Palomino...?

stevieb — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 03:39:29 GMT

I'm sure the color has been described somewhere on these boards, but I'm considering a newer bag in this color and would really appreciate descriptions. Is this a true mustard, a spicy mustard, a yellow-gold, is there a hint of beige or brown...? Really looking forward to hearing from those of you who own or have seen this color up close and personal!

I Googled this DB color & found this comparison chart on eBay. Maybe this will help?

Wow, interesting chart and I really wish some of those old bags would come back! Thanks so much for the link. The palomino in the chart looks a good bit lighter than the one posted on the Dooney site or here. I love that bag they show in old gold and what a great color!

I have the satchel in the Palomino and I would say it is a deep sunny yellow gold. No brown mixed in!

Thanks so much for the info, and I also researched and found an older thread or two where it was discussed. As pretty as it seems, I already have two golden yellow bags and was hoping for something a little more subdued, so I think I'll pass on the palomino. I appreciate the feedback and can now focus on deciding among other color options...

The "new" Dooney Palomino is darker than French's mustard, but not like Guldens...

I checked out the Bay's chart, since I have an older zip around wallet (wallet on a string) and a handbag (R95 PL) both in the Palomino. The "new" Palomino is darker than the old awl shade, but lighter than the Yellow (from 1984) on the chart, (sort of a mix of the 2) if that makes sense.

Perfect description! I was hoping for Guldens of maybe even Dijon!

Sill loving that vintage 'old gold' AWL... Gosh, they need to come back out with that one...

Gosh, you know, I have no idea. I've seen her toting that pack a million times and don't think I've ever noticed. I'll have to pay closer attention next time I'm watching. Love that show...

Out of curiosity, I just Googled it and there are a number of threads of people asking about that pack. One insists it's a Brahmin, which I suppose it could be, but from recollection, it doesn't look like Brahmin to me.

It's a SOCO Paris bag. Someone on a forum mentioned getting a smaller version on ebay.

See the pattern on the leather? That's the pattern SOCO Paris uses.

Here's a purse that looks like it came form the same collection as Elaines bag:

Ebay has a few SOCO Paris bags, but nothing like the backpack is listed right now.

I bought the satchel last year in Palomino. I'd say it is a yellow gold. Funny thing was my husband (not knowing the name of the color) called my bag ""Trigger"" the first time he saw it.

I ordered the last TSV in the Palomino color and I didn't like it at all. It was an orangy/yellow with a yellow zipper!! Maybe I am the only one that got on in that color but mine was not ""gold"" at all...it had orange hint to it. Plus with the brighter yellow zipper I just knew I would not keep it. I sent it back and got the blue bag and I love it.

Thanks to all for comparisions... I was also curious about the shopper

http://www.qvc.com/Dooney-&-Bourke-Calf-Leather-Convertible-Shopper-Sage,.product.A236324.html?upsh=1&sc=A236324-CSWB

in Sunset described as European Gold. I almost ordered and a Sage became available ... but I am curious about where this color falls in the gold /yellow Dooney spectrum

TIA

Sunset is very close to Palomino, but Sunset has a tad bit more orange in it whereas Palomino has more yellow in it. Both are great colors. I have the previous TSV in Palomino and it goes with everything as a chic neutral. Palomino is better in person. You are lucky to get the Calf Leather Convertible Shopper in Sage!

Thanks EdithEllenLily

I think I would like both Palomino and Sunset- maybe the Palomino a bit more. I love that golden yellow color as a neutral. I was going to change the Sage back to Sunset- but my order is In process and won't let me change the color . I may go see what else the palomino comes in.

I think you'll probably be happy with the sage. It went really fast and is now not listed, while the sunset option is still there. Think of it this way, if the sage doesn't meet your expectations, you can always exchange it for the other choice. Personally, I think I'd prefer palomino to sunset, but that's just me...
