And colours as well ! I think I'll get both, a zebra and a teal (or red). I've already (and effortlessly) persuaded myself that both will complement my black winter coat, my black blazer and my grey tweed jacket, so money well spent, n'est-ce-pas? </p> <p> Would you favour something structured (like a satchel) or a slouchy style?</p> <p>Thrilling days of research in front of me 'cause isn't the chase as good the catch ? </p> <p>As soon as I get the bags, I'll ask my friend Jerry to take photos to show you the result of your terrific recommendations. Thanks a mil. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-with-my-new-jacket#post-762846 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:10:49 +0000 unfrumped 762846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree non -shiny--suede, textured animal print. If you like color contrast, teals and blues would look good. I see it as a kind of "cool" neutral-brown (on my monitor) so cool burgundies or the blues as above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-with-my-new-jacket#post-762841 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:04:23 +0000 shiny 762841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My knee-jerk idea is to pair it with a bag that has a non-shiny texture. Animal print/calf hair would be lovely - not just leopard (might be "expected") but I could see this with zebra print too. </p> <p>A pebbled leather (more matte) would work better than a patent. Red, cream. With gold or bronze hardware. Even black with gold hardware would work, for a more minimal look. </p> <p>Or you could go with one of those logo print bags - Louis Vuitton? - if that's your thing. </p> <p>In general I think you can treat this coat as you would any neutral. It's lovely and I am very impressed with your tailoring skills! Can't wait to see it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-with-my-new-jacket#post-762717 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:13:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 762717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous jacket! And wow, good for you for undertaking such an alteration. I can't sew a lick, other than hemming and putting on a button, so those of you who can sew just impress the heck out of me!</p> <p>I could see a dark red satchel looking gorgeous with this jacket and dark jeans. Or even something with a bit of animal print on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-with-my-new-jacket#post-762684 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:22:03 +0000 Bagaline 762684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just bought this jacket in Wallis. I had promised myself that I wouldn't buy anything this month, but when I saw that they had it in my size, how could I resist?<br /> The warm pewter does magic for my colouring </p> <p>The fit is fantastic, though I had to shorten the sleeves, which took me a whole afternoon because I wanted to keep the cuffs intact, so I had to cut at the armholes and sew back the sleeves. That's the sort of alteration that I always approach with a lot of apprehension and care, I have to say that I'm very proud of the result.</p> <p>I need your suggestion as what colour/style of handbag would be best considering that I will wear it mostly with black straight cut jeans and black booties. </p>
