contrast stitching - fan or not?

it really depends on the bag for me - so i guess i won't be too helpful here, since i would have to see the ergo in real life to decide. sometimes it really does make or break the bag for me though!
 
I really like contrast stitching, especially on black or other dark bags. It makes it look a little more casual, which fits my wardrobe better. Of course, it depends on the bag itself, too, and the colour of the stitching. There was a black leather hamptons tote a while back that I loved but it had blue stitching. That would've driven me crazy because I never wear blue and even though it was subtle, I would've felt like it was clashing with everything I own (I wear lots of reds, pinks, greens, etc.).
 
haha, anyone want to answer for me?


In all serious no, I find most contrasting stitching to be rather cheapish, and too trendy for my taste. It's cost many sales on my part, because I'm so anal and can't stand the stitching. It's taken this long for the striped wristlet to grow on me because of the stitching.
