I could use some help. I am trying to decide between rouge casaque and rouge de coeur in a Lindy 26. Both Clemence, both gold hardware. I've had rouge casaque before so this doesn't look "new," but it's still a new bag I intend to use daily. One impresses me as more summery another more wintery. I'm overthinking this. I could use some input!
Thoughts?

@Happyish, have you decided? Sorry I missed this post. I have both red colors and, honestly, I don’t see a huge difference between the two shades unlike if you’d compare with say Rouge H. I love RC, it’s my favourite red—it’s a red-red not orangey red, not blue red. Just red. The RdC is a tad darker red but not big enough of a difference to make it like a Rouge H. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one. If you already have a few RC bags then may be branch out to RdC but you really can’t go wrong with either. Please come back and model your new Lindy for us.

Here are my two reds taken indoors though. Can you tell which is which?

The one with the plaid on the front is amazing (and rare) and has a slightly brighter color. The kelly is gorgeous. I'm not a person who gets red purses, I have an ancient orange bag in orange boite maybe by Marc Jacobs (just a small flap-over). I have started getting a few red separates and your pictures suggest what I've been missing in accessories. Beautiful choices!

P.S. Glad you're back!

Honestly, it's hard to tell. However, my best guess is that the rouge de coeur is at the front, the rouge casaque at the back. I LOVE a red bag, I can tell you do too. To me it's a neutral with a punch. And re my dilemma, I decided, and then I undecided . . . ! The bottom line is that I can't go wrong with either one.

Thanks, @eagle1002us. Red goes with most of my outfits. I wear a lot of neutral—black, white, navy, gray. I like adding a pop of color into the mix. I even got a red H belt too and like to belt it over a denim dress. I think I may have a red gator CDC. Must check my closet…how could I forget?

Look what came it today. A new iPad Pro, now I won’t have to squint when I‘m reading online and playing games again. :P

I do love red. Hehe. And you’re correct, the Kelly is in RC. As a side note, I think I’m going to order myself a RC Hermes lipstick. I think it’ll look fab. :smile:

Good idea. Some of the lip colors I recently saw on tv and in magazines were so pretty. Everyone seems to wear false eyelashes these days. But a beautiful lipstick really makes a statement.

Has the quality of lipstick improved recently? I don't remember lipstick being such an effective product in such a variety of lip colors. Before that, it seemed like Paloma Picasso's Mon Rouge (or similar) was worn for effect.
