So, how do we all feel about navy blue bags? The trend has been ongoing for a while now, and we’ve all had time to get used to the idea. Have any of you guys bought them? Do you get as much use out of them as you would a black or grey bag? Would you buy them again?

I haven’t bought one because I fear that it would clash with my wardrobe, which is largely comprised of blacks, dark greys, and brights. I don’t think navy would work with the amount of black that I normally wear, and you have to be kind of careful about mixing brights with other colors. So I’m not sure that navy is for me, but if it was, I’d be lusting after the Furla Adriana Slouchy Hobo. As far as bags that I would buy, it’s prototypical: hobo shape, decent elbow clearance for swinging it onto my arm, slouchy-and-thick leather. If it was a different color and had an outside pocket for my Blackberry, you could sign me up for one of these today. Buy through Saks for $495.

I have a Furla bag and their leather is exquisite. I am a huge fan of hobo style bags, and this one is definitely my style. Not to mention that I'm so into navy blue lately.... I' so getting this bag. Gorgeous!

I could really use a navy bag, this one is nice!

Nice bag!

GottaShop2 · Aug 8th, 2009, 03:47 PM

I like this bag for the shape and the deep navy color (as it shows up on my monitor!)

I think navy is more practical than what people give it credit for. I opt for bags that are not black to go with my black and grays. I love hobos for the most part and this one is an eye catcher!!

Navy is great....but I don't understand that extra strap.

LilTiffany · Aug 27th, 2009, 09:02 PM

Btw, Saks sells it in black and navy blue and the Furla web-site sells it in red/black/navy blue.

The extra strap is so the user has the option of wearing it cross-body - which is actually what got me interested in this bag in the first place! =)

Has anyone purchased it that wouldn't mind providing some modeling pics?

It's GORGEOUS!

I like this but would interested to see how it looks in the other colours, but its nice for a navy bag.
