Which colour?

I saw this bag on here a couple of months ago and am thinking of treating myself now. I’d like one for all year round that goes with everything. I’m thinking of burgundy or tan. Which would you get? Is tan a bit summery for winter? I wear a lot of black, grey, navy, dark green.......

Personally I like burgundy but then pink is one of my favourite colours...

Thank you. I like the burgundy too.

Burgundy

Burgundy but I'm not a fan of either and don't think the bag looks £150+ worth unfortunately. The colours are a bit off - the tan is more mustard and the burgundy has too much brown in it for me.

The models look gorgeous but it doesn't look like it goes with anything they're wearing, for me it would be awkward to style. Not really smart enough for the office, too smart and heavy looking for airy summer clothes- though I'm sure that is subjective!

Burgundy.

dontgobackonmyheart that's interesting! I first saw these bags when someone in here said they'd got one as part of a restyled to look more put together and she'd loved it. I was thinking of it for work where I need to be smartish but not super groomed.
Your comments give the impression you know what you're talking about. I'll take another look.

Burgundy. Definitely Smile

I would have a careful look at the dimensions. It looks to me as if it might be quite deep. Things tend to get lost to me in a deep bag, so I prefer a slightly less deep style.

JollyGiraffe12 · 22/06/2020 16:23

I don’t personally like it either something just seems slightly awkward about it like it’s neither smart nor casual. It also looks a bit dated to me. Colours wise I prefer the burgundy the tan is an odd shade.

Tan

onlyconnect · 22/06/2020 22:32

I think I'm going to give it a miss after all. Thank you all but I'm put off by the fact that it might be dated which is not what I want at that price!

www.houseoffraser.co.uk/brand/michael-michael-kors/michael-bed-lgm-tote-sh-767260#colcode=76726005 a bit of both worlds, same price range and MK fits the bill with fitting the office, seasons and not over the top. Slightly dearer but think would fit your colour scheme more is www.houseoffraser.co.uk/brand/michael-michael-kors/mmk-voytw-m-tot-sh-ld02-768166#colcode=76816616. And this last one has different colour options though sand instead of tan and something that looks burgundy plus black and blue. Maybe something in HoF might grab your fancy more than these suggestions, a good handbag always nice to have Smile

should maybe add link for the last suggestions: www.houseoffraser.co.uk/brand/michael-michael-kors/bedfor-leather-tote-706526#colcode=70652609 Wink

Have a look at coach, they often have half price sales

Splattherat · 23/06/2020 13:51

Ordinarily i would have said tan but in the photos that tan colour looks too pale and too yellowy/mustardy to be versatile. Personally, I am not that keen on any the other shades.

onlyconnect · 23/06/2020 16:37

Needtheadvice thank you for taking the trouble to look for alternatives for me. I'm afraid though that the ones you linked aren't my taste at all, they look a bit stiff somehow I'm veering back towards the other one!

It's all good, happy it has maybe helped you in some way. At the end of the day, it is you that needs to be happy with it and others can have their own ideas as style is personal Wink
