Hi all,

I need your help. I recently found out that Germaine Guerin is being revived. I own a few vintage bags from the brand and read on PurseForum that someone had pre-ordered one of their first re-editions, the Lorette bag.


From what I understand, they don’t have physical distribution yet, but I still want to see what the quality is like, since the brand used to be very popular in the 1960s, so I have decided to pre-order.


I need your advice because I’m not sure which colour to choose. They only have three colour options so far: Ivory, Black and Arabica (brown).

I really like the Ivory, which reminds me of Hermès’ Craie, but I’m hesitant since light colours require a lot of maintenance. So it would be either Black (though I already own quite a few, as you can imagine) or Arabica.


What’s your take?
 
Germaine Guerin was the inspiration behind Coco Chanel's famous 2.55 handbag.
Personally, if your wardrobe is classic colors (black, brown, navy & even neutrals)
black seems to be the instinctive go to but all the colors compliment one's wardrobe, JMO
