Red Handbags

Pecky — Sun, 26 Aug 2018 16:12:37 GMT

I have many handbags but never owned a red one. I saw a Rebecca Minkoff large messenger bag at Nordstroms Rack in a beautiful shade of red. It is a blue/red. I did purchase it but I don't know how much use I will get out of it. Do you tend to use your red handbags alot?

My mom gave me a red Kate Spade awhile ago, but I don't reach for it often.

Makes me think I should.

I’ve never had a red handbag. All my bags are either black or brown. Heck I don’t even do white or beige in the summer. I have tons of bags but I just can’t for whatever reason bring myself to buy colors. I almost bought a navy bag from Brighton but settled for the black. I guess I’m either safe or boring. Enjoy your red bag.

in all honesty, no I don’t. I have two red Dooney bags, but ‘I don’t carry them often. The main colors I carry are dark brown, medium brown, cognac and midnight blue.

I don't have a large handbag collection, but I do like colors. I should say that when I had a corporate career in NYC, I only had black bags. Now, I don't buy black, but aim for colors that go with most of what I wear, because I don't switch them out for each outfit. I love red bags, though, and would definitely use it!

I use my red handbag fairy often. At first, I didn't use it much but once I got use to the look of a red bag instead of brown, I really began to like it. I have since purchased bags in several colors and patterns. I rarely carry a plain brown, black or tan bag these days.

@Pecky, I do not own a red handbag, but if I did, I would use it all of the time. I do not own a black or a brown bag, but I like colorful handbags. Use yours and enjoy it. People will always remember the woman with the red handbag.

I love red but it is not a color I can wear well so I use it as an accessory. I have two red handbags, several pairs of red shoes, some red bracelets, etc. I wear them often.

I have many red handbags. I love the color red-in fact sometimes DH calls me "red".

I have several red handbags and carry them all the time. I love red and I love the pop of color. I feel red can work with anything.

Red is one of my favorite "neutrals." The first red bag I remember having was my Coach bucket; it was my go to bag for work many months of the year. Now my favorite red bag is a Dooney Microfiber. I still have the red bucket, but it's really too heavy for me now.

In my Florida closet there's a Sak crossbody in red, but I also will take the Dooney when I go back later in the fall.

I love red purses. A few months ago, I bought a Hobo International handbag, the Hero style, in red. Love it.

And I just bought a Radley of London crossbody, also in red.

Unless I'm going to a funeral or a special occasion, I carry whatever purse I feel like carrying, regardless of color and whether it matches my outfit.

Nothing like a red bag (or raspberry) to liven up an otherwise neutral outfit.

Funny you should ask about a red bag, as I just bought one the other day from Macy's. On sale and I had a coupon! Red is a great color. Go for it.

I have 3 red bags and they are all Dooney. I love red bags and love to carry them. I use them with almost any other color of clothing. I just love any red bag.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I went and bought that red bag. It is so pretty and I can't wait to carry it.

I have a fire-engine red patent Maxx NY handbag that I love. It's really showy and I only use it when I'm wearing all black.

@Pecky I have only one red handbag -- the MZ Wallace Coco in Carmine. A red bag is nice for holidays, with blue jeans or with dressier outfits in navy, grey, tan and black. I hope you enjoy yours!
