I think you made the right decision for you.Same here! And i don‘t wear beige or cream, and only dark gray...i think this is part of the problem...its not a practical color for me....a few months ago i would have kept it, just because i liked it...but this thread is at least helping me to analyze my bag needs more, even if i am still buying too muchI do not have a black or a brown Veneta yet, so i think i will return this and get a color i need...
Thank you for your input

I second your decision. To me, not as much as because the color is extremely difficult to match, but rather because you are hesitating. As such, I would tend to think that you’d prefer your other bags over it most of the time even if this bag would do.Same here!

I hope it is alright to post and pose this question in this thread. I received a bag today from FP that i had on layaway and i am really on the fence about the usefulness of the color. The bag is beautiful and i love it, but the color is very tricky, i am not sure what to wear it with, especially if different color bags would go better....i figured this would be a good place to ask! You are all so helpful
So if any of you have ideas of if it would be a good color to wear with certain colors? Or is it a pass. i am so on the fence about it. The outside pic shows the color better. Its not pink and not buff/nude, but a kind of nude with a pinky undertone? Its a weird color...and even if i wear it with denim, there might be color transfer, and i wonder, would black or other colors go better anyway......help! Any feedback would be greatly appreciatedif you all think it would go with a lot, its a keeper, but if its too tricky, i do ‘t want another bag sitting in the closet unused...
The colour gets a thumbs up from me, looks a lovely but I love pink,blush and beige. I have a couple of pink bags and one beige I've just purchased and wear a lot. I do wear pastel colours, black occasionally and denim and haven't ever had colour transfer,even my LV leather very light cream Pochette Metis coped with jeans okay when worn x body but I've moved it on now
It does of course come down to what you'd wear with it. I'd go through my wardrobe and see how much it went with but if it doesn't make you're heart sing I'd send it back.

Thank you all for your help! The process helped me realize the color won’t work for me....so i thank you also for allowing me to use this venue as a sounding board...i tend to be impulsive in purchasing, buying bags if i like them, without thinking them through...hence a room chock full of pretty bags that aren’t functional for my lifestyle......learning to think things through and analyze my needs is the direction i want to move toward, so that i can actually start shopping my own bag closet! And get off the merry go round of buying/selling/repeat....
@mulbberrygal, i can’t believe you’ve escaped color transfer! And that must have been hard to let go of your PM....was it the color not working for you? I love the style and have wanted one in mono, but all the quality issues with this bag in mono the last couple of years has scared me off....
I used to strive to get bags in every color so I would have a bag that matched each outfit. Then I realized pastels didn't work for me even though I really like the colors. I have a mint green bag I rarely use. I have a pure white bag that I carry a lot in the summer. Because it is pure white, I think it works with bright colors and denim.
Allow me to be sorry on your behalf, but you are right to do what you need to do - even if it's temporary

It the colour Poussin?
I have a Vivienne Westwood suede bag a very similar colour. OMG it is filthy but I call it 'rustique'. I use it because no one will buy it. It's tricky.
Summer only as far as I'm concerned.
I almost bought an a ahermes Bolide Secrete in Gycine so I do like the 'blush' nude (Glycine is far cooler but as light) however it's not a colour thar will look great dirty.
ITA
White, even ivory can be like a neutral pop. I gave away my light leaf green Prada even though the sherbets are OK on me. Pastels don't work on everybody even if some other light colours do.
It was pretty upsetting. I did find a product that removed the color transfer without removing any of the bag color (did a LOT of research on tPF!!!) but it took me ages, because it had to be done in multiple steps.Thank you so much for your thoughtsJust writing the post about it really helped me to see this clearly, and your responses confirmed my thinking....back it goes...
I am so sorry to hear about your yellow Bal bag! But so glad you were able to remove the color transfer....what a nightmare that must have been
I think the bag design is gorgeous. What if you found one in burgundy? That would be perfect with denim… it would make for an interesting contrast, it might be a bit more casual than black, and you wouldn't have to worry about color transfer. Plus, any sort of shoes would work.
Lol
those light colors do get dirty...you made me laugh 
The color is Flamingo....so pretty...i like blush nudes like you do...sad the color doesn’t work for me....i just googled the Bolide in Gycine...gorgeous bag and color! Very similar ....but cooler for sure....the BV flamingo has very warm undertones, making it trickier to wear imo....
Lol
Without fully realizing, thats what i’ve been doing too...building a collection of every color/tone...I love a pure white bag in summer...and your mint green bag sounds very pretty...i have one too and it actually goes with a lot i think....my favorites are pairing it with navy and with emerald green, if those are colors that you wear?
That's a good idea. I do wear a lot of navy. I'll have to try to carry it more often.Lol

Thank goodness for TPF! Amazing you were able to remove the transfer without removing the bag color.....you said its a yellow Bal? I actually end of summer bought the same BV medium veneta in yellow...saving it for spring....and i will not wear it with a denim or dark jacket after reading about your ordeal
....burgundy.....i hadn’t considered one in that color, and i think you are exactly right....if i can find one, i think that color would be fabulous in the medium Veneta, and its a color that works very well for me....thank you for the suggestion! I am going to investigate....unfortunately BV has moved away from its traditional styles, and the only new Venetas are black....so its a matter of finding one at some point on the secondary market.....but they do have a Lauren clutch that i’ve been eyeing, and the Gigolo Red is beautiful in the Intrecciato weave....its like a wine/burgundy color....
Mint green bags are stunning with navy....if you decide to wear it, please post a pic for us!
This is stunning! Would a clutch be a useful size for you?View attachment 4611579
