Can this be a neutral? All-year, all occasion bag?

Not for me Confused

ReallyConvolutedCareerHistory · 20/12/2017 21:06

You could probably nail it with faded jeans, a cool tee and a leather jacket

Yeah this is me all the time. Replace leather jacket and jeans with shorts during summer.

It's more granny than edgy.

PaxUniversalis · 20/12/2017 21:10

No, sorry.

I don't know if it's just the pictures, but the colour looks like one of those over exposed photos where your brain has to try to work out the right colour.

I'm like the shape and strap, but not the huge logo.

THis girl looks cool with a quilted chain strap bag

It's cool. It's not at all granny!!
I love it. My style is quite edgy, jeans, funky tshirt or sweatshirt and a pair of trainers. I would use that bag a lot.

BusterGonad · 20/12/2017 21:26

Now you've said what your style is, I do think it's a YES from me. It looks better also in the other pictures! Go for it!

PaxUniversalis · 20/12/2017 21:30

@Paintbox

The red bag in your pic looks great. I like it a lot.

Paintbox · 20/12/2017 21:31

It does, doesn’t it pax

DarthMaiden · 20/12/2017 21:36

I love it.

That said I think you would have to style it properly.

It's does have the potential to look like something the Queen would have used if worn with the wrong outfit.

AnaViaSalamanca · 20/12/2017 21:48

I love the color. It's a great bag. OP just keep in mind that this bag is not very structured so would not be sitting on the table for example and might lose it's shape.

Cheekyandfreaky · 20/12/2017 22:54

It’s nice but I hate flashy label bags, make me feel like a walking ad.

EnidButton · 20/12/2017 23:54

it looks like an alien head Grin

I'm not keen. I think it's the colour. It's giving me 80's vibes. I don't like chain handles either.

EnidButton · 20/12/2017 23:59

Stared at it a bit more and I do like the hardware colour. It looks very soft too. Don't dislike it as much as I did.

I wouldn't look at it and think urgh in real life or anything. Most people wouldn't, we're just judging harshly because you asked.

So if you really like it, get it.

WatchTheFoxes · 21/12/2017 00:02

It looks very eighties to me, a more versatile colour is burgundy. You also said you'd wear the bag with shorts and a t shirt in the summer? Sorry but that sounds awful, like a teenager borrowing granny's handbag.

ItsYuleyme · 21/12/2017 00:05

It just looks cheap! I don't think that it's authentic and even if it was I've seen much better grey bags than this.

HildaZelda · 21/12/2017 01:29

I think it looks a bit granny too if I'm honest and very 1980s. I'm afraid it's a no from me.

PaxUniversalis · 21/12/2017 08:43

I agree with others who've said it looks very 1980s. It may well work with certain outfits but I personally wouldn't buy this bag.

buggerthebotox · 21/12/2017 09:00

I think you could pull it off, yes. With some edgy styling like in the pic posted above.

JoJoSM2 · 21/12/2017 09:23

Just the sort of style I have been wearing for years (I’m 37, like stuff that’s quite elegant and feminine).

But yes, that style has been set popular for years so it might be worth trying sth different to not to look dated. My next bag will probably be a small structured one with an optional strap.

Also don’t know about the colours you wear but the grey of the bag does look quite drab.

ReallyConvolutedCareerHistory · 21/12/2017 09:35

Also don’t know about the colours you wear but the grey of the bag does look quite drab.

I mostly wear black tops. Sometimes white. Rarely, pink. That's about it.

I actually already have a WOC.

What's a good grey to look for in handbags?

Love it. It's like the inspiration behind the zadig skinny love bags

JoJoSM2 · 21/12/2017 10:10

Well, if the colour works for you, then it’s definitely suitable for year round use.
