It's hard to say because I haven't see that color in person yet. I like to see red bags in person to make sure they are wearable. My favorite bag color of all time is red but some reds are so over the top that it's hard to wear as a neutral. I like true red, lipstick red but with more blue tones than orange. It seems like this poppy color could be that kind of red but I would want to see it first, just to be sure.
