I actually think the black/white has too much going on because you have so many striking, architectural clothing items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1196087 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 01:55:07 +0000 Adelfa 1196087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black seems like the practical choice but my gut STRONGLY favors B&amp;W. I haven't had trouble with dinginess. Then my white or cream bags haven't been clutches, either. The point about dye transfer is a good one so if you're planning on carrying it trapped between your ribs and your upper arm, you might run into trouble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1196082 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 01:37:11 +0000 Debra 1196082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and white or black texture </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1196036 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 00:45:00 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1196036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, my favorite is the black and white...

When in Hong Kong I wore a black dress I got from LOFT; we got caught in a downpour, and it bled all over my white bag, turned it blue. My quick-thinking, resourceful DH doused it with hairspray which lifted much of the blue, but not all. When we got back, I took it to the cobbler and he was able to rescue it enough for another season's use, but it still never quite was the same, especially the handles.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195635 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 16:15:49 +0000 JAileen 1195635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you seem to wear only black, I think the black and white would look best. It would have the most visual interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195539 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 14:31:46 +0000 Jjsloane 1195539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote the black and white. Most versatile, makes a nice graphic statement which is totally in tune with your style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195489 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 12:54:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1195489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the asymmetrical shape and gold zipper in these. I can't decide between the textured black one and the b/w one.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195485 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 12:44:19 +0000 rabbit 1195485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the textured black, but if you already have a textured black, the black and white would give a pop to many looks although you might have to baby it and use it more selectively. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195479 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 12:37:06 +0000 adorkable 1195479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My own vote's for one of the two plain black ones, for leopardluxe's eminently practical reasons: white leather is so fresh and so beautiful, but only for about a minute.</p> <p>Then again, it is likely that most people are less clumsy than I am. But for me, having a bag that I can put down carelessly is one of the factors that goes into my decision. (I bought the work purse that I did mostly because of the feet. They mean that I have to put it down on the bathroom floor, I'm not completely horrified.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195477 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 12:31:09 +0000 Sarah A 1195477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black textured one best.

No dirt cleaning issues, really versatile and &nbsp;the texture just gives it a bit of extra "edginess." Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195430 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 11:14:33 +0000 Janet 1195430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! I had a black and cobalt one like this in the 80s and could slap myself for letting it go. I'm a fan of the two-toned version so you can get two looks out of one bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195428 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 11:07:58 +0000 Deborah 1195428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane you are naughty. They are from an Etsy seller, I wonder if she would do a discount for two lol. I was thinking the same thing. I like both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195427 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 11:06:04 +0000 Anonymous 1195427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the black and white one and the textured black one.

I have added a third bag which is black and textured. I am thinking of using it a lot. For work and play </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195420 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 10:46:43 +0000 leopardluxe 1195420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the simplicity of these bags. I personally would probably opt for just the plain black but I guess I'd ask you the following questions:</p> <p>1. how often do you anticipate carrying the bag?&nbsp;<br />2. how versatile do you need it to be?</p> <p>The reason I ask is I find white leather gets dingy and dirty very easily -and it's not always easy to get it cleaned even with professional cleaning (so the cost per wear factor goes up because of the cost of having it cleaned). So if you're going to carry it a lot you might be better off with black, which will hide day to day dirt --especially on a clutch that you're likely to be laying down on what might turn out to be less than clean surfaces. Also, does the two-tone combo limit what you'll feel comfortable wearing it with? Do you want it to be a workhorse or just an occasional carry?</p> <p>In the end both are fab. I just think the black will end up wearing better and allow you more styling options but the black and white would really add modern polish to your already amazing structured style.</p> <p>Sorry that probably wasn't any help. It was just the process my brain went through to make the decision if it were me :-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195419 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 10:38:00 +0000 Ornella 1195419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous.</p> <p>Get B&amp;W.</p> <p>But you knew I might&nbsp;say that, am I right </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-these-clutch-handbags#post-1195417 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 10:35:09 +0000 Deborah 1195417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>It may appear I have been on a bit of shopping spree:) but I have been selling off some clothes I no longer wear to make room (and raise funds) for purchasing some things I really want... yay for Ebay.</p> <p>One of things I have been wanting for some time is a fold over clutch. Something a little slouchy but with a touch of structure. I think I may have found it.</p> <p>It's available in black, and also black and white. The advantage of the black and white is depending on which side you fold it over, you get two different looks.</p> <p>Could I ask your thoughts on which might be best?</p> <p>Measurements are 12 inches by 7inches when folded or 13 inches when open. It is asymetric when folded.</p> <p>#1 is the black</p> <p>#2 is the black and white with the fold to the white</p> <p>#3 same bag as #2 but folded to the black.</p> <p>#4 Textured black</p> <p>Thanks for looking and I appreciate your opinions.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
