Which color Melie Bianco Chain Faux Leather Tote?

quail

Hey, ladies. I have been on the hunt for a good vegan/non-leather bag and may have finally found something I really like. I actually just bought a Matt by Matt & Nat bag but was very disappointed with the texture when it arrived (see here: http://www.mattandnat.com/prod.....lack-1165/).

It looks like Nordstrom may be coming through for me though. I just came across this bag and I think I'm going to go for it. The question is, which color should I purchase? None of them are calling out to me. The link is here: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3100764.

There is also a black one for slightly more here: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/3131841, but I don't know if I want to do the black/chain combination. I like to make more of a statement with colors and pieces other people might not carry, and I'm not afraid of bright colors. Any of these you particularly love? Thanks in advance!

i would go with the pink/fuschia, love the chain detail in the handle, i think the chains in the front will date, but if you can remove them later...

also, make sure the handle is comfortable with the chain when you load it up with your stuff.

BJ, agreed about the chains dating. Normally I wouldn't go for something like this but it looks like good quality in polyurethane. It's also a little larger than I'd like. I figured I'd go to the store and actually check it out. I'm very into red bags/shoes so part of me was immediately leaning that way.

I would go for the blue.
Just make sure the chains are silent, It would be annoying if the chains are noisy when walking with your new bag!

I don't think you can go wrong with either the blue, yellow or fushia - any of those colors would off-set your outfit with a nice pop of color. It all just depends on which one you like the best! If you want to get in on the "earthtone" trend, but can't wear those colors - then go for the yellow. You could combine the yellow with a pair of brown/tan belt and/or shoes - that's a nice/safe way to "wear" earthtones without going ALL THE WAY!

I vote yellow. Is that an option? I actually really like the teal but I wear that color a lot, so yellow would be a good complimentary color if you are like me.

All of the colors are an option for me! Thanks to everyone for chiming in. The Mint color is actually coming across as rather dull on my screen, but I don't know if the color is just off on my monitor. I've always been a fan of teal, and I love yellow too...and I love red, and for some reason I'm really attracted to white bags this season. Haha, I can't win!

I vote for yellow, it's a nice color to add to a fall wardrobe.

I would vote for the white or the pink. Based on how they look on my monitor, which may not be accurate, the "mint" and the yellow seem a little too muted.

I vote blue/mint, but if you wear a lot of blue you might want something different to spice things up.

Thanks to everyone for chiming in! I'm not going to make this purchase for a bit, so feel free to add if you have an opinion to share. I'll let you know what I decide!
