hi ladys~ i got my carmino large veneta hobo yesterday~ yeah~
i love the style but i am still not so sure about the color.

it was 30% off so i paid $1295+tax.
i saw few pictures of Reese Witherspoon and she looked good with black veneta. should i pay $500 more to get black hobo?? what would you do?
please help me decide~!

btw, there was no mirror. i guess because it was on sale??? not good...

Speaking from experience (I just bought and returned an Aurora Veneta and planning to buy a black BV, not sure yet of style), I would say keep the bag only if you really love it. If it were me, I'd give it a few days to grow on me (so long as you have the luxury of time as I know some stores have different return policies when it comes to sale priced items). The sale price won't be worth it if you end up not using the bag because of the color. JMHO.

As lovely as carminio is, it's not for everyone. I had it in my hands several times, even at a discount, and I still could not commit to it. I have a nero/black veneta though and the moment I tried it on, it was a no-brainer. Some colors just work better even if they're not vibrant and exciting. The mirror thing would definitely bother me. If the carminio doesn't work for you, I'd act quick and get the nero/black before the price increase. You won't regret it.

aww, i have this bag in the same colour. i totally love it and red is my favorite colour. i think you should return it if you don't love it.

Give it a few days and see how you feel about it. I recently bought an Oceano med veneta and a ferro Sloane. I returned the Sloane after a week as it just didn't grow on me much as I liked the style and the lovely photos posted on this site. I wasn't too sure about the Oceano either, both the veneta style and the colour, but I used it after a few days and now I'm totally in love with it and am so glad i kept it. I'm also very glad I returned the ferro Sloane. Hope you'll reach the right decision for yourself.
