Which colour bag?

I've decided I want to purchase this bag.

It's made by a brand called Polene and is absolutely gorgeous I'm just torn between the colours.

Which do you prefer burgundy or chalk?

Ooh that is pretty. I think I prefer the burgundy. And you'd have to every less about marks showing up on that one.

But then the grey might go better with white, navy and grey clothes. Do you tend to wear those colours lots?

I vote burgandy though :)

Umberellatheweatha · 03/08/2021 21:13

*worry less about

DramaAlpaca · 03/08/2021 21:16

For me, I'd choose the chalk although I'd worry about it getting marked.

I suppose think about what colours you tend to wear, and also will you use it more in winter or summer. Burgundy is a nice wintry colour, while chalk is more summery.

@Umberellatheweatha yes that's a good point! Thanks I didn't think about Marks

I also feel like the burgundy looks a bit kore luxurious and is maybe more of a winter look.

They do a taupe/grey but it's a bit boring I think

I prefer the burgundy, I do like both colours though.

enoughforme · 03/08/2021 21:23

Here's the taupe one probably the only other colour I would consider I think but a bit bland I think maybe

Burgundy

yellowsofa · 03/08/2021 21:28

Chalk for now. Burgundy for late autumn/winter.
Get both!!

enoughforme · 03/08/2021 21:29

@yellowsofa haha at £300 a piece I think not!!

I actually like taupe one

Umberellatheweatha · 03/08/2021 21:30

The taupe is nice too. I prefer it to the first light coloured one.

enoughforme · 03/08/2021 21:31

@Winter2019 @Umberellatheweatha I think you're right - I think the taupe is better than chalk now!

Perhaps the taupe is all seasons too - just worried it's a bit bland at least the burgundy is a bit more interesting perhaps

I bought a caramel bag recently and its lovely but I've never reached for it. Not yet anyway. But I think if it had been grey I might have because it goes with more of my wardrobe. So...I still vote burgandy but...maybe the taupe would go better with stuff? But then, at least the burgandy would be fine with black. Hmmm...first world problems lol.

We're not far off autumn now though too so the lighter colours might not get much use soon?

Galassia · 03/08/2021 21:35

I like the taupe best, then the burgundy and then the chalk.

FunnyWonder · 03/08/2021 21:36

Just checked the link. The terracotta is beautiful (not very helpful ...!)

Between your colours though, I really like the burgundy.

Galassia · 03/08/2021 21:39

Actually out of all the colours and there are quite a few, I like the blush one best -

enoughforme · 03/08/2021 21:42

@FunnyWonder now I like terracotta too LOL!!! I'm really torn.

I also want it to match wardrobe. I think for versatility the Taupe one matches anything - burgundy and terracotta are nicer but burgundy is more of a winter bag ultimately.

With that said I wear dark brown bags all year round so it could work!!

enoughforme · 03/08/2021 21:43

@Umberellatheweatha lol I agree! But also maybe burgundy I won't reach for in summer but I also have plenty of summer bags to keep me going. Decisions decisions!

Haha you're literally just like 'I want all the baggggggs'. And then we're following the links like 'we want all the bags too!' xD

I've just fallen in love with Polene following g a recommendation on another thread here last week. I'm going to buy a numero un but also can't decide on colour as they are all so nice...

All the colours are lovely but I would go burgundy or terracotta. I would avoid anything too light- I bought a light bag similar to the chalk colour a few years back from Anya Hindmarch and it stained badly from denim transfer from my jeans.

CorianderBee · 03/08/2021 22:05

I like blush or burgundy

Umberellatheweatha · 03/08/2021 22:11

I don't think I would ever buy a white or cream coloured bag again because I've noticed they all seem to turn yellowy over time. But maybe that's leather thing. Grey ones seem fine.
