I have been shopping for a BV for a while now and I have finally decided on a style. I plan to purchase a BV Pyramid handbag however I need to decide on a great color. I would like to get suggestions on a color as I plan to use this bag as an everyday handbag. I would also like suggestions from current BV Pyramid owners on the weight and durability of the Pyramid handbag. I love the Noce color however I am concerned that as the bag ages and is highly used, the corners may show wear and tear significantly more than the darker colors. Please share your thoughts, experiences, etc.

Unless you really wear a lot of brown, or Moro just fits your wardrobe, I'd lean to either black/Nero or Noce. Then look at your other bags .. do you already have a black that you like a lot and would continue to use? Get the color that completes your bag-wardrobe. What color do you see most in your closet?
About the wear, this is just me but I LIKE a bag with a bit of 'experience' .. some leathers just look great with a little softening and use (the patina of use and, frankly, the oil from our hands), so I'm not worried about that with my noce P.
Did you see the other threads from the last week or two about deciding on Pyramid, Veneta, etc?? There are pictures in those threads, so look at those .. and/or the Ref. Library.
Others will chime in with more ideas .. have fun deciding!

IMO, noce goes with everything. But if you need a black bag you can't go wrong with nero. I find moro a bit dark to pair up with black and navy.

piperlu · Oct 21st, 2008, 06:49 AM

I think that Noce is a beautiful color. It can take you all year long, IMHO.

moro - it can go with everything. bv black is beautiful, and not flat like some black leathers, but i like that dark dark color

I am in agreement with doloresmia..MORO it is..it has taupe undertones, and sometimes actually plum undertones..It is currently my favorite BV color..It is just a very rich looking brown, with no orange undertones..and goes with everything...And I don't think I have ever seen a black pyramid...You can do black in another style somewhere down the road..( am I enabling here????)

I had to make the same choice last summer, and I chose Noce. Very very happy I did. Click on the pic in my signature to see the x-large version.
