Help me decide color for Jodie: Travertine or Denim?

[obcessd]

Hi,
I could use some help on my first Jodie. I can’t decide between the color travertine or the denim for the teen Jodie. I know these are very different. I tried the denim l and I love the color but I am worried about it getting dirty easily because the leather has almost a suede feel? Also it is a lot more expensive. $$$

I ordered the travertine color but it doesn’t come until next week. I have heard that the leather is very durable and I do not like to baby bags, I don’t beat them up but to me bags are meant to be used!

I am pretty causal in my style, I live in Northern California and I prefer neutrals or pastel colors so that’s why I’m stuck between these two colors. I’m also a mom in my mid 40s but my kids aren’t in diapers anymore so I don’t have to carry as much stuff which is nice and why I am looking at the teen size. Would love to hear which color people prefer of the two? Which color seems all year round? Does denim feel too trendy and maybe I’d tire of it? TIA! ♥

Travertine! Denim is pretty too but i love the travertine. I have the small in black and love it.

Travertine is lovely. That said, the ‘Denim’ is also very nice and suede-like finish can be easily be brushed for light maintenance; also a good question to ask your SA.

If you want your bag to blend nicely with your neutral palette outfits, probably Travertine is your best bet! The denim is quite striking and will be a ‘pop’ to your outfits

Travertine seems like a chameleon color from what I’ve read from others. I am hoping it’s a color that I can also wear in the winter here since they are mild.

But the denim is so FUN! Very hard decision but I think I may lean towards travertine because it’s beautiful, classic and practical.

I would think of denim as a textural light blue. I write that because if you wear a lot of patterns/textures, the Denim may result in ‘a lot going on’ if you know what I mean. Travertine will read more muted with patterns. Given your style (casual) and colors (pastels) either would go. So then it falls to the idea of texture.

And hello from Sacramento/Bodega Bay!

I love the travertine. Timeless!

Going to go against the grain here and vote for the denim. I think it's more fun and unique and i believe would match with alot (though really depends on your wardrobe). It might be considered a bit more "trendy" but I think light green (I believe that's what travertine color is) and green in general have been trendy this past year as well. Travertine since not overtly green the way a kelly green, mint, or deepee olive color are, could be seen as a neutral but I believe the denim can be too. Just my opinion (for what it's worth, also a mom in my 40s).

I LOVE the Travertine! Beautiful a classic all season color.

Tried to edit my post to add: Both are beautiful and don't think you could go wrong with a Jodie in ANY color. Guess it really depends on your vibe and what you are looking for..... like other posters have stated, the Travertine more "classic" and in my opinion the denim more "hip."

Another weigh in from the Bay Area! I think the travertine is a more go with anything color with a quiet lux feel to it. The denim is a little more opinionated and may take a little more work to find its niche in your purse wardrobe. Both are lovely bags. Can't wait to see what you decide!

Everyone's responses are so good! I am in the East Bay and I have felt it's a bit of a fashion desert where I live, so I'm very excited to see Bay Area folks chiming in!

I love both. The denim is really fun and would be a great spring/summer bag. Travertine would be year round and go with a lot more though, so its the practical choice. And its a fantastic color

Ok, based off of the majority of responses I returned the denim on Friday (wish I could have two ) and I am waiting on the travertine this week. I will post when I receive it! Thank you all!

I totally get you! My first Jodie as well.. love the travertine color but i ended up with denim since it’s hard to come by denim-like leather. Also it gives a more casual vibe. For more ease of use, travertine will fare better i feel. The denim does feel more delicate and may not wear as well as travertine over time. I hope to own a travertine item one day. Enjoy your Jodie!
