Re: Color Of Your Basic Summer Handbag?

I have a champagne color purse--not metallic just that soft tannish beige color. but it is rather big and am looking for a smaller one---think it is from baggalini, not into the multi color  or neon pop of color, just a lighter color but not white or cream.

Re: Color Of Your Basic Summer Handbag?

Black.  I have thought of changing out from black, but somehow, that just never happens.  I have other options in optic white, opalescent white, light pink, purple, navy, turquoise, red, brown, and multicolored (I believe the word is color-blocked) bags that do not get any use at all. It's kind of sad, actually, because I truly love handbags. I think I will need to do something about that and force myself to wear at least a couple of different bags this week. On a positive note, at least I am not purchasing any new handbags. (An exception would have to be made, should one of my black handbags break or get scuffed.) Thank you for your post about this, @ECBG.

For fun and some "eye candy" you might like to take a stroll through HOBO International.  Their leather is absolutely beautiful, almost like glove leather.

 

I kept a bag in my cart for several days, and they offered me 10% off!

Re: Color Of Your Basic Summer Handbag?

Well, @ECBG, of course I had to check out that line of bags.  I would literally get lost in that Divine handbag, because I would have the urge to stick my entire face against the outside of the bag to sniff its surely "divine", leathery smell.  Of course, I could do that with a couple of my already existing handbags, too... (Like my giant brown Valerie D&B bag and my luscious light pink. slouchy, smooshy, cavernous, larger Coach bag, with a single, wide strap, too, of a style name I have forgotten. -- OK, so now I am going to get out that light pink bag and wear it.  Thanks!)

Teal, unless it really clashes with something I'm wearing. Then I just go with a caramel colored one.

Am carrying a tan Sak crocheted bag right now, but also like to carry a navy VB crossbody, a light blue floral VB crossbody, and occasionally an Aigner straw bag that is at least 25 years old and looks brand new.

Re: Color Of Your Basic Summer Handbag?

My new Spring bag, she's beautiful and lightweight. I haven't enen used it yet since I'm usually using a belt bag. I just don't carry a lot of stuff anymore, I use a card carrier on the back of my phone--so that and some lipstick and the case for my aligners and that's it.

Re: Color Of Your Basic Summer Handbag?

I do not wear just one bag through any season.  I coordinate my bag with what I am wearing.
