Lol about the worms! I just gave my mom a brick red gathered twist phoebe & now I'm thinking about worms! Doh! But IRL it doesn't look wormy at all ;)

I love a nice black bag, but w/ the spring & summer coming up, I like the reddish-orange color one.


I did see a gathered at Macys on Saturday and I didn't think worms either until someone said it. Bad Butterlit! I kind of like the color for Spring too.
 
If you love color, go with the red. Get the one you're excited about.
Black is practical but don't get it if it is just something you just :smile1:"think you can live with!"


Seeing a pattern! I think you guys like the red and I think I really do too. Now if Coach would make a red gathered leather Minetta they could save me the therapy.
 
The pintuck is really nice in person, especially in the love red. I almost got my hobo in the red pintuck but the husband is convinced it looks like testicles in that specific style of bag (and now that I think about it I kind of agree) so I passed and went plain. In the Minetta though it's perfect!

To me the twisted feels like plastic in person and looks cheap.

Go with the red!!


OMG! Now I have THAT pic in my head. I have to agree the gathered wasn't as nice in person as I thought it should be and everyone has commented and pulled out from my comments that the black is more of a compromise than the red one is to me so I think I'm going RED!


Thanks for the help everyone! (And for saving me $30) You guys rock!
 
This is so true and great advice. I didn't realize I said that. This is why I l love you guys. Every bag does come in black so there will always be another one to love but I did really prefer the gathered leather until someone decided to ruin it for me (Butterlite :p)

I think lately I have been leaning towards the red but I keep going back and forth because I prefer the look of the gathered but like the spunky color of the pintuck. And I think I just may be feeling like a spunky chick. :cool:
I do like the Red color...but I prefer the twisted texture! I have a twisted Phoebe and it does not look like worms at all to me! It looks like a basket weave pattern ! Beautiful IMO...if others think it looks likes worms , its the prettiest bunch of worms I ever saw! lol....to each his own opinions!

Thank you! It would be just perfect in gathered red. I always like what I can't have...
 
If you haven't already purchased, my vote is for the red. Love red is almost a coral color, really neutral and can go for three solid seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall). Plus, the Minetta in pintuck is just adorable!

Not yet. Waiting for the elusive FB coupon but I am pretty settled on red. I saw it in another version in that color at Dillards last weekend and I actually like the orange red color and I'm with you on the pintuck. I think its cute although I do like the gathered too.
