Silver Hardware Please Or Possible

cbrite — Sun, 04 Dec 2016 10:07:03 GMT

On all or at least a lot of your handbags..and GILI... I'm not into brass or gold. Silver's my thing.

Plus a zipper on top to keep things inside, especially a bigger bag. It seems all have gone to a brass look with fringe/tassels... ufff :/ - and rose gold on jewelry with shorter chains. TY

~~ETA - I'm still using my great Bruce M bag from his first visit at the Q, long ago. It's been through the mill and is a great bag - larger, black pebble w/ silver hardware and padded shoulder strap. I get a lot of compliments too. Good stuff : )

Hi @cbrite

I can certainly pass your feedback along - great suggestions! And it is nice to hear you are still using your Bruce M bag!

Have a great day!

I completely agree! The gold tone or brass is a deal breaker for me. If it is not silver tone, I will not buy it.

Count me in on the silver hardware side. I made the mistake of buying a wallet with a gold zipper, you wouldn't think it would be a big deal, but it bugs me every time I look at it.

I absolutely LOVE my BMak black pebble leather hobo. So much so that I have not been tempted to buy a handbag in forever - and that's saying a whole bunch for a handbag nut. Found it at Marshall's on clearance for $50. Best bag ever.

PS - silver hardware and only silver hardware for this gal.

I have a bag w/ 2 tone hardware (I think BRIGHTON)... the best of both worlds. Although I prefer silver in my jewelry, I'm noticing a trend towards gold tone buttons, zippers, etc.

Ladies I agree, I will not purchase a bag with brassy or gold tone hand ware. I don't get it 90% of handbags and wallets are in gold tone,to find one that's not is rare. To me the gold tone looks cheap, no matter the designer.

Registering my vote too! Some brands used to at least offer silver tone in certain colors, and some still do, but it's rare. It must be hard to please everyone when a new trend comes out, and produce so many different options. Luckily, Tignanello still makes silver hardware. Cheers!

While I mostly wear silver/white gold, I do mix metals, so hardware color isn't usually a deal breaker for me. BUT, I hate really bright, brassy tones...that does look cheap to me.

Dooney bags, IMO, have very nice "light" gold hardware that I think goes very well with either gold or silver...but that's me!

@LibbyLib

Yes, that's true but unfortunately they have up to 40% plastic on their leather bags, so that's a deal breaker for me.

@cbrite

Thanks for starting this thread!

I wish the QVC HANDBAG BUYER would keep in mind just how much silver and "designer" silver the Q sells .... and carrying a bag with brassy hardware just isn't acceptable!

IMO ...... 50% of all handbag hardware should be SILVER .... or do not carry the line any longer!

I guess I am one of the few that hates any silver/white hardware on bags or clothing!! I only wear yellow gold jewelry. I have a slight golden tone to my skin and silver/white toned accessories do not look good next to my skin. I do not own any white colored jewelry at all. However, I do not like the yellow, bright , brassy color of metal on anything. I like the burnished, toned down golden color on my clothing and accessories. I have found that when I like the look/size/color of a handbag, it always has white hardware which means that I will not purchase it!!

I'm a big fan of silver hardware too. I have a few Dooneys with the brass but vastly prefer the silver. In fact gold is a deal killer as far as I'm concerned. I can't believe they do gray bags with gold hardware. They look awful to my eye.

@Tinkrbl44 Yes, rather a blessing and a curse regarding the PU "leather" on trim pieces. Using PU on bag straps keeps the price down while you still get to enjoy leather on the main parts of the bags. I'd love to own a finer leather bag someday, but I've told myself that with all the hungry or homeless children in the world, I'd have some nerve buying a $500 purse. That usually shuts me right up. ;-)

I too prefer silver hardware. I don't know why they shouw heavy duty brass zippers on expensive bags - especially on a gray bag. It looks tacky.
