Please help . . looking for a gray bag. need suggestions!!
I posted a recent thread on a gray anya hindmarch bag, and like most posters I agree the bag is 'okay' not necessarily a love love situation for me. I've been having a hard time finding a gray handbag though, do you have any suggestions? i don't want a chanel flap in gray (although it's absolutely gorgeous) because I don't think it's very practical. I want something larger, more for everyday use. I still want it to be elegant though. Have you seen any stand out gray handbags as of late, or in the past I might be able to track down (ebay etc..). I really haven't found one that I *love* and have to have, my reaction most of the time is just 'meh'. I'm open to any suggestions . .
price range is 2K or less Thanks! |

I tried to find a variety of shapes and sizes,
some of them are more metallic than gray: http://couture.zappos.com/n/p/dp/61572327/c/1212.html http://www.shopbop.com/stud-nikki-ho...7&extid=affprg http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/s...ctId=502075883 http://www.forzieri.com/usa/product_...5=&dept_id=18# http://www.katespade.com/product/ind...YJNHra5gdQ6YMQ http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3057603?...ukHfV2S3yGSznw http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/...DIJMPbW9htjCnQ http://us.burberry.com/product/index...ll:hero:081109 |

Aside from the Amalia tote above, there is also an Amalia shoulder bag by Lanvin that I really love - it comes in a larger size and a smaller (I have the smaller and find it perfect for everyday at least for my purposes)
http://www.barneys.com/Amalia%20GM%2...efault,pd.html Other than that, Belen Echandia has several styles you can choose from and has a couple of beautiful greys. Many rave about the dark grey matte leather while I have a tote in Taupe glossy that I really love (it is more like a warm grey). There is a beautiful dark grey glossy and light grey glossy as well (the glossy leathers are almost like patent, very hard-wearing and have lots of character). http://www.belenechandia.com/luxury-...ollections.asp My last suggestion would be Balenciaga - they seem to be coming out with Anthracite every year and also have a lighter grey color out. |

My suggestion is Belen Echandia...you can bespoke a bag for well under your price cap...and customize hardware, lining etc to fit your dream bag!!
