Default Need advice from Carmino Veneta owners
Hi there,

I am intending to get a large Veneta in carmino and wondering if it goes with many clothing colours. To me, red is a classic colour like black/white. I love red but part of me thinks the classic colours like noce and ebano are 'safer'. Help!

I have the large veneta in carmino, and although I am not a 'red' person, I love the bag. The red is truely wonderful and seems to match so many things. I say go for it. You can always get a classic colour later.

I don't have a carmino Veneta but I do have a carmino Montaigne and I love it. Until I took the plunge I had never had anything but neutral colours (noce was daring for me!) so I was worried I wouldn't use the carmino much, but I was pleasantly surprised by how versatile it really is. I say snatch up carmino while you can - it is an awesome red!

I find browns harder to match than red. It does depend on your overall wardrobe but I must say you can't and won't go wrong with Carmino, a true classic red. You'd be surprised how easy it is to wear.

I was a season too late discovering BV and went nuts trying to find carmino. I finally did, and I love it! Goes with everything.

I've a medium carmino veneta and totally agree with the ladies. It goes with black, white, brown, grey, green, beige...well, basically everything.

Thanks for all the encouragement :) Makes my job easier. It's so hard to make a decision when every colour looks so good!

I just got the new Ball yesterday, and I LOVE the color. It's a nice, saturated true red. I'm wearing it today with black, but think it will look fine with a broad spectrum of colors. I'd definitely add my vote to the others who are saying go for it!
