Hi, please help me pick my next bag that has some pops of color for the summer! I’m looking for something small sized that can fit all my essentials (card case, iPhone 12, EarPods, car keys, pack of mints, lip balm, and sunglasses.

My wardrobe is very neutral colored and similar consists of brands like Cos, Zara, and Vince.

My regular casual bag rotation is LV Pochette Metis, small grey Balenciaga City, PS1 Small in tan leather.

Which of the following would you vote to spice up my casual closet rotation? (I added a Celine nano luggage in grey bc it’s so pretty but grey isn’t a pop color haha.. should I stay neutral?)

I'm afraid I'm going to be biased here, sorry :) Since you already have the Pochette Metis and a similarly designed PS1 Small, I wouldn't go for the Monceau, although it is very pretty. The other LV doesn't really do anything for me. The Alma, even in red, is a classic, and with silver hardware, it looks quite casual, IMO. The price is good, too, not too expensive, considering it's a classic LV bag in Epi leather. The Nano Luggage is nice, too, but I feel like it's just a bit overpriced... And like you said, doesn't really stand out in this color. So my favorite would be the Prada Monochrome. Yellow is such a gorgeous color! And I like the design. The logo being the same color as the leather makes the bag stand out even more, I think.

My vote is for the Alma. I have a similar colored Longchamp purse and it surprisingly goes well with most of my wardrobe. I also love the Prada, but personally yellow isn’t my favorite. However, Saffiano leather is just lovely to me in any color. Keep us posted with your pick!

I agree with this for the exact same reasons! I am loving yellow as a pop.

Pantone said that yellow and grey were colors of the year 2021. When spring is coming I always gravitate to yellow. But I don't crave it after Easter and make it work on some summery days. As much as I love the Prada, I think you'll get most wear out of the Alma. The rest feels a tad too dull to be a pop of color.

I prefer the Poppy Alma BB. Have you had the opportunity to try them on/see them in person? The Prada is cute. Would you get more wear/enjoyment out of a red or a yellow bag?
