Some of us don't care, and others do. &nbsp;Mixing it up is a good way to get past that - i.e. wearing both gold and silver and accommodating both in your bag and belt (if you wear one). Personally, if I'm mixing it up, it's absolutely intentional and I pay attention to which piece has which metal. Most of the time, I take care to wear silver with silver and gold with gold. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purse-hardware---match#post-1657100 Mon, 09 May 2016 00:53:26 +0000 retailgirl 1657100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want my watch, bracelets, necklace and earrings to match. My wedding rings are gold and I never even think about the hardware on a bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purse-hardware---match#post-1657083 Sun, 08 May 2016 23:47:26 +0000 jill58 1657083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Brooklyn. Zippers don't bother me but with any prominent hardware -- I want it to go with my jewelry.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purse-hardware---match#post-1657063 Sun, 08 May 2016 22:52:09 +0000 Brooklyn 1657063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really wear metallic shoes but I do think about this issue with jewellery. I would probably match (or not mix) if the hardware on the bag is quite prominent. For example a large gold buckle. For this bag I have in finds, I only wear gold toned jewellery because the gold on the bag is such a feature. But I wouldn't bother matching the hardware if the hardware on the bag was not that prominent eg a zip, small fastener or small shoulder strap rings. For shoes I think it is less of an issue because shoes are located a long way from your bag. But rings and bangles sit quite close to your bag (especially if it's a clutch). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purse-hardware---match#post-1657009 Sun, 08 May 2016 20:41:36 +0000 JAileen 1657009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like it to match but it usually doesn't. I have a lot of vintage Coach bags, and back in the day all they used was brass hardware. I have kind of switched to silver because of my silver hair, but I don't want to discard these bags just because of thr hardware. Lots of people mix jewelry metals anyway. My watch is stainless and gold. My wedding ring is gold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purse-hardware---match#post-1657007 Sun, 08 May 2016 20:38:03 +0000 jill58 1657007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This issue drives me crazy. I posted something similar about jewelry corresponding to purse hardware. Some people seem to mix it up without a second thought but I can't seem to get over wanting all metals to be the same. Silver jewelry--then I have to have silver purse hardware and would prefer a silver shoe or silver shoe hardware. I keep thinking that I need something to bridge the different metals--like a two toned watch. I see other people mix metallics and it looks great but I personally seem to have a psychological barrier. I should mention that I have recently bought a purse with gold hardware and am having difficulty incorporating it since all my jewelry is silver. It makes make feel a lack of cohesion, although clearly not everyone feels this way.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purse-hardware---match#post-1656980 Sun, 08 May 2016 19:45:36 +0000 BrieN 1656980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am indulging my love of metallics this summer, but don't like it when I am wearing too many. So I am considering purchasing a purse in a color to use rather than my pewter one. My question is about the hardware on the purse. If you are wearing a silver shoe or belt would you want the hardware on your purse to match or would it be ok to have gold hardware with a silver shoe?</p> <p>Is this the kind of detail that is overthinking it or is it the kind of detail that makes a big difference in how pulled together you look?&nbsp; </p>
