Which of these bags would you buy??

They're on sale and I adore them (love a soft, slouchy leather bag), but - which?

I usually much prefer tan leather. However, the black is growing on me (and would stay looking nice longer). Argh!

Can someone decide for me?! Grin

Black without a doubt.

I'd go for the black but only because I'm a muck magnet and that lovely tan one would get marked within day.

The other thing is, the hardware is pale gold, not silver - I thought silver would look better with black leather. Or not? Confused

I only like silver hardware on bags and nearly all bags are gold....

Me too, youngest. I think pale gold looks ok with tan, though. Not sure about black.

Definitely the tan - really classy looking (I want to buy it as well actually) - the squishiness of the leather is lost on black.

I love the black!

hard to tell exactly from the picture but the tan looks cheap and the flap looks badly proportioned.
A vote for black if I had to but mainly on the basis that the tan will get trashed quicker.

Lady, Hmm. I think (hope) that the flap only looks like that because of the angle of the photo.

I wouldn't buy either and spend the money on a bench instead Wink

The black, definitely!

$299 I could buy a field of goats. And a bench.

In real life, I'd have the tan. Summers a-coming!!!!!!

The $299 is with another 25% off (I've already checked Wink). So it's actually < $225, or half the original price.

I mean, it's basically free. Grin

(TSS - I'm in Aus, so winter is a-coming!)

Black. The tan one looks cheap to me, which for nearly $300 is not what you want.

Those are my kind of math Koala.

Still tan though, looks great with black in winter.

koala my sole mate, yes that basically free!

Ideal world tan. Depends how hard you are on stuff.

it's a hard one but I do like the tan one.

Umm. Pretty hard, tbh. Blush

Then again, the tan will look good for both summer and winter, whereas black is a bit 'heavy' with summer clothes. ?

Aaargh!!!

Black. I usually prefer tan too but don't like that particular tan colour, plus the logo is very very obvious on the tan version which I dislike.

Tan, the black is boring imo!
