I was going to say it's nice to have a bag that is close to your hair colour but only after all the practical aspects are covered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classic-or-boring-bag#post-751407 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:39:15 +0000 texstyle 751407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to go for it (#3) but ordered it both in the camel shown and in a saphire over-dyed version to see if I prefer the more RATE or more classic style. Or for the price, maybe both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classic-or-boring-bag#post-751248 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:44:03 +0000 Ingunn 751248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really diffucult to give any reasonable advice here, because as you say, it's very personal. But I think practicality beats looks, so if the tablet argument is important to you, go for #3. It is a very nice bag, and not very different from the other two anyway. It looks a bit more structured, and that's on trend now - good, right? Still, the style is very classic, so it will not date quickly. It is dark enough for winter IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classic-or-boring-bag#post-751229 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:32:46 +0000 rachylou 751229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say I prefer the first two (the darker ones), they have beautiful lines. But if the last can fit a tablet, and with that nice wide strap, I'd totally throw the first two over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classic-or-boring-bag#post-751132 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:12:01 +0000 Debbie 751132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color of the 2nd and 3rd ones. if you carry a tablet often then I would definitely factor that in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classic-or-boring-bag#post-751130 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:08:52 +0000 texstyle 751130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, I may go for the last one (edit) because it's big enough to hold a tablet. I know handbags are such a personal choice thing but they also add so much to an outfit. Handbags and shoes will always keep me frustrated I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classic-or-boring-bag#post-751117 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:58:52 +0000 Angie 751117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That really depends on your bag needs and lifestyle. It's a nice bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classic-or-boring-bag#post-751045 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:04:57 +0000 texstyle 751045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still have not made the commitment of a new bag. I've shopped so many hours. I've found several great possibilities but ruled them out due to things such as heavy weight, high cost, too "showy", etc. I bought a RATE vintage bag that is okay but it is just a bit too RATE really and I think it's also a big big.</p> <p>I've decided that my desired budget is around $100 - $200 (as opposed to the nearly $400 Brahmin or D&amp;B bags I looked at before).</p> <p>So this brings me to fewer choices if I want leather, which I do and if I want brown, which I really do as well.</p> <p>This Tignanello bag fits all my main criteria. Not "too" deep. If I could find one that is slightly wider and less deep it would be better - but I can't find one with my other criteria, including: Crossbody. Brown. Leather. Simple in style. No big logos or big shiny emblem closures, 1 or 2 Outside pockets, one slip, one zip in this case. Inside pockets .Light weight. No chain straps.</p> <p>But is this style a good classic style or is it just boring?</p> <p>EDIT: found one more contender that I may like even more as it is slightly wider and has 2 ext. pockets. The color is closer to the blonde/reddish highlights in my hair but it's not a very dark purse for fall/winter. Hmm.</p> <p>And which color is better? Either would work for my wardrobe. </p>
