Summer Birkin

[MillStream]

I'd like a 30cm Birkin, not white or blue jean, that brightens up my summer wardrobe. Here are the possibilities I can think of, all with PH:

• raisin
• rouge garrance
• rouge h
• blue brighton
• vert anis
• chartreuse
• potiron

FYI, I've got a 30cm Black Togo Birkin GH. Would the Raisin PH be too close to that? I've also got a 35cm Gold Togo Birkin GH and feel one Gold Birkin is enough for me.

If I could get something that would work year-round in New England that would be, as Marthas says, a good thing. Am I forgetting some colors?

Barenia/toile?

What about rose dragee or rose shocking? I'm not too familiar with new England culture but I love those colors

Millstream, have you seen Gris Tourterelle in Togo yet? I think it's a great summer bag . I am presuming that your summer clothes are more colourful, and a bright neutral would be a nice compliment, no?

Anyway, of the 4 colours you have listed, I voted for Rouge Garance!

Great idea, HG. I completely forgot about Toile!

I wish they were, S! I tend to wear black, white, black and white, and natural linen. Soooo, I need some color in my bag.

The brighton blue... it's so versatile.

Rouge Garance.

- Year Round wear.
- Perfect for Summer with neutral wardrobe...ie White, Black, Khaki's and Jeans.
- Very New England, in a Nautical Red kind of way.
- It stands OUT!
- Versatile
- It's the perfect RED.

Brighton blue or vert anis

For a purely summer Birkin, I vote for crinolin/barenia--unusual and light.
For summer but versatile, I second Rose's vote for brighton blue.

Barenia/toile?

I agree with this! If you don't have an issue with the darkening handles of natural barenia, it is an excellent bag for summer!

Of the choices I'd pick brighton - have you considered Thalassa blue?

Milstream, I am having the same dilemma. I would like to find a summer-suitable bag. Of your choices, I think rouge garance is the most appealing and the one with the most staying power. I am not a red person myself, so for my summer search, I am gravitating toward natural or natural sable, although unfortunately I am not turning anything up in that color.

I am loving my chartreuse. There are so many great colors.

I love brighton blue, vert anis or barnia toile. Just adore those colors especially for summer!
