I think you actually need two bags -- plain black and B&amp;W in some combination. And hey. I need a B&amp;W bag, too. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag/page/2#post-1089782 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 01:29:37 +0000 Marley 1089782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#9!&nbsp; I have the Brahmin black and white "Precious" and it pretty much works with everything in my wardrobe - and I think black and white is so much more fun, than plain black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag/page/2#post-1089779 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 01:29:05 +0000 Sveta 1089779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=85210&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=687763002" rel="nofollow">bag from Banana Republic </a>I was petting in Toronto...hmm, still like this one too!

I also like #5 which has a great shape. But #7 has a great color and a modern/retro vibe that I like, plus a strap for versatility.l </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag/page/2#post-1089760 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 01:19:20 +0000 Angie 1089760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, #9 or #5 in black.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag/page/2#post-1089740 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 01:07:49 +0000 Windchime 1089740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and white bags have really been catching my eye lately. With your wonderful fashion sense, I can definitely see you rocking a bag like the one in your 9th pic. </p> <p>On the other hand, there could be times when the black suits an outfit or occasion more than the colorblocked bag. Maybe you do "need" both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag/page/2#post-1089733 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 01:03:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 1089733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this but the black &amp; white one gets my vote - I think you need to actually put all your stuff in a bag &amp; try carrying it before buying. Ormaybe it's just me - some just don't look right once my stuff is in them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag/page/2#post-1089696 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 00:45:07 +0000 Sveta 1089696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you black and white satchel is beautiful!<br />Mander, it is a good point about the deep zipper. Actually this was one of the reasons I was attracted to #4 and 9 - they have zippers almost to the bottom on the sides!<br />Lisa, you are right: I don't like much hardware on my bags.&nbsp;Out of those #1-2 I was not sure about the&nbsp;studs (need to see in person)&nbsp;but all others seem pretty minimal to me.<br />Zap. #6 does come in black but this is cream I am really attracted to. Somehow this bag in black did not excite me at all...<br />karymk, yes,&nbsp;Danier is a Canadian brand, the one we are really proud of I am pretty picky to colorblocking though, the colors must be just right together for me to love them but black and white combo always has my heart!<br />Una, good point!<br />Dianthus, I definitely need to check in person!<br />mtgirl, It is a pretty bag!<br />I am leaning towards the black or black and white bag now. Maybe I need both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag#post-1089346 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:14:42 +0000 Anonymous 1089346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love my black and white bag so black &amp; white would be my choice.

No wonder I cannot decide because you are all over the map too! :-)<br />Parsley, like you I cannot buy a bag online because I really have to see and touch it and look how it works with my body. With Canadian not-very-friendly online shopping policies I cannot just order them to look and then send&nbsp;back: too expensive!<br />That BR bag looks nice. I do remember petting it in the store...I&nbsp;guess I need to pay a visit to BR again.<br />Neel, I would love to have that white and black Brahmin bag Rae and Natalie rock but again with Canadian online shopping hurdle I need to see it first :-(<br />Maybe I can get to Danier this week and do some on the spot research... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag#post-1088792 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:39:21 +0000 viva 1088792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and BR is 35% for the next few days, making that black and white bag quite reasonable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag#post-1088791 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:35:19 +0000 viva 1088791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 3 (for black) and 6 (for cream).

But it is more pricey. Of course with a 40% off day it might not be too bad.

I think you need to see them in person to make a decision. I know I ended up with a completely different bag than I thought after only seeing them online. You really have to touch and hold it, and look at the lining to tell.</p> <p>You mentioned that you'd like a black and white bag. Have you looked at this one?:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?vid=1&amp;pid=556681003">http://bananarepublic.gapcanad.....=556681003</a></p> <p>I haven't seen it in person, but I've been admiring it online. It might be bigger than what you're looking for, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag#post-1088630 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 03:51:02 +0000 Suz 1088630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, the bag dilemma. I am still debating a new bag, too, and several of these are on my personal "maybe" list, including the cream #6 and the B&amp;W, #9. I do wonder if they are the correct scale for you. I am even worried that they might be on the small side for me, although when I tried the cream one on it looked pretty good. I just wasn't sure if I liked the compartment set up on it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I suggest you go for black (and get some black booties...joking!!) In all seriousness, you really need two! You see...not only do you need a new scarf and gloves and hat for your new coat, you also need a bag.....</p> <p>Perhaps on the Boxing Day sales you could add a little extra? :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-choose-a-bag#post-1088626 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 03:44:26 +0000 Anonymous 1088626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, 9 is the one I vote for as well!
