lionlaw, I suppose I will pose the question outright to you since you have both black and beige Ormalas ~
I have had the black (pretty sure same black you have, Ignacio recommended it) Ormala on my list for a work bag since the beginning. But I have now seen your beige and it is a classic bag as well. Seems everyone who has commented likes both. In your opinion, which one would you go for if one is looking for a classic work bag? Which of the two would you keep if for some reason you could only keep one?
I have had a classic beige laptop bag from Levenger for some time now. I loved it when I got it, used it on a few trips & got compliments, but I have since fallen out of love with it. Could easily replace it.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Kuwa!
If I could only keep one as a work bag, I would have to go with the black. Black is a basic color that never looks out of place and doesn't show dirt/wear/tear like lighter colors. The beige is beautiful (almost what I would call blonde), but since it is lighter, it will show more dirt/wear over the black. If wear doesn't bother you, go with the beige. It is beautiful. For me, I am anal about wear so if I could only have one, and planned to use it a lot, I would go with the black.
Hope this helps.
