Gray But Definitely Not Moody

I just saw the latest color from the FW2012- 13 collection of Celine's mini luggage totes.  This very sleek gray color which I think is more graphite gray than the standard gray is very handsome. Yes, handsome-- not beautiful. There was something very strong about the bag, a word which I would not have used to describe the Celine luggage tote if it were in black.

It is made of smooth box leather as opposed to the usual pebbled and textured one. Funny though, I remember that the smoother leather seemed to cost more than the textured one as well. If this graphite gray luggage tote were made from the pebbled leather, I don't think it would have been as handsome as it is. I think this is a perfect alternative to either navy or black. The gray color on this Celine bag is really so unusual and is a real stunner in my opinion.

Would you have preferred the Cartier red (this was the description which most accurately captures the color) one over this graphite gray? 

Seen here are the Cartier red, croc stamped phantom, and the "Lune" winter white Celine luggage totes

I personally would have still chosen the gray-- simply because the color is really quite unusual.
