Color (Rouge Vif – Color Code 53): A vibrant, “bright red” with subtle warm undertones that remains striking in various lighting conditions.
-
Hardware (Metal Color): This specific model is finished with Gold-plated hardware (GHW), including the signature turn-lock, padlock, and base studs (feet).
-
Stitching: Features tonal red stitching that perfectly matches the ostrich hide for a seamless, refined appearance.
