MB: cranberry in pebbled leather this year is a beautiful color.... very rich and saturated. If we weren't so conditioned to Dooney color names, I'd call this years cranberry a true WINE color.
In the past the cranberry was a combination of a darker red and a wine, it was also a muted shade. Another example of strange Dooney naming. And last year's wine was also a very muted and red based shade (at least in the City collection).
So, here we are in 2017 and the pebble cranberry is a very nice Wine shade.
It's worth adding to a collection as long as we don't let prior naming and colors confuse us about what we already have or don't have.
When you are at the outlet, also check out the plum in pebbled leather. It's another really nice color. As always, try to look at the colors in natural light, not in fluorescent lights. The colors really do look different in the front of the store, near the door, where the sunlight comes in compared to the back of the store with only the indoor lighting. Of course, so many stores are buried deep within a mall that it's hard to get any natural light.
Thanks for the info GF!
It really sounds like a color I need. I think the only cranberry-wine shade bags that I have is a Nina in cranberry from one of the 12DOD, the wine city barlow and a saffiano zip zip (don't remember the name, probably bordeaux). I'll check both, since the purple family is something I don't have much of in my collection. Actually I'm not even sure if I have any purple-ish Dooney.
I do that, check them near the door. The outlet here is outside so we get some light (when it's nice outside). Good thing the SAs know me, otherwise they would think I'm trying to steal the bag.
