I just had to make a digital bag to get a good look:<br /> <a href="http://s608.photobucket.com/albums/tt167/bigigi/?action=view&#038;current=bag.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s608.photobucket.com/al.....nt=bag.jpg</a><br /> Get it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102877 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 09:15:29 +0000 RoseandJoan 102877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone, I never expected a unanimous YAY on this piece, I honestly thought there may be concerns about the colour or not seeing the completed item before committing to paying a deposit. </p> <p>YLF always surprises and amazes me. </p> <p>I'm going to see Caroline in person in a couple of weeks and will order the bag then, I just want to touch and wear the black bag in her workshop to make sure I'm comfortable with the size of the bag and length of strap. I will post many photos when the handbag is completed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102863 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:23:10 +0000 Chris 102863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous bag shape and I think the green will mix in well with your wardrobe.<br /> Can't say no to a new bag especially a custom made peice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102861 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:17:13 +0000 Angie 102861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me! What a beautiful bag. I love the lack of hardware. I want one in apple green too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102852 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:20:43 +0000 cciele 102852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, go for it! I love the color--it will add a great pop to your spring/summer wardrobe, and I also think the bag will look good in green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102850 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:54:41 +0000 susand 102850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh is that lovely...I would love one in red. </p> <p>Lucky you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102841 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:47:23 +0000 agrace 102841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems you really like it and want it and have thought about the versatility for your wardrobe and it sounds like you are going to really get some good use out of it. I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102836 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:29:24 +0000 marianne 102836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yay (even though it doesn't carry much weight considering my bag ineptitude). Love the style, and it would look great in that green... and I can picture you with it very vividly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102830 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:14:54 +0000 Melissa 102830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote YAY. I agree that the black might be a little boring, but in that leaf green I think it's a standout that will go with lots of things.</p> <p>Hope you'll post pictures if you go with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102822 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:16:38 +0000 chewyspaghetti 102822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a really cute style, and I love the color. I think it will work really well for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102817 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:03:16 +0000 Louise 102817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooo what a statement piece, it's a yay from me both on the leaf green colour and the pleated style x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102816 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:02:37 +0000 Anonymous 102816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it absolutely! I'm jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-made-leaf-green-handbag-yay-or-nay#post-102813 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:59:04 +0000 RoseandJoan 102813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have today been in touch with the lovely Caroline Marr from Cuero Handbags, she lovingly designs and crafts handbags from her small workshop in the Scottish Borders. After exchanging several emails with Caroline this morning I'm considering having this handbag made<br /> <a href="http://cuero.co.uk/index.php?productID=220" rel="nofollow">http://cuero.co.uk/index.php?productID=220</a></p> <p>I love the vintage aesthetic of the bag but I'm finding the black a little uninspiring. Caroline explained that I could choose the colour of leather for no additional charge, the leather she has at present which would work with the design are a dark red leather, a brick red suede or a leaf green leather. I'm so in love with the idea of a pleated leaf green handbag!</p> <p>The brighter green spot of this particular bag is the leather in question<br /> <a href="http://cuero.co.uk/index.php?productID=223" rel="nofollow">http://cuero.co.uk/index.php?productID=223</a></p> <p>Can you visualise the handbag? The quality of the bags are fantastic, they are lined with suede and have featured in British Vogue.</p> <p>I'm not overly concerned with the green being a spring colour because it will work with my wardrobe. I have black, brown and grey boots and shoes. Black, brown and black/white and denim jackets. </p> <p>I am a little concerned that I'm being carried away with the romanticism of having a bag made so my question to you is YAY OR NAY?</p> <p>Thank you for your replies</p> <p>Julie </p>
