabrina with silver hardware. I think it was an Asian exclusive I managed to snag while still in Jax
I now miss my madison ocelot sadie that I returned before the January deadline. I had high hopes for all the new stuff coming out and decided to return anything I hadn't used yet. I normally carry bigger bags but I think that sadie was a good combo of a classy shape with a fun print. I've started hunting ebay for it but refuse to pay $200 for a nwt when I had bought it last year for around $100 from the outlet.
I want robin's egg now but I'm afraid to buy it on ebay in case I don't really love it IRL. I don't know if I ever saw it IRL. There were so many Legacy colors and at the time I didn't think I liked the duffle style that much. I should have bought more Courtenays. I wish my black cherry bucket bag was a duffle - the bucket is huge!
Here is my robin's egg e/w next to chambray. Both are pretty and different enough. I missed out on the black cherry duffle too but settled for a deep port one. I only have one courtenay and wished I had bought the periwinkle courtenay when it was on FOS.
I have robin so I don't know if robin's egg is too close. My Courtenay is robin. I had bright coral but I returned it when I got the peony Isabelle. I've thought about getting a deep port duffle but then I'd have no reason to keep my black cherry bucket bag and I know I'd have to sell it for less than I paid. The color is perfect.
I didn't buy chambray because I have cornflower Madison Hailey. The SA told me it was too close! The cornflower is lighter, colder and crinkle patent.
I should be happy with my duffle collection. I have a good variety of colors.
I know you have a good variety already but here is a comparison shot of robin's egg and robin. I think they are very different whereas robin and tourmaline are more similar imo
That's quite a difference! Are you sure that is robin? It looks like it has gold hardware.
It is robin with silver hardware, I promise you. It must be the lighting. I should find a better spot to take a picture. The e/w duffle in the front is robin's egg with the brass hardware. The two are very different but I think you still need to see robin's egg irk if you can't return it to eBay seller.
So it is a lot less bright, right? I thought tourmaline was too bright which why I was happy to find robin. Then later, I wondered if I should have gotten tourmaline! How does robin's egg compare to mint? Is it as pastel?
ETA: It's hard to find robin's egg on ebay because most sellers don't know the color names. Some that are selling robin call it robin's egg.
I have never seen mint irl so I don't know how similar it is to robin's egg. I would not call robin's egg pastel --it is a muted light blue color. I still think you should see it. Here is a shot of robin's egg e/w in front, robin (left) and tourmaline (right).
Here is a robins egg dd:
I think that color is pretty close. Robin and tourmaline were too saturated for me. Mint washed me out. For some reason, I think it "glowed" too much for me. Robins egg was perfect. It seemed like more of a natural blue color. Aqua without too much green. More turquoise than chambray. More blue, less green than robin, tourmaline or mint.
I have a pic of this bag in my bag showcase, but it came out more saturated than IRL. I think the camera emphasizes blue tones.
So, if you love blues and are looking for the perfect aqua, IMO, this is it. If you feel like you have enough blues, this would be redundant.
I also have the bleecker mens business tote in ocean which is a lot different than this color, to me, even though it is also pretty neutral IRL, more so than its dd pic.
EDIT: OK, IRL if you look at this on an ipad 2 with no cover, the real bag is slightly more brown-green than the pic under my full-spectrum ge reveal incandescent lights. That is usually the case when you compare pigment to pixel light. IMO, it is the best aqua-like color Coach has come out with, but I am very picky about blues.
