Period. 1652820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an olive satchel that I bought a few years back and I love it. &nbsp;I tend to wear olive with my casual clothes and the satchel is a slouchy, soft leather so it works really well with them. &nbsp;The funny thing is that my love affair with olive was ignited by a pair of olive flats. &nbsp;I bought them on impulse and wore them into the ground because they worked with everything. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1652704 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 19:14:11 +0000 cjh 1652704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Y.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1652700 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 19:08:59 +0000 LaPed 1652700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My everyday courier bag is olive. I love it! It's a great year-round neutral, and a little more visually interesting than black/grey/brown for bags.&nbsp;</p> <p>Diane -- that olive/mint bag is TDF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1652699 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 19:02:25 +0000 JAileen 1652699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think faux leather won't wear as well as leather, and then ends up in the landfill without ever degrading or decomposing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1652475 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 11:58:35 +0000 Chris987 1652475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann, no I don't plan to buy any of these specific bags, at least not right now, they were just for inspiration. </p> <p>Jill58 agree on the bucket bag comment...I had a nice one quite a few years ago and dealing with the drawstring was way too fiddly for my taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1652144 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 20:56:42 +0000 jill58 1652144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, these are great picks.Like Texstyle, I like the Phillip Lim and the Vince Camuto bags a lot. I woudn't choose the Topshop bucket bag due to the drawstring closure which seems too fiddly to contend with in real life. The Longchamp bag is a great color although I'm not quite as much of a fan of that style. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1652048 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 18:39:27 +0000 Anonymous 1652048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love olive pants and their versatility with my wardrobe but haven't found a good pair to substitute for an older pair. An olive bag is the perfect alternative!! I really like the Vince Camuto and Longchamp styles. Are you going to get one of the bags you posted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1652032 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 18:15:55 +0000 Chris987 1652032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle ..yes&nbsp;that Phillip Lim is a beauty. Way outside my budget but<br />it is gorgeous in every way. </p> <p>Diane - funny how different we all are about color choices. That bag you posted would never&nbsp; appeal to me but I like most of the other color combos you list. Adding lots of cream in summer sounds very pretty.<br />&nbsp;<br />Jaileen have you had issues with faux leather? The quality looks a lot better than it used to be but I've never quite taken the plunge. Seems like it could be a good option for&nbsp; a color or style you don't want to wear very often.</p> <p>milehilestyle - good point about olive trending toward green being&nbsp;a bit less "neutral"</p> <p>rambling ann and Lsiap I also&nbsp; find olive and black is one of my favorite combinations </p> <p></p> <p>Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate it! </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1651983 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:58:21 +0000 rachylou 1651983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is actually the one place where I'm really good with olive. I love an olive handbag. Otherwise, I wonder why I'm wearing gear... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1651978 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:47:37 +0000 Anonymous 1651978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an olive leather bag &nbsp;from Coach with some black hardware (including zipper) which has turned out to be oddly versatile. It was a real impulse buy - I was enamoured by the black studs on the matching wallet and because I love olive so much.....well, there went that money. &nbsp;I don't use it everyday &nbsp;(the wallet I do though) , but do find it a refreshing change to wear now and then and it goes with just about everything I wear (denim, black, blue, army green, etc etc) .&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1651948 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 15:58:05 +0000 Rambling Ann 1651948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive is one of my core neutrals, along with black. I haven't found much that doesn't go with it. I don't change purses often, but I do have an olive clutch I use sometimes. The only thing I try to steer away from is overly military details, since olive+black can devolve to a commando vibe with my more tomboy style. The ones you picked are pretty veering to ladylike, any would be a nice addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1651905 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 14:33:30 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1651905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fringed olive bag is a neutral to me.&nbsp; I wear it with everything, all year round&nbsp;- other neutrals, brights, pastels.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd say it's more on the dark side&nbsp;of the spectrum.&nbsp; I have another bag with more green in it but I don't use it as&nbsp;often because it's too green to be really neutral and I find it looks to clash-y with some of the colors I wear. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1651881 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 14:09:38 +0000 JAileen 1651881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive is one of my favorite colors. Last year, or the year before, NAS had a giant olive Coach duffle. I waffled over buying it and then boom it was gone! I kind of regret not getting it. I think the specific color is important, and of course the normal functionality issues with any bag. It's hard to tell color from a picture so hopefully you can see them in person. I personally would avoid faux leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1651880 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 14:06:08 +0000 Anonymous 1651880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I meant to say that I use and wear olive all year round. I just add loads of cream to the mix in Summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1651879 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 14:04:50 +0000 Anonymous 1651879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love olive! My favourite shade of olive is not too dark and with no browniness to it....it has to be a proper green olive for me to like it. I wear olive with cream, coral, mint, pale grey, denim.<br /> I have the casual tote below.<br /> I really like the Phillip Lim one above that you posted </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1651877 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 14:02:28 +0000 texstyle 1651877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Phillip Lim is a wonderful shade of olive to me - as is the Vince Camuto. I looked for many months to find one in a similar color but with the purse style and features I require and just couldn't find one that met my needs. If I do, I would definitely purchase an olive bag as I find it an extremely versatile neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-handbags-yn#post-1651833 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:52:04 +0000 Chris987 1651833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With all the talk about olive recently, I'm thinking of adding it to my purse collection, which is pretty small. </p> <p>Do any of you have bags in this color? What colors do you wear them with? Do you think of it as a seasonal color? &nbsp;Do you like light or darker olives?&nbsp;</p> <p>A few quick finds below.&nbsp;Most of the ones I found were more casual than not.</p> <p></p> <p>Would love to hear&nbsp;your thoughts!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
