Black with black is nice. The other two look like any other bag.

Sunshineandrainbow · 28/09/2024 01:41

Either of the black

loropianalover · 28/09/2024 01:47

Black with black hardware.

I like choice no 3, Black with Black.

It really stood out for me.

So exciting! I love the cream - I think the detailing comes through really nicely on it, and I'd be happier to wear it throughout the year (I tend to stay away from black leather bags in the spring/summer, but that's just me).

Ultimately though I'd pick cream because it would suit my wardrobe best - what colours do you tend to wear?

Between the two black ones I'd take the one with the gold hardware as it breaks it up a bit.

I would go with the middle one. I don't like the black hardware on the third option.

Like PP, I generally wouldn't carry a black bag in the summer, but I think that the one with black hardware would look particularly naff with summer clothes.

I like the black with black best.

I don’t really like the cream one and feel like it would get really grubby? (I had a beautiful tan bag that ended up like that way too early!)

Black on black. I think colour transfer could happen on the cream.

Steppingintome · 28/09/2024 11:11

I wouldn’t go for cream for everyday at work. They mark easily and look grubby after a while. More for occasional use.

I like both of the black options but the black on black gives it something a bit different.

I have this bag in chestnut and it is a lovely bag so whatever you decide I’m sure it will be great 👍

CeeceeBloomingdale · 28/09/2024 11:13

The cream will pick up colour from clothes etc. I prefer the traditional black with gold surprisingly, I imagine the black hardware will scratch.

I have the cream one in mini size and love it, but it isn't a winter bag. I love the black on black and am considering that. The oversized black on black is often discounted at the outlets.

RTHJ14 · 28/09/2024 11:46

I’d go traditional hardware on black.. cream beautiful but they are a nightmares for colour transfer/dirty corners. Love an Alexa!

Isabelle70 · 28/09/2024 11:46

Either of the black ones for every day wear and I like the all black as it's a bit different.
I would go for chalk in a small occasion bag as it would get colour transfer very easily.

Imthefairyonthetree · 29/09/2024 01:06

Thank you so so much for all your options. My heart was the black with gold. I like the cream the best but know it’s not sensible.

Go with the black and gold. The cream isn’t an everyday bag.
