A great way to get onto the lilac trend.</p> <p>I have recently bought a navy bag and like it because it is great with denim and blues. However, on a whim I bought a lilac bag and it is the one bag in my collection that people stop me on the street to tell me how much they love it. Surprisingly, it goes with a lot of outfits. My vote is go with the bag that you like the most. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914827 Tue, 01 May 2018 12:29:17 +0000 Janet 1914827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! </p> <p>But I'm with Brooklyn (surprise! ;-)) -- I can do a deeper more saturated version, but lilac and lavender wash me out terribly.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Just saw the scarf! Love!

It is sold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914536 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 15:38:14 +0000 Cardiff girl 1914536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag is gorgeous,I think you should have one in what ever colour tickles your fancy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914524 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 15:07:49 +0000 bj1111 1914524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fun.&nbsp; i really like lilac with maroon/oxblood or lilac and a dusty plum as color combos.&nbsp; especially going into winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914511 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 14:41:33 +0000 Jenn 1914511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't love lilac, but that bag is lovely, especially the lining.

I saw it and was tempted. The lilac is not too washed out and it was a wool / cashmere mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914439 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 07:07:03 +0000 Aurore 1914439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing lining! And the other choices offered on the website are great as well.&nbsp;I love that bag and the fact that you can choose both the color of the bag itself and the pattern of its lining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914431 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 06:16:45 +0000 Jane 1914431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the bag.

I would love to buy a lilac knit but most colours are too pale even for me. I may have to see the CR ones in person. Like you, I get annoyed with too many emails from retailers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914423 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 04:51:17 +0000 Sal 1914423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is quite icy and cool isn't it - nice with whites and grey and silver - and it would wash me out too.&nbsp; I could see lilac on you with olive but I agree deeper would be better.&nbsp; Lilac is probably all over Zara already but I am not on their email list.</p> <p>Country Road are driving me crazy with the volume of emails at the moment - it is often more than once a day.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914421 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 04:42:02 +0000 Brooklyn 1914421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the Country Road edit and thought exactly the same thing!&nbsp;</p> <p>The bag is beautiful, especially with the lining.</p> <p>I am not sure if I am going to go lilac either. If I did, it would have to be a deeper (more purple version) than the Country Road stuff. The lavender versions really wash me out. But I would consider it as part of a print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914418 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 04:32:14 +0000 Sal 1914418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just added now - sorry was adding from the phone.&nbsp; Will add the website link too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914416 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 04:24:21 +0000 Barbara Diane 1914416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photo of the bag please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-appears-in-southern-hemisphere#post-1914415 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 04:22:18 +0000 Sal 1914415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mentioned last week I thought it would be spring before we saw lilac appear here.&nbsp; In the weekend I saw the first photo appear on my facebook feed, from a local NZ bag designer Helen Miller.</p> <p>Today I photographed the current Country Road (mainstream Australian retailer) drop - their lilac range.</p> <p>I don't think we are running a full season behind anymore, it is almost concurrent!!</p> <p>I am pleased that there is variety in colour offerings but I don't think I will go down the lilac route - it might work on me but there are other colours I am much more drawn to (pastels in general are hard for me although I do have small amounts of blush).</p> <p>But I do think the bag is gorgeous- I am toying with getting one like this in either blush or bone or navy or mustard or black - I cannot decide at all!!&nbsp;&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.helenmiller.co.nz/">https://www.helenmiller.co.nz/</a>&nbsp; She mostly makes on order but carries some in stock.</p>
