This bag is definitely moving to the top of my list now! I'm also going to see if there's anything else in the collection that is similar so I don't have two of the same exact one.</p> <p>@medusa, I know I realized it was confusing after I posted it but then a bunch of people had already voted so I decided to leave it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302639 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:57:10 +0000 medusa 302639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yes given how much you love it.</p> <p>One thing that's confusing about your poll - in the title you ask if you should duplicate the bag, so that makes me think "yes" means "buy it". But then in your post you ask if it's lame to duplicate, which means a "yes" vote would mean "don't buy it". Anyway, I voted yes to mean buy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302584 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 08:17:55 +0000 CocoLion 302584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't because I like variety and I love the hunt. I would have too much fun shopping for a completely new bag in a new design, in the wished-for color. </p> <p>But I think you should go for it because you have found the perfect bag for you. Maybe if I were that in love with a bag I might do the same. I certainly do the same thing when it comes to jeans, t-shirts, bras, socks and panties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302578 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 06:41:50 +0000 Zoe B. 302578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't done it but voted yay. In the situation you describe it makes sense -- you have the bag and are convinced that it is fundamental to your wardrobe. I would probably not do it if it were a case of getting 2 different colors of the same bag at the same time (i.e., without having tested one first). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302447 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 02:41:14 +0000 MNsara 302447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang - must figure how to vote! </p> <p>Normally 'nay' as I'm pretty fickle with handbags - always ready for something new.</p> <p>But if they are in dramatically different colors, they will feel completely different.</p> <p>So then 'yeah'?</p> <p>Thank goodness, Greg didn't give us a 'maybe' choice . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302232 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:11:28 +0000 bella 302232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted nay because there are so many beautiful bags out there that I cannot believe you can't find a different one to spend your money on. (I have no problem with replicating shoes, though, since it's a matter of comfort). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302158 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:36:48 +0000 RoseandJoan 302158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted YAY as it is obviously a love affair and not merely a fling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302157 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:35:44 +0000 ticksgirl 302157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'm about to do this very thing. I'm so picky about bags that I rarely find any that meet my requirements. So I've decided to save myself some stress and double up on the bag that works. I don't care much about bags anyway, so it won't bother me. (I do have a few others for variety, though.) I say if you truly love it, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302151 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:21:19 +0000 Barbara 302151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I have the same Tignanello hobo in silver metallic and dark red. AND another smaller Tig shoulder bag in black and brown.</p> <p>I believe in duplicates if it's something I absolutely LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302116 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 18:43:17 +0000 Lynne 302116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgirl, I personally prefer variety, but I can see how this could work well for you - I have bought other items (shoes, cardis) in different colours when they were perfect...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302102 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 18:12:45 +0000 Scarlet 302102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like variety and would not do this, but that wouldn't be the right decision for everyone. Some people just know what they like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302093 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 18:02:49 +0000 Diana 302093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have so many requirements for bags that if I found one I really liked, I would buy it in multiple colors for sure! Probably one in black and one in a fun bright color. The problem is that I don't really know if a bag is going to be ideal until I've used it for a while, and then it's no longer available or something like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302091 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:58:12 +0000 Deb 302091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like a good man, a good bag is sooo hard to find ... I've got summer and winter versions of two of my very favorite bags and say Go for It!</p> <p>(Hmmm ... summer version of my good man ... something tall and tanned ... *and* with killer wardrobe I don't have to pick out ... {sigh} ...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302082 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:25:27 +0000 Queen Mum 302082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see anything wrong with buying 2 identical bags in different colors, but I wouldn't do it myself... I only have a few bags in my rotation and I like variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302076 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:04:25 +0000 AJ 302076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't found a style I like enough to buy two, but I don't see anything wrong with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302069 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:01:12 +0000 Sarah 302069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very picky when it comes to bags. It's very hard for me to commit. Once I buy one, I carry it nearly exclusively for the entire season though, so they have to be just right.<br /> I do prefer different bags because I have so few. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302066 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:00:06 +0000 Angie 302066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you believe that I voted Nay - and then realized that I have the same MK bag in two colours. Clearly I need more tea :(</p> <p>In my defense, the one is a solid colour and the other colour blocked so they feel extra different even though they are the same bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302058 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:52:30 +0000 Debbie 302058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I wold because I love having different style bags. That said I see nothing wrong with it though. If you love it and want to duplicate it go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302056 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:49:12 +0000 Mo 302056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, but I do buy very similar styles in bags. I don't think I have ever duplicated a shoe, either, come to think of it. Just layering tops and pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302038 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:40:21 +0000 Carole 302038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! Love the cognac color, I've been searching for one myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302035 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:36:32 +0000 Steph 302035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have done this with a Stella McCartney bag I love. I bought it in red, and realized that I adored it so much that I wanted another, so I bought it in cream. Honestly, if it were still available in red, I would have gotten another in that color as well. I love it, and worry that one day it will wear out and I will be devastated. Having two extends the life for each of them. </p> <p>I also did this a long time ago with a long Lamberson Truex wristlet. A department store was offering them as part of a promotion for only $35. I ended up purchasing three, figuring I would give two away as gifts. However, I ended up keeping them all. They are light blue suede, so after awhile one got dirty, but no harm was done, since I had two more to replace it with! I'm on my second now, and am happy to know that there is a third waiting if the second ever gets ruined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302034 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:36:00 +0000 Louise 302034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally wouldn't have the same bag in different colours, but I like variety. I can totally see how duplicating would work for some people though x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302033 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:33:21 +0000 Ljubica 302033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I would, but I keep buying the bags from the same manufacturer which actually look very similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302032 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:31:53 +0000 biscuitsmom 302032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely would also! Like Isabel, I bought the same style Brahmin bag in different colors- I have a rich,deep cognac for fall/winter and a light,buttery yellowed tan for spring/summer. They are incredibly durable, extremely beautiful (IMO) and have been my my 'main' bags for 2 years and many more to come, I hope! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302030 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:29:52 +0000 rae 302030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, got (pretty much) the same bag in peach and lime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302026 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:22:51 +0000 HeleenH 302026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, if you love it, will use it and can afford it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-302000 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:11:36 +0000 Isabel 302000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES !!!! I have done it twice in my life. Last year I bought THREE Brahmin bags, all the same style, but different colors. I do the same with clothes and shoes if it something that it useful, beautiful and loved. I don't do it often, but I know when I love something and will use it for a long time to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-301994 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:03:18 +0000 modgrl 301994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be taking the MK Fob off so I don't look like a walking billboard. Obviously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-the-same-bag-in-a-different-color#post-301992 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:02:10 +0000 modgrl 301992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My black Michael Kors bag is my BFF for life. It is the most expensive bag I ever owned but it is timeless, a perfect fit for my frame, tough enough for my daily commute and matches 95% of my wardrobe. I want a cognac one for spring to lighten things up. Is it lame to buy the same bag in a different color? </p> <p><a href="http://www.michaelkors.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod9200002&#038;parentId=cat3003&#038;masterId=cat8501&#038;index=136&#038;cmCat=cat000000cat8501cat3003" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelkors.com/sto.....501cat3003</a> </p>
