Hi all - I am thinking about getting the full size Coach Duffle but can't decide between Vermillion and Oxblood. I have this bag in black already. I would really love a more "true orange" bag, so the Vermillion falls a little short. I like the Oxblood as an alternative to black, but it seems like it's more of a winter bag, where Vermillion could be used year 'round. I wear a lot of neutral colors (black, white, gray) and most of the bags in my collection also fall into that category (black, white, taupe, tan, nude, etc.). I do have the Emery bag in Teak, which is kind of close to Oxblood and would serve a similar purpose as an alternative to black. Don't have anything really close to the Vermillion color (but maybe there's a reason for that). Help.

Oxblood is very dark. You already have this bag in black so I would say they are too much alike. If you want to wear this bag year round, I wouldn't go for this.

You also asked yourself why you didn't have something close to Vermillion. If you always wear neutrals why do you want a colourfull bag now? Although Vermillion still is on the neutral side. If you gently want to dip your toes in colour, this is a nice gateway. If you want a true orange bag, why not take the plunge? Do you know why you suddenly want a true orange bag?

I'm always passively watching for a great orange bag. When I've had them in the past, I found they went with almost everything I wear. I guess I hesitate on Vermillion because it reads Saddle/British Tan to me at first. I'm thinking it might not be orange enough.

I just got the Vermillon duffle and while it's not carrot orange it isn't like saddle or British tan (I had the classic Coach tan duffle back in the day and the colors aren't similar IMO). It's an absolutely gorgeous color - I got the dinky in Vermillon also.

I also have the large duffle and dinky in vermillion and i love this color! I totally agree with Daisy22. I actually have all the colors except black and saddle and vermillion are my favorites. I have the oxblood but it doesn't pop like the others.
