In some respects I find it a little dated. In other respects I don't. It would not be my first choice for you, Greyscale. Something about it neither reads Modern nor Retro. I voted nay - by just a hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156434 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 15:32:01 +0000 Beth Ann 1156434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its clean lines are more casual classic.&nbsp; It would work for a lot of people in a lot of situations.&nbsp; And the clutch?&nbsp; Oh yes, the structure and modern look is stunning.&nbsp; I love their looks, but, when I go to campus for work, I'm schlepping my computer, files a half-dozen books, kindle, lunch, and sometimes a pair of shoes. A clutch would be an impracticality, although I love my one dressy version, with optional strap, that I wear to concerts, church, dinners out, etc.</p> <p>I wonder if you might do well with a small bag "capsule" of 3-4 bags.&nbsp; With your amazing and defined personal style, I think you could carry these bags for years.&nbsp; I don't change mine every day, but I have one I like for urban trips, another for car travel, one clutch, etc.&nbsp; I use a kangaroo keeper so I can switch out in less than a minute and not worry about forgetting something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156429 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 15:21:50 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1156429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A definite classic bohemian vibe and a silhouette I purchased fo wear to outside music festivals since i have a boho side and like the crossbody. &nbsp;It feels right to me, but you need to guage how you feel with it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156347 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 13:25:41 +0000 VernieJane 1156347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that this bag is a hippie bag. To me, a hippie would not carry a bag this classy. The cut is a bit bohemian, but in a sophisticated way--it is obviously quality leather, and a very nice looking bag. Not something that would go well with a true hippie outfit--that would be more patchwork, vintage, etc... IMO... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156344 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 13:18:34 +0000 Astrid 1156344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you're still not sure it's a sign that it should go back. Just because it's a great find doesn't mean it's right for <b>you</b>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156296 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 08:14:29 +0000 Greyscale 1156296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. I'm still debating, which probably means it should go back, if I'm not in love with it. It's such a useful size, though, and a great find... I have a week to decide, at least. I feel bad buying and returning so much from Crossroads but they don't seem to mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156204 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 03:55:25 +0000 rae 1156204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks minimal and clean and can definitely go with your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156149 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 02:12:29 +0000 Jaime 1156149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the lunch box clutch for you (and for me if I carried clutches). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156098 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 01:10:51 +0000 pil 1156098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the bag and it seems like it would serve its function, but I think of avant garde being more angular than this. Then again, I'm not very knowledgeable either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156092 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 00:58:56 +0000 Laurie 1156092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was expecting to see fringe and/or patchwork!&nbsp; Not hippie at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1156081 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 00:43:19 +0000 Gigi 1156081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think that the Coach bag looks like you--it looks too soft and unstructured. To me, the clutch is calling your name--shiny and smart and structured, with some hard lines for dynamic movement. In the book on fashion that I just read, the authors said that curved lines create a softer look, while angled lines create more dynamism. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155863 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 18:26:13 +0000 catgirl 1155863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a really similar Coach bag that was gifted to me - vintage 80s or 90s, rounded, and plain.&nbsp; I don't think it reads at anything at all - it seems to mesh quietly into an outfit.&nbsp; Yes, it's Coach and yes, it's obviously Coach, but it's not in your face logo print.&nbsp; </p> <p>Also, I've recently realized that a contrasting bag style can add interest and dimension to an outfit.&nbsp; Don't know if you want that kind of "outfit tension" but I find it kind of fun sometimes.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155752 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 16:05:15 +0000 Anonymous 1155752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having been through the Hippie era, this seems a Coach take on a hobo bag and might be considered Hippy. But it is narrow and looks like a heavy leather, which gives it some structure, although it won't stand by itself. It may depend on how you style it. For me the deep bag with a relatively narrow opening would be a deal breaker in making it more difficult to find things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155735 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:23:23 +0000 kkards 1155735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm, i don't think i have ever thought of anything by coach as hippie…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155703 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:28:48 +0000 Suz 1155703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you have more than one?</p> <p>This one works with your slightly RATE and utilitarian side.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Urban Minimalist, in Angie's terms.&nbsp;</p> <p>The other one is more trendy and more polished.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155698 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:10:57 +0000 Susie 1155698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I used to have a bag just like that one. I guess I'm old enough to be considered vintage! I wouldn't call it hippie, but I do think I see you with something a bit more edgy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155697 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:10:55 +0000 Anonymous 1155697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a nice bag, and doesn't look hippie at all to me, but agree with Deborah that I'm not sure it really looks like you.

And not hippy at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155648 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 10:33:43 +0000 Deborah 1155648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok going swimming against the tide here:). Nice bag but it doesn't say Greyscale to me. It's the roundness of the bag. I see you carrying a more odd a square or rectangular bag which reads a little more structured and has edge(es). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155623 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 07:27:00 +0000 Hil 1155623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I don't see hippie at all. I think it's perfect for you. Trust your instincts! I'd use it happily! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155619 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 06:43:33 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 1155619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never think of black leather as "hippie". </p> <p>If it had fringe I'd be thinking late 80's biker-wannabe. But it's neither of those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155618 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 06:39:09 +0000 JAileen 1155618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though it's called a Hippie Flap bag, I think it actually has a classic/ bohemian vibe. From what I've seen of your style, I think it would go very well. I don't care for the lunch bag at all.</p> <p>I have a large collection of vintage Coach, but I don't have one of those. If I ran across one I'd snap it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155617 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 06:37:04 +0000 Greyscale 1155617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, that's exactly what the salesguy at Crossroads said! He's got good taste, so I was reassured. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155610 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 06:21:25 +0000 AJ 1155610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! It's a nice size and shape. Now if it had fringe hanging down, then I would say it was too hippie. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-bag-too-hippie-for-me#post-1155606 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 06:15:54 +0000 Greyscale 1155606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At Crossroads, I spied a vintage Coach flap bag, much smaller than the one I have. I've been looking for a second, smaller bag for going out when I don't want the bulk of&nbsp;my Coach Willis bag. This one isn't at all dressy, but my life is pretty casual. And so far I've only had my one bag that I use for everything.</p> <p>I can't decide if this reads as my style, sort of&nbsp;minimal and Euro-avant-garde -- or just hippie. It doesn't help that every time I find it on google it's described as hippie!</p> <p>Here's the same bag from an Etsy seller (the main item on that page, scroll down)<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/140410744">https://www.etsy.com/transaction/140410744</a>&nbsp;and I copied one photo here.</p> <p>What do you think? Should I return it and&nbsp;hold out for something more chic? I also love this dark navy&nbsp;lunch bag clutch, for instance:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/514536326149143867/">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/514536326149143867/</a></p>
