I have the opportunity to buy a Saint Laurent wallet on chain in a bright fuschia for a discounted price as my friend is looking to sell. I adore the bag itself but I am usually a neutral colour girl. I thought that since this bag would be more of an evening bag I could use a pop of colour. What are your thoughts on the longevity of this colour? I don't want it to look dated or too young for me years from now. Opinions are much appreciated!

Fuchsia is a GREAT color, You can wear it any season,
and it is great for a Pop Of Color
I own a mulberry pink item. Close to fuschia, rather unusual tone. I really enjoy using it.
I think that pink flatters & cheers women, so we keep rediscovering it @ many ages.
Being the color worn to show support, for breast cancer patients & survivors, it's a classic in my book. Brings hope to the suffering & celebrates victories/2nd chances.
Perfect.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your comments, everyone! It sounds like pink is fairly popular! Part of me is nervous I won't be able to rock a bold coloured bag, my clothes and bags tend to be neutral.
Such a beautiful bag!! The Saint Laurent I am looking at is the same colour!
I have always admired bright bags but have never owned one but your bag is definitely making me consider it.
Such a classic!
I bought a bright fuchsia crossbody, this year...and to my delight found I can wear it all year long, not just in the summer.
Go for it!
For my mother having a bright pink bag is a must whereas I prefer bright greens as a pop. I think you have to relate to a certain colour in order to make it a signature/classic, but it's personal.
Having said that, I do think that red and/or bright pink bags are really popular judging by posts on tPF

My clothes are mostly neutral too, Prettyvogue, which is why I can rock the pops of color in small bags pretty easily. Here is my fuchsia crossbody, a Chanel mini! I just got the card case at Tiffany & Co. and I was so pleased that it was a perfect match!

I have heard that pink is the navy blue of India. 
Really, color is such of a personal thing. I agree with papertiger that it's best if the color really resonates with you.
I get the sense from your first post that you like the bag, but the color wouldn't be your first choice. If you don't love it, I say pass, even though it might be a good deal. I'm sure every woman on this board has bought a bag on sale, because it was on sale, and then later come to regret it.
On the other hand, if it's a WOC, it's small, and probably not a humungous financial commitment. If you don't love love love it as a bag, you can always use it simply as a wallet inside of your other bags.
As to the longevity of pink, I can say that I have loved pink for several decades now. It mioght be having its moment in the limelight, but it's not a weird strange color like neon yellow or something ultra trendy. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a pink bag on the basis of its color.
