I own the Mad in gray and love it. I wear it with gold jewelry all the time. Fashion police haven’t arrested me yet.

Sister has an olive purse (different brand) and wears it with everything and I think it looks great. She’s not got a rap sheet yet either.

So both colors are extremely neutral and versatile. I’d let the deciding factor be whether you like gold or silver better. If you really don’t like gold, you won’t likely just wake up with a new-found fondness for it. Buy the gray and enjoy a really lovely bag.

Welcome to the club in advance!

That's how I see it too. Both colors are neutral and versatile, which explains why I'm in a fix. [emoji23] This year, I started mixing metals for my jewellery but found small doses does it for me and I think you also made me realise I can't do all gold. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the warm welcome! [emoji253]

After trying on the Amazone and the Mademoiselle numerous times, I think the small Mademoiselle fits my needs better in terms of space.

I can't seem to decide on the color though. Khaki is my favourite kind of green but I'm partial to gold hardware. Khaki seems versatile enough to provide a dose of color to my wardrobe of predominantly whites, blacks, grays, and navy. This year, I started to experiment with orange and red outfits and Khaki seems to be able to work with these colors too. I do have my black Madeline to fall back on. The thing is, I do wear khaki pants and tops, but never had a khaki colored bag before. I also really like the khaki small cuir and considering it too.

The gray has my preferred silver hardware and is also a neutral. I keep coming back to @Cosmopolitan 's beautiful gray Mlle. It just feels like a staple classic that won't go wrong.

Suggestions are most welcome. Thank you all, in advance. View attachment 4150000View attachment 4150001

I would go with the gray because I feel it's more neutral. The hardware would not sway me - I'd just go with the more neutral colour

I also have the grey. And I Love it. I can unterstand your thoughts about the hardware. And that is one of the reasons I also went with the grey. Because of the silver. It is more neutral. And I think ist is more versatile. You can go with it elegant or sporty..

Just tried on the new Shop It hobo at Bloomies and it’s a great style, easy to wear and practical. Now I have to decide if I can get past my longstanding aversion to animals on handbags. What does everyone really think of the horsey? Big deal or no? Please don’t say it’s cute because cute is not my thing at all. :shocked:

Ever since I first noticed LC bags, the one thing which makes me know it's an LC is the horse. I first noticed a horse stamped on the flap of an LP Nylon and was really excited when I tracked down the boutique where these bags came from a few months later - all thanks to the large horse logo on the outside of the boutique. I don't find the horse cute at all - it's what I associate with LC :biggrin:

The galloping rider is iconic of LC and I find it gives the bag a nice detail but not overwhelming. Like what @SmokieDragon says, I associate this with LC. Of course, I might be biased as I am born in the Year of the Horse. It is definitely not cute. Instead, I find the tone on tone look elegant and I am sure you will receive compliments on it.

This style appeals to me, thanks for posting! I think the horse is okay for casual wear. But may be too informal for more formal business environment.

Thanks to all who offered opinions on the Shop It hobo. After sleeping on it, I have to agree with @EGBDF that the horse logo is just too big, at least for my taste. It's a shame really, because I like all other elements of the bag.

On a more positive note, I received my black Foulonne tote a couple of days ago and it's a definite keeper! :smile: The bag stands up on its own but it's very soft and supple and molds to the body. Generous shoulder drop and super easy to wear. I'd buy it in other colors in the future.
