Green sounds like a good neutral. Forest green? Olive green? I've been trying to work with navy a bit more.

So have I! Or my distance glasses are on my face, and my reading glasses are tucked in the front of my sweater.
So glad to hear I'm not the only one.
I would never use baby wipes on a bag. If you need to clean leather, white vinegar is the safest choice.

Thanks! I love bucket bags. The orange and blue ones are belted pouches from the mid 90s.
The red one is a Sonoma pocket drawstring, also mid 90s.
The black one is a Sheridan Marietta drawstring, made in the early 90s. I don't have a catalog picture of it.
Olive green! I like navy too but at the moment I am getting more greens as they are easier to find.
They are beautiful. I love a good bucket bag.
I love this story! DH is so cute thinking he picked blue!I agree! But what's funny about this is the backstory. There were two identical Natasha bags at Nordstrom that day. The plum one (in photo) and a black one. I, of course, being a weenie about color, reached for the black one. The Hubster suggested the plum one. "Really? PURPLE???" As it happens, he's color blind, so he thought it was blue.But, okay, never mind. He thought a bag in a colorful leather would make me happy. And he was right! It makes me smile every time I carry it.
I had 2 Natashas, when I bought my first Natasha I was choosing between black and yellow - DH said yellow for sure. It was a great happy bag. I enjoyed it so much, I bought a second Natasha, in Electric Stage Blue. I sold the yellow one and your story made me smile to remember my colour vs black decision, too! Great leathers!
Huggies sensitive. I use them on every bag now, including all my LVs (canvas and leather). Light pressure, use more than one application after letting it dry in between if necessary. I would not use them as the main means to remove stains, more for general cleaning. As for vinegar, as another person suggested, I would not use it on my bags since it has a pH of 3 (too acidic) which is the same pH as the chemical peels I use on the skin of my facial clients. I would not use a product at either extreme of the pH scale, including any bar soap (too alkaline).
Would you believe… talking about Natasha bags has sent me scurrying over to Flea Bay to check them out??? Eek! I see one there in a nice shade of dark-ish green that's tempting me. I think the price is too high, but there's the opportunity to make an offer, and I'm going to think about it.
Maybe.
Depending on how the rest of the week goes.

Congrats! I love the leather on the Natasha bags.
I am sorry that you are going through a difficult time, and I hope you are feeling better. Sending big hugs your way.
That’s why I don’t want to say “I’ve lost my bag shopping urge.” The moment I say those words, I feel the urge!!

Beautiful vintage Coach collection! I love the range of colors and styles. Those belted bucket bags are really cute.
