Please help me choose a tote bag colour

[pregahes]

I love this demelier bag I'm torn between brown suede, black suede and olive,

What do you think of all the colours?

Olive it is 🙌

@PepsiMaxLime it's a beauty isn't it!

Olive for me.

I've also how spotted this one in their new arrivals...

I think I'm going for the bucket bag instead 😭

I am not keen on the strap on the bucket bag.

Mocha suede

Mocha!

That puts me off it too.

OP if you like the bucket bag can I suggest the Always from Paris64? They’re a similar brand to Demellier in terms of price point etc but the quality of level and detail is outstanding.

I’ve recently got the Baby Always and it’s far more beautiful than any LV, Mulberry etc that I’ve previously owned. Just look at that lining!:

Olive but possibly New York style if I was going for this brand

Well I just bought the tan on the back of this thread… I’d agree with olive leather being much more long-lasting in a wet climate

@pepperaunt brilliant glad I helped by starting the thread! Did you go for the tote style as in the original post?

Enjoy it!

Go for the Olive. That bag is just better all round than the bucket bag. And Olive works all year round. And leather is far more practical than the suede.

Olive! I'm a huge fan of olive; I think it's a really under-used neutral. Goes with a surprising number of outfits and colours, works all the year round, looks less boring than the usual black/brown/navy options.

The mocha for sure.
I really dont like the olive one at all.

@BananaPyjamaLlama do you think it's winter looking though?

Olive

@pregahes I love the mocha. And would use that all year round - why not? Or have a summer bag and a winter bag - but if you are buying this now surely even if its a "winter looking" colour you'll be using it every winter for years to come, decades. Especially at £445. Its leather so if its of a quality to justify that price it should last for many many years.

Oh I'm loving the Olive one OP!😍

@pregahes ah just spotted the mocha is suede - that would make it a non purchase for me. Not practical. And I really dont like the olive.
I would LOVE a really beautifully made leather bag, one Id use and keep for many years but I wouldnt pay £30 for that one tbh. Not what Im looking for in a bag.

Another vote for Olive 100%

Olive is the best colour!
