Do you think Ivory can be worn year-round?

[Hollyberry1213]

Hello,

I am new to the Bal forum (came over from RM) and about to make my very first Bal purchase. I think I have narrowed my choices down to 2 colors: Ink and Ivory. I know these are very different colors...but I am trying to pick a color that I can wear year-round and that will go with most of my wardrobe. (I really want my Bal to be my "go-to" bag).

I wear a lot of browns, blacks, grays and tans...And I LIVE in jeans.

I am leaning towards Ivory (in a twiggy) over Ink (in a Box), but I don't know if I am being swayed by the fact that it is summer in NY and a white bag would be so perfect for right now.

So for those of you with Ivory Bals, do you wear them year round? Do you still want to reach for your Ivory bag when it is November? or February?

Thank you!!!

Used to have an ivory bag (not a Bal though) and wore it year round in NY. I thought it looked good even when I wore dark colors, including jeans and black.

I have an ggh ivory part time and I carry it any time of year. I think the ivory is a nice change in the winter months!

I love Ivory in the winter. Yes, you can wear it year round. But between the two colors, I'd go for Ink. Ivory gets too dirty, especially the handles, then it just looks too icky if you're not careful. Ink goes beautifully with jeans.

Hey Hollyberry! I think Ivory can be all year round, but just make sure you spray LMB's lovin my handles to protect from darkening. Ink would be less high maintenance...

Ivory is definitely a year round color... gorgeous!

Thank you all. I think I'll go for it...I will post pics when I receive it. Hope I win!....

My honest opinion is no. Ivory would be hard to keep clean and I would rather go for a color that will not pick up dirt. Between the two I would choose the Ink. Or wait for another color to come along.

I found my Ink Box used to clash A LOT with my jeans... So I would definitely pick Ivory instead. Good luck winning!

I wear any color year round...but ivory would bemy choice!

I wear my white bal in the winter... but wary of wearing it with jeans though as this color is prone to color-transfer - esp. with dark denim.

eta: very prone

I am def concerned about color transfer...but when worn with the shoulder strap, isn't the twiggy higher than jeans? This is one of the reasons I am looking at an Ivory twiggy vs a city...

i would go with ink but of course ivory looks nice year round. ime, i'd get the bag all dirty and it would just look gross after awhile.

post pics when you get yours =)

Where u the one that won the GSH Ivory Work from ****** on Eb@y? GREAT bag!
I think Ivory can be worn all year but like a lot of the ladies mentioned, you do have to be very color but it's such a classic color.
