I really like a blue patent handbag ... but would it be a silly buy when I have a black winter coat?

I returned my christmas present as the handbag was faulty and have been looking for an alternative. I quite like the look of a blue patent bag on M&S ... but is navy blue only really suitable for summer rather than with a black winter coat etc?

Personally, I don't think it matters with a bag like this - it's not meant to match an outfit, I would say: it's a statement bag as much as an accessory. So if you like it, buy it!

But I'm sure some more stylish MNers will be along to tell you what to do!

I think the navy one is fine for both summer and winter.Worn with black coat and navy/pink scarf.You're good to go girl!!

Its a lot cheaper than my other bag so I could afford the new scarf to go with it!

Should go with black coat. I like it!

I saw it in my local store the other day and went back twice to see it .. thats usually a good sign! Ive always thought that blue and black were pretty much no go's though .. other than denim obviously!

thank you ggirl ... I am too old and ropey to be "in" .. more concerned about being totally "out" but its good to know. I think I may well go and purchase it on Friday when Im off work!
