Gorgeous! I think putty may be one of my HG colors for a vintage Coach bag. Is this color true to life?

These bags currently for sale are all described as putty, but look very different.

The middle one looks closest to how I would describe putty.

The bottom one came in stone and butterscotch. It could be one of those. I don't think Coach was using the color name putty at the time.

The top one looks like mahogany.

Here are the color charts I have with putty in it. The last two look most like how I would expect putty to be. Once it has aged and been handled, there could be a wide variation in how it looks, and would have darkened in a lot of cases. Putty is a NYC color so if the bag doesn't have a NYC creed, I would assume it isn't putty.

I would say yes. There is an 'anaemic' look to (mine, at least) Putty. Like a cool tan.

Hutton wallet in wine/brass! :loveeyes:
View attachment 5274450

After the pandemic started, I moved into a wallet I had thrifted for about $10, an Optic jacquard with a big chunky nickel turnlock, in like new condition. I have been slowly weaning myself down from a checkbook (remember them?) size wallet. I realized a smaller wallet would make it easier to switch bags. I really like the quality of the leather interior of the Optic wallet and honestly I might still be using it if that big turnlock wasn't getting in the way. So last spring, I saw the Hutton wallet in rust/painted canvas and it was love. But not at $200. By the time the summer sale came along, I waited too long and it was gone. Gone. :crybaby:
I did console myself with a cute little pebbled "Apple" wallet. But I knew I needed a back up before that pretty parchment color got too dirty!
I was amazed when I saw this two weeks ago on the website at 40% off! I ordered it immediately. I was starting to think I might not get it as the delivery date kept getting pushed back, pushed back. With no tracking info available. And to find it in my box tonight!!!
I love your wallet so much I’ve ordered one for me! I noticed it awhile ago and admired the beautiful leather. But for this great sale price I decided to order it! Should be here by dinner time. I’ll check-in then.
