I hope so too.</p> <p>Thanks Shannon.</p> <p>Thanks Lynne! You're right, I can wait a bit and wear it in spring/summer. I wouldn't have a problem with that. I can't wait to see it for real, hopefully it's just as lovely as in the pictures!</p> <p>Thanks Deborah. It really is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-759452 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:13:47 +0000 Deborah 759452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-759450 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 10:20:39 +0000 Lynne 759450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, Astrid, and you can put it aside for Spring. The embossed leather looks divine and the leather trim will complement your lovely hair......I vote yay :). There are many more dark bags to choose from in the stores at this time of year, aren't there?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-759159 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 21:19:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 759159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Aida said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-759152 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 21:08:59 +0000 Scarlet 759152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

You're right, all my favourite bags were impulse buys and the one I bought when I thought I needed something like it is languishing in my closet. Same with shoes! I agree that it should work well with navy and burgundy, when it ends up looking like it does on my screen. </p> <p>Thanks for enabling, Glory! I'm going to order it now. Then I can see if it is just as lovely IRL and try it out with some outfits. And I can always return if it doesn't work.</p> <p>ETA<br /> Free shipping and returns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-759066 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 17:38:28 +0000 Glory 759066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the risk of being an enabler - I totally LOVE this bag. And, Angie has said white is huge for spring. It is so interesting and unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758967 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:10:08 +0000 Scarlet 758967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I always listen to bag love. It doesn't strike often and it never leads me astray. I know you want a dark bag for winter, but this one is on sale and the day you go looking for something like this, you will not find it. The color reads pretty silvery to me, and I can easily imagine it with, e.g. navy or burgundy, any deep color like that, also in cold weather.</p> <p>ETA: also BJ made a great point about white only getting bigger in accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758966 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:08:58 +0000 Astrid 758966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aida! I guess you're right, this wouldn't be an everyday bag for winter. But I don't really need one anyway. I don't need a new bag at all if I'm honest - I just love the way this looks! It would be alright for me to wear this mostly in the warm seasons. This is a bag from the spring/summer collection anyway, that's why it's marked down.</p> <p>Thanks Thistle! We have enough snow and muck, that's true. But when it's the worst weather I'm taking my backpack anyway to keep my books and everything dry, so that's not really a drawback. </p> <p>Thanks Lyn! That's what I fear. I guess I'm just a practical person at heart and the idea of buying something I fear would be impractical makes me hesitate.</p> <p>Thanks Jenava. No, it doesn't have feet, from what I've seen. But why would it get stained without them? I never set my bags down on the floor.</p> <p>Asingh, wise words... ;)</p> <p>Thanks Lyn.</p> <p>Thanks bj1111! I love greys, I could see that working well. I'm still thinking about it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758901 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 13:55:45 +0000 bj1111 758901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fyi, astrid, white is BIG this f/w and HUGE into the spring. so hope on the bandwagon, you will not be sorry.</p> <p>wear with winter darks. as k said, will perk up the outfits. white is super with grays, esp the silvery ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758886 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 13:27:36 +0000 lyn67 758886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if it's leather...:-)<br /> (sorry, if that doesn't help, but I like it too:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758880 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 13:18:08 +0000 Asingh 758880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One can never have too many bags! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758798 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 05:02:12 +0000 Jenava 758798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so pretty! But, does it have feet? If not, I would pass. It's get stained on the bottom... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758759 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 02:37:43 +0000 lyn* 758759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, I had a light coloured tote that I loved and it was wonderful the first 3 times I used it and then it stained like no tomorrow! It was so annoying because it was never the same again! The leather trim stains and gets water stains when I try to wash the whole bag! I say pass on this one!</p> <p>(Did that help?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758750 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 02:19:53 +0000 Thistle 758750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White is a tough color I summer and really, really tough in winter.</p> <p>Not sure how much snow you get by you, but by me, the slush and muck of winter, not to mention the thin layer of salt on everything destroys white. All it takes is brushing up against the car in the morning with your white bag and now it is grey.</p> <p>Trying to help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758729 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 01:30:46 +0000 Aida 758729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welllll if it's leather... 0:)</p> <p>Astrid you're not super high contrast with your looks usually, so I do think that perhaps a white bag might be too contrasty for your winter stuff. Now, a light gray or a dark cream would work. You know, if you wanted a light bag for winter ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758664 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 00:12:25 +0000 Astrid 758664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you're definitely enabling. Although I'm not sure the white would work as well with my winter stuff, maybe the contrast is just too big and difficult to work with. </p> <p>Caro, that's alright. I wouldn't say I'm messy, but I've never had a white bag before, so I couldn't be sure if it would work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758657 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 00:01:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 758657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is gorgeous (sorry). How messy are you? I couldn't do it I'd ruin it, but some people could. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758651 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:55:48 +0000 K. Period. 758651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weeeeeell, then! If it is an embossed leather bag, then you should buy it. See. I told you that I'm the last one to talk you out of it. I've been really surprised by how my white bag freshens up my winter look. (And thanks!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758646 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:52:31 +0000 Astrid 758646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you both! Although this is not a *fabric* bag (sorry, I overlooked that with Sylvie's comment), it's real leather. Forgot to mention it.</p> <p>ETA<br /> I love your new white tote btw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758626 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:28:27 +0000 K. Period. 758626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm the last person to try to talk someone out of a white bag! I am loving my new white tote. However, I will try to talk you out of a white *fabric* bag. It will stain. And it will be ruined when it is stained. If it is too expensive to be a splurge, throw away purchase, then you shouldn't buy it. Heartbreak lies ahead if you do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758624 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:22:27 +0000 Jem 758624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn, being practical is no fun! It's true that white fabric probably isn't the greatest. It's hard finding a bag that you love, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758594 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:36:13 +0000 Astrid 758594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sylvie, you're right. And yes, it helped a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758590 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:34:54 +0000 Sylvie 758590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White fabric is really impractical. If it stains, you'll never get the dirt out. If you really want a white fabric bag, you could DIY it. Hold strong.</p> <p>(Did that help)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-dont-need-this-bag#post-758579 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:21:53 +0000 Astrid 758579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just found this bag and I love it. But, we have fall now. This is a spring and summer bag. I have light colored bags already and what I'm really lacking is a darker colored leather bag. And it's still not cheap even though it's half the price. Argh, I hate being reasonable. </p>
