I'm glad you ordered the Kale in indigo. Your deep reds are beautiful but I agree perhaps you can add another color to your collection. Post pics when you get it!

BTW I have the Kale Lyndon in a dark blue (don't know if it's Indigo since I bought it last year) and mine seems a little more distressed and deep, saturated color - in some lighting it looks purple - than the stock pic. I also love the suede lining. Kale's designs, colors and details make their bags a great find, IMO.

Ohh I like the sound of your blue bag, I hope the one coming is the same!

Kings_20 - if I go for the blue over the red I'll give you a buzz before returning it. :) I like it better than the Nikki too, I think the hardware and detailing have a bit more personality. Though, it doesn't have the 'feet' on the bottom of the bag.

I just voted and put the poll into a 50-50 tie. lmao! Linda I would wait to receive the indigo before deciding which one to keep. If the indigo is just as gorgeous, then keep that one. If not, then keep the red and hand the Coach and RM down to someone in your family who would use them, if you don't think you can get enough for them on Ebay.

Now that you have discovered Kale, there will be many many more beautiful bags from which you can choose!

On the other hand, if you let the red Kale go, will you keep on regretting it for the rest of your life?

Sorry, I am no help.

Well, no one has picked 'save your money for something else', so I must be on the right track at least.

I just voted for 'keep the bag'. Your pics of the bag are lovely. Of course, it's b/c the bag itself is simply gorgeous! I think I lost my breath momentarily when I first saw the pics. The color is so beautiful! Congrats on your purchase!

Like others have said before, I think that if you're concerned about having too many similar colored bags then perhaps you should consider selling the ones you don't use that much anymore.

Please keep us posted on what happens!

Linda, Linda, Linda! You need to develop your collection in the color department. This is a beautiful bag, but you need to get something in a different color!

Ha!! Well, I do have a purple bag that is not shown in the pic, does that help?

I hope the Inigo will come tomorrow, last time they shipped and I got it in such a jiffy!

I'd opt to keep the Barolo and possibly 1 or 2 red bags. If you sell the others, it'll go toward the cost of your new blue bag!

I went ahead and ordered the Kale in Indigo from BlueFly but I don't know that I'll love it nearly as much as the red. I just have this thing for burgundy, I think I might need outside help.


Linda
Let me say that I absolutely love your Ignes bag. The color is fantastic. I voted to return the Barolo and get the Indigo, so as to have a little bit more color in your collection, but I undertand what you mean. I am also attracted to bags in the same color family and I have to force myself to buy other colors.

Thanks everyone for your input, you all are so helpful!!

Just got a note from BlueFly - they canceled my order for the Indigo because they said that it was out of stock. So - that leaves the red or nothing...

Thank you! It's the Mini Sophia in Raspberry, there are more pics here -

I used to buy all my bags in brown, then I bought one in burgundy and loved it so much the rest is history, lol.

Voodoo - you have the most gorgeous blue bags! I can completely relate to falling in love with a certain color and all it's gorgeous shades..
