I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that metallics are considered a neutral, and while I'm open to metallic shoes, I'm still conservative about metallic bags for daytime. Oh well, baby steps :)<br /> You're also right on how Matt &#38; Nat "round" shape makes them look softer. </p> <p>I'm not sure about the white, I'd have to see it up close. </p> <p>Since I already saw the Portishead in Japanese Paper, I'm now very curious about the Pool material. Hmm. </p> <p>Again, thanks very much, ladies, I'll keep you posted on what happens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-matt-nat-bag-question#post-42120 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:00:45 +0000 Tanya 42120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like them both, especially the Hamburg in blue. I think that they would go pretty much with everything, including Docs and feminine pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-matt-nat-bag-question#post-42116 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:57:43 +0000 BLB 42116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both! I'm personally partial to the Hamburg in Pewter and hope to get it or another in the same colour for spring/summer I can assure you that these bags are FABULOUS in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-matt-nat-bag-question#post-42007 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:21:49 +0000 Ana 42007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Portishead, it's very unique! I'm not sure about Docs, I'd have to see it. It could definitely go with other things though, so I think you should get it and just give it a go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-matt-nat-bag-question#post-41979 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:01:27 +0000 Inge 41979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Again, it's hard to choose between these two bags Lena, such great picks, I love them both. (I guess I'm attracted to 'kooky' shapes as well then;-)<br /> I think it's fun to have a bag that's a little bit unusual, so I wouldn't hesitate about getting the Portishead.</p> <p>The Hamburg is beautiful in red, but I've just had a look at both styles in white (since you said you would like a cream bag): I've never been partial to white bags, but these could change my mind. Have you considered trying them in white? Pewter would be a good colour for Spring as well, but the M&#38;N pewter looks a bit too shiny for my taste (at least online, I haven't seen them in person).</p> <p>As far as your other questions are concerned: I think they have just enough of an edge to make feminine pieces even more interesting, and at the same time (it sounds contradictory, doesn't it), they are 'soft' enough (I think it's their 'rounder' shape') to pair them with your Docs.<br /> (I am wondering a bit about how the black bag I ordered will look with the silver Docs, so great questions Lena;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-matt-nat-bag-question#post-41972 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:42:00 +0000 dee2do 41972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Portishead is a weird shape. Did you see the side view? I've never seen anything like it. Interesting. Let us know what you decide. I think they'd go fine with anything. It's nice to mix it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-matt-nat-bag-question#post-41954 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:28:03 +0000 Angie 41954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are KILLER. I see no reason why you can’t make either work all year round for your style. GET! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-matt-nat-bag-question#post-41902 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:47:54 +0000 Lena 41902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone and happy New Year! </p> <p>Inge's recent post reminded me to ask your advice on a Matt and Nat bag. </p> <p>I saw them at Nordies several months ago, and now that they are going on sale online, I'm tempted to try one. I'm looking for a long wearing and light bag that can be used across several seasons. I'd really like a cream, but Matt and Nat don't make one. I liked the grey, but can it be used in spring? I'm not big on black bags, but I'm open to changing my mind. I like reds, but they are not on sale yet (I can wait, though).</p> <p>I'm weirdly attracted to the Portishead style.<br /> <a href="http://www.piperlime.com/browse/product.do?cid=41470&#038;pid=626304&#038;scid=626304002" rel="nofollow">http://www.piperlime.com/brows.....=626304002</a> </p> <p>The design is very peculiar - you can access the main compartment from both sides. And I can't seem to resist these kooky shapes. I have a short torso, so while I also like the Avril (the style Inge picked), I probably need something less tall. The Portishead fit very well under my arm. There's also the Hamburg <a href="http://www.mattandnat.com/product/display/652" rel="nofollow">http://www.mattandnat.com/product/display/652</a></p> <p>A part of me is attracted to the edgy tougher look and feel of these bags. But I also feel like they would wear me and not the other way around. Maybe I'm just not used to the zippers and bolts, I don't know. I know it's hard to tell without a picture. </p> <p>Do you guys think they will contrast well with feminine pieces? Can they be worn with Doc Martens or is it too much? </p>
