In my case, small sling bags are the ideal size so mine is not this big. But it’s the same shiny silver...and I still love it! If you are yearning for a silver bag, you get a silver bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1877763 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 19:25:09 +0000 Christina F. 1877763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe it's the medium size, too, <b>Sterling</b>.

I don't have a metallic day bag but find my gold silver and pewter footwear is well used. Pewter is the easiest for me but I do like silver and gold a lot too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1877759 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 19:14:48 +0000 Anonymous 1877759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is beautiful <b>Christina</b>!!&nbsp; Based on the picture, it is the "medium" backpack (which is what I want).&nbsp; I'm going to order it this evening.&nbsp; Thank you SO MUCH.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1877751 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 18:53:59 +0000 Emily K 1877751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute bag, <b>Christina</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1877710 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 17:39:16 +0000 Angie 1877710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friend bought the same bag, <b>Christina</b>. KILLER.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1877653 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 14:02:36 +0000 Christina F. 1877653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag came and it’s great! It is a little on the larger side, but that’s OK for days when I need to carry a lot. For reference, I am 5‘4“. I like having a nylon bag that I don’t mind wearing so much in the rain. I do protect my leather bags, but I walk a lot to and from work and can be a little bit worried about them. Also, the silver is very shiny, and you need to embrace that. On the other hand, since it’s not leather, it’s quite light weight.</p> <p>It came with a dust bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1876527 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 15:06:22 +0000 Anonymous 1876527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will!&nbsp; Thank you, <b>Christina</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1876526 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 14:59:36 +0000 Christina F. 1876526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sterling</b> check back with me on Wednesday evening :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1876504 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 12:39:18 +0000 Anonymous 1876504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Christina </b>-- I am so glad you ordered the Rebecca Minkoff backpack.&nbsp; I have literally been eyeing it for more than a month now.</p> <p>Has the bag arrived yet?&nbsp; I was hoping I might reach out to you when you receive it.&nbsp; My primary question has to do with size.&nbsp; That backpack comes in "mini" (too small); "medium" (just right); and "large" (too backpackish for me).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1875812 Sat, 06 Jan 2018 03:22:59 +0000 unfrumped 1875812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Tanya and Joy said- I’d look for a “ dull” metallic, pewter, antiqued or distressed unless your style is very crisp and ladylike. Also would be sure to get the right bag style to keep it comfortable for you. For example, I’m not good with satchels and large structured bags so getting one of those in a “ new” color would be too much for me. But I’m not very fashion- foreward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1875719 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 23:47:27 +0000 jill58 1875719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's another one I like. </p> <p>ETA: Just realized this is the same bag you originally posted!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags/page/2#post-1875681 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 22:45:42 +0000 jill58 1875681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Anthropologie bag and here's another one--again not silver, but metallic. Actually, now that I look at it I think the strap is silver.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875613 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 21:33:48 +0000 Christina F. 1875613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sterling</b>, I've ordered the Minkoff backpack you posted in the finds. I'd wanted a nylon Julin bag for a while, and couldn't resist the silver.</p> <p>I love metallic bags! I was carrying a couple of colored ones for the holidays. This will be my first silver one that's not an evening clutch, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875605 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 21:26:20 +0000 SarahD8 1875605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I want us both to get it <b>lisa p</b> because I bet we would style it very differently and that would be super interesting!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875595 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 20:54:06 +0000 Anonymous 1875595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, now I want Sarah's Anthro purse. &nbsp;Gah! &nbsp;I love a metallic bag, but want them burnished or worn looking and not shiny. &nbsp;My last antique gold one (a Balenciaga knock-off that still gets knocked off so many years later, lol) lasted me for years and years, until it could no longer be repaired. I don't think I've ever used a bag that much. Sigh. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875591 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 20:39:30 +0000 DonnaF 1875591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, I would say that the photo pretty accurately shows the *color* of the RM bag. It is a tiny bit shinier and not quite as dark as gunmetal but pretty close. I think of the color as more F/W than S/S. The strap reminds me of a seat belt only slightly narrower and it adjusts. Front to back the bag is maybe .5" thick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875574 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 19:50:27 +0000 Violettt 1875574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>I'm not quite sure if metallic bags are timeless or not, but if you love it, why not? &nbsp;I just bought a super pewter colored metallic belt, so fab!<br />I, personally, would not buy a metallic bag, but I do have a super cute rose gold one I just bought from Guess, so I take that back, lol. &nbsp;I do think metallic is super in fashion! And if anyone follows the Chanel shows on line, they show tons on metallic.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875568 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 19:43:02 +0000 Anonymous 1875568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!&nbsp; It is beautiful, <b>Sarah</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875525 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 17:48:23 +0000 SarahD8 1875525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am currently fantasizing about this bag:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/neuville-rosa-clutch?category=bags-crossbody&amp;color=041">https://www.anthropologie.com/.....;color=041</a></p> <p>Very surprising, as in many ways it is not what I would consider my usual style (color blocking????). Yet it has captured my imagination. Just to underline the unexpected yet strong pull of metallics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875364 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 10:51:15 +0000 Mainelady 1875364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMO metallic bags are timeless. I found a pewter Cole Haan 7 years ago that served as a great neutral for me. It was leather and croc embossed. Sadly, it began to show wear near the bottom seams and had to be retired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875363 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 10:43:22 +0000 Janet 1875363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Elizabeth said, I got that silver tote years ago and it’s great, but somehow I tend to use it more in summer — it’s quite a bright shiny silver, and I go a bit more dark and muted in winter. </p> <p>I think you’ll really enjoy one. I’m drawn to gunmetal and rose gold bags as well, but I already have too many bags! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875362 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 10:40:53 +0000 Anonymous 1875362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Donna </b>-- I have been eyeing that exact same bag for some time. &nbsp;Is the Rebecca Minkoff bag more muted in color? &nbsp; I haven't seen it in person. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875329 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 08:55:33 +0000 Style Fan 1875329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, I prefer matte finishes and I am not a fan of the shiny for myself but I do have metallic footwear.&nbsp; I would certainly buy a metallic bag in my metallic (copper, bronze, old gold) if the right one came along.&nbsp; I find they go with everything.<br />I love the one that Tanya posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875288 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 05:42:58 +0000 DonnaF 1875288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pleather pewter cross-body bag that I used to death a number of years ago before I went gray, and it seemed to go with everything. The Minkoff bag below arrived a few days ago, and it's a really good size for me. It doesn't feel like nylon other than being really light; I'm still deciding. And the other silvery bag is 65% off so $15 so is hard to turn down but I have to test its actual capacity since it just arrived today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875113 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 00:26:34 +0000 Windchime 1875113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely go for a silver bag! I carried a silver tote bag for a couple years and enjoyed it. It wasn't as shiny as your Find; there are many variations on silver. I'd buy silver shoes if I found the right pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875103 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 00:06:29 +0000 Susie 1875103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a big yes! I had a pewter bag several years ago that I loved and used it until it was worn out. If you like it, I wouldn’t worry about dating. It could add a great punch to simple outfits- a bit of shine is always good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1875099 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 23:52:50 +0000 The Cat 1875099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a (muted) silver tote. It goes with everything. Casual elegance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1874964 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 19:16:00 +0000 Zibbets 1874964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few years ago I had a silver Fossil bag that I adored, and I currently have a big silver Michael Kors tote that I carry to work. I think silver is timeless and neutral. Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-bags#post-1874924 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 17:55:00 +0000 Suz 1874924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm totally in the market for the right silver bag. Not desperately searching but it's going to be my next purchase unless I find the navy bag of my dreams before that.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sveta</b> got a big silver tote from Danier some years back and I am sure it was one of her favourite bags. I would have bought one then but my hair was still golden. Now with silver hair, a silver bag is a no-brainer.&nbsp; </p>
