Black or Blonde Bonnie?

user082008 · Jun 22nd, 2008, 04:38 PM

Pros and cons of each color? I really like the blonde but concerned about stains etc. I like the black but I'm concerned about it looking dull and faded and scratches showing up more. Plus I'm kind of tired of dark bags. Opinions please?

I have the Black Bonnie & I love it. It is so cute and classy at the same time. I have used the heck out of my Bonnie and I don't see any wear on her. I think either color choice you can't go wrong. Maybe both, Black for winter and Blonde for summer.

Does anyone think the black shows scratches more? I noticed on some of my bags especially the black bags that scratches stand out more so than light colored bags. Also does the black bonnie tend to look dull over time like some black leather does? I don't like to conditin bags so I'm wondering if with the black if I'd always have to do this?

I ordered a blonde, hopefully when I get it I don't wish for a black one. We will see. ::crosses fingers::

I was gonna vote for blonde!!

Thanks everyone for your votes

but the blonde bonnie arrived and sadly it's going right back. It was a good size in the interior for me but the shape didn't fit me the way I wanted it to. The strap is also a bit too think and it easily falls off my shoulder. The search continues.........

I usually end up carrying mine on my arm which looks nice.

Yea I was contemplating that but the bag I have now I carry on my arm and shoulder so I kind of want something that I can wear either way. The blonde bonnie barely stayed on my shoulder and I didn't like the bow as much as I thought. And it smells kind of chemically which I'm sure dissipates in time but it made my hands smell too and couldn't stand it. Thanks everyone for your help!

That is weird. I have never had the chemical smell before. Does anyone else know what caused that?

user082008 · Jun 27th, 2008, 11:58 PM
