Cognac gives a nice lift and warmth to anything it is paired with, such a great neutral and amazing with denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag/page/2#post-2033338 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 12:18:09 +0000 Janet 2033338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, I doubt I would keep both. I ordered this little black cylindrical bag too, and I like it but I haven’t determined yet whether it’s a keeper. It does look good with the variety of straps I own. I was basically looking for a structured but not stiff alternative to my fab but unstructured secondhand Gucci bag. I like the unusual shape but it may be just a tad small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag/page/2#post-2033317 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 09:28:31 +0000 Anonymous 2033317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really glad you ordered it. &nbsp;I looked at it for myself, but it is smaller than what I need at this point in my life. &nbsp;Can I assume you will be returning the black? &nbsp;Although I tend to duplicate, I don't see you as a serial duplicator. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag/page/2#post-2033307 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 07:38:22 +0000 rachylou 2033307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s the bit of blue that seals the deal.

The touch of teal just confirms it was meant to be yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033244 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 23:18:23 +0000 Anonymous 2033244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m glad that you are trying both the bag and the sandals.

I think you can get a lot of wear out of cognac, Janet. It will complement your warm brunette hair. And any denim or cobalt blue in your outfit will draw the bag in to the look. The sandals would go as nicely with shorts as with dresses. They are a sophisticated casual style for hot weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033160 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 19:41:11 +0000 Suz 2033160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the cognac and now you have made me want one.

It’ll be interesting to see if they do ‘pop’ together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033147 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 18:54:24 +0000 bella 2033147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely yes! so gorgeous, and I think would work well with your FP sandals as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033139 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 18:33:50 +0000 fifthandfinest 2033139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cognac. I don’t think it’ll date unduly. Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033130 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 18:08:28 +0000 Chris987 2033130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, cognac and any sort of blue is a gorgeous color combination. (Says me the lover of all things cognac, including the beverage ) As you say, you have a lot of blue and white for summer and adding some cognac is a terrific idea. </p> <p>I bought a black bag earlier this year with similar handles&nbsp;and a cross body strap. The handles can be used as-is or&nbsp; folded down, where they&nbsp;seamlessly become part of the design when using the cross body strap. I usually do the folded down/cross body strap version.&nbsp;I think of it as a sort of boho design that won't date all that quickly. The find is below - if you open it up you'll see a photo of how the bag looks with the handles folded down. </p> <p>For colder months to me cognac is a no brainer, although I personally have found footwear I like in this color to be a HEWI this past year. Not sure why and I will keep looking.&nbsp;</p> <p>Firmly&nbsp;on Team Enabling </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033129 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 18:06:38 +0000 Style Fan 2033129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sandals.&nbsp; They would look great with your summer wardrobe.&nbsp; I am hopeless with bags.&nbsp; I know nothing about them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033099 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 16:38:27 +0000 Anonymous 2033099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to take those justifications where I can find ‘em! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033097 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 16:30:22 +0000 Janet 2033097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, thanks, all! I ordered the sandals and the cognac bag. They're not inexpensive items, so they'll need to be items I want to wear right off the bat, but I'll only know if I order them to try!&nbsp;</p> <p>I returned a couple of items I tried from Anthro, and my other purchases of late have been super cheap and super practical (pajamas and underwear), so I'm feeling a little justified in placing an order. ;-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033092 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 16:14:15 +0000 Anonymous 2033092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m feeling your cognac bag possibility, too. I don’t think the handle will date it &amp; isn’t this the time of wearing what appeals and things not really looking dated anymore? :)<br /> It’s a unique bag, which is a plus with all your other interesting/unique accessories and it definitely adds something spicy to the color palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033087 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 16:08:13 +0000 Marilyn 2033087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous bag in cognac, Janet.&nbsp; Coach does a similar box shaped bag with that long zipper detail.....LOVE.&nbsp; The sandals are fantastic as well and I'd absolutely pair the two pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033079 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 15:20:30 +0000 Cardiff girl 2033079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the cognacbag goes really well with all the things that you show here and cognac is a classic .l do not think that it will date .lf it keeps calling to you I would put it out if it’s misery and buy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033061 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 13:47:04 +0000 Eliza 2033061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. The cognac is a treat. In the cooler months, it plays well with berries and burgundies and teals, as well as black. One year when traveling in Italy in November, the shop windows were full of ensembles in charcoal gray with cognac footwear and bags. It looked classic, fresh and rich. Of course, it's a slam dunk with any denim.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think the bag is classic enough in form and shape to carry that appealing blue accent for years.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033054 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 13:14:29 +0000 Kyle 2033054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love my cognac bag and sandals. They go with just about everything, including blue and black, which I think you wear, too. Should be a worthwhile new addition to your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033052 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 13:10:25 +0000 Anonymous 2033052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah , sorry Janet. I didn't realize it was a small bag. I assumed it was a big tote. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033037 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 12:23:42 +0000 Janet 2033037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the small size of the bag keeps it from looking too heavy with summer sandals (if you click through to see it styled, you'll see what I mean -- it's quite compact, which I actually really like).&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback! Still pondering... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033031 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 11:22:09 +0000 Helena 2033031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Like you I have a cool-toned wardrobe, but I have a small cognac complement for warmer weather and love how it lightens everything up. My vote is go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033023 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 11:00:46 +0000 Brooklyn 2033023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think cognac is a fantastic neutral. I like the handle because it incorporates teal. What could be better than that? Thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033019 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 10:53:32 +0000 kkards 2033019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>as someone who recently felt, and given into the call of a cognac bag, i say go for it...it's a very&nbsp;versatile, works really well with blue, and will work well into fall.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-the-call-of-a-cognac-bag#post-2033015 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 10:48:14 +0000 Toban 2033015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the bag and it looks great with your finds. The shoes are great, too. I don’t think the bag is too heavy to go with the shoes in an urban setting, a bit mismatched for the beach. </p>
