Default Courier, where and which color?

hi ladies, i have been loving courier (i heard there are 2 sizes, i want the smaller ones, how to differentiate?) since e 1st day i saw the pic on tpf but i hesitated and scared that i wont be using it later on in life,
then today i have decided to buy it =))) please do advise me on which color i should go with, i am planning to use this courier when i am travelling, i want pop up color ( so it will stand out the pics - i dun want black/white/brown or neutral colors) but i need the color to be subtle too, for example like rouge vif.

anybody knows how much is the smaller size is for retail price? and where i can get this bag other than evilbay heuheue =) i dont mind 2nd hand ones, please please help me =) thank you for your kind attn =)

Hi, I think the small size of the courier is the day (Check reference library)
But even if you don't like browns, I think that the current season's saddle color pops up in pictures.
Otherwise, just go into the color you use the most.
Bbags colors always pop up!!!

Hi, I have a courier in blue roi from 2006 which is perfect for that 'pop' of colour whilst still being wearable. However this colour is no longer in stores so I suggest the new marine, ruby sounds lovely too. I would buy a colour which goes well with your wardrobe i.e. if you wear a lot of pink a ruby courier would be less suitable as pink and red clash etc.

I started a thread dedicated to couriers here: Join the Courier club and post pics!:P

check it out, it should help you!

Default Hi

I did see them in both sizes two days ago in Antwerpen Belgium, but they dont send outside Europe. The biggest in Anthra and the smaller in that dirty grey brown. Sot there are two sizes and yes there is also the day a complete different bag with the whipstiched handle.
Good luck and Hugs and find Yourself a beauty FX

There are definitely 2 sizes. I ordered one last year on BlueFly and didn't realize it was the Courier Extra I think it's called. My gosh, it looked like a body bag it was so huge. Sent it back immediately. I carry my regular size courier everywhere. Just went to Geneva last weekend and my cognac looks gorgeous in the photographs. I know you don't want neutrals, but the cognac has just enough of a rust color that it just pops beautifully and can be worn with sooooo much. My friend has a rouille one that is so beautiful also.

OOooooooh there's always something new to learn!!!
I'd definetely recommend RUBY, as you can see from many pics from tPFers, it came out really saturated and the leather looks so full of color!!!
But choose the right shade IRL, because it vary sooooooo much from a bag to another!!!

^you look really hot in this avatar, Vida from Milan. you resemble marisa tomei.

you might want to consider the possibility of colour transfer. i usually read of colour transfer of clothes to bag and seldom the other way around. so, it's probably wiser to choose a medium or darker tone. for big bags, medium tones are never 'wrong', imho. they give bit of pop if you're too timid to take something too bright.

When I was in Singapore (hi glossie) earlier this year, running around in the midday heat with my black courier worn cross body, I ended up with unsightly grey patches on my white top. Light coloured clothes, heat, dark bag: not a good combination. They washed out though, thankfully.

Haven't had that problem since.
