While thinking about this it is as much that I am evolving to a new style... my existing bag is pretty big with heavy feature zips... maybe I need something "neater" to go with patent ballets and oxfords!

Doesn't need to be a special fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-to-wear-with-patent-shoes#post-528699 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:37:15 +0000 jenanded 528699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in a dilemma... I have some new winter flats (I am from Aust!) and notice BOTH have black patent detailing. My black bag which I use SOOOO much is getting a bit shabby and is a plain black leather slouchy bag which I am considering replacing if the right bag comes along. Any ideas on styling/fabric/shape for the black bag? The shoes are lace up oxfords with patent detailing and chanel-esque dressy ballet flats with the black patent toe. I will mainly use the bag for work including work travel so a mini is no good but I still want it to be a handbag I can carry on my shoulder. My look is modern classic and I will do the shoes with wide leg pants, dressy knit tops, jackets, scarves for "very business" casual work style. Thanks everyone! </p>
