Orange Bag Owners, Are you getting a lot of "Autumn/Halloween" Comments?

[bagluv]

Ever since the start of October I have been asked by strangers where have I found such a perfect Autumn orange bag and did I do it on purpose! Even the butcher today admired the color and said what a great Halloween bag it was. I find this to be all so cute and fun....anyone else with orange getting the same feedback?

CPL ~ Your Birkin Is Just Dreamy I Don't Have Orange Or Poitron Either...I Would Love It. I Think It's A Definite All Year Around Bag.....Totally Makes A Summer Statement As Well!

I Very Much Enjoy Reading About Different Traditions ~ I Hearing The Different (& Some Very Same) Ways We Celebrate Or Rejoice In Things.

I Wear My Clothes More Around What I For That Season Or Time Of The Year. Not So Much Holidays......For Example, For The Jewish High Holidays....We Are Always Very Dressed Up For Synagogue & Time Spent With The Ones We Love....No Special Color (Well, Maybe Black For Slimming).

I have a forest green Kelly. Around Xmas I sometimes tie a red H pouchette on it.
I am a fool for Nèige d'Antan. Even wear the cotton Nèige in the summer.
For Thanksgiving, I have several Texas Flora and Fauna, although only I know the turkey is there, the way I fold them.

That Sounds Gorgeous

I love the orange bag as well (it has been at the top of my often-changing dream list recently). I love both orange and potiron. Do people think that H orange is a more versatile and all-year color? Is potiron a fall/winter color only?

Your orange bag is gorgeous! I bet it looks great with jeans, linen, khaki, etc etc

Can't really comment about orange bags as I don't have any, I'm a neutral kinda girl.

Cynthia, some of your posts are so funny, I'm laughing so hard, I have tears in my eyes!

Golconda, thanksgiving is so special, I have a turkey scarf as well in fall colors, dusty orange & olive green.

The first bag my DH gave me was an Prada pumpkin suede satchel, and since I was such a earth tones kind of gal (I swore off black after moving out of NYC as my closet was so dark it looked like a black hole when you opened it) and it got compliments left and right! I still very much love it, I just had the suede cleaned and I plan on wearing it - especially around him - very soon.

Since then my highlights have taken over, and black is starting to look pretty good to me again, but I still wouldn't hesitate for a minute if I saw the right orange H bag. It IS the perfect fall bag... as if your bag changed along with the leaves

my kids call (35 potiron birkin) it the "pumpkin" bag....the potiron really is that perfect shade of autumn, isn't it?

Love the Hermes Orange 35cm Birkin. I have admired CPL avatar since she got her 40cm.
Would love to have an H Orange Birkin. I would not worry about the color mix of orange & black. I am not a fan of halloween so -have thought this over the past few days and decided I would enjoy carrying my bag and not think about it.

I LOVE orange birkins... but I tend to wear a lot of black so the orange bag would not be a good option for me ....
I remember reading somewhere here a while back that sombody was getting teased about her orange togo, saying that it looked like a basketball...go figure.

Halloween is not big here in where I am too. Nope, I've never gotta that before. Even if I have, I would say this is the corporate colour. Duh.

BTW, I just sighted a lady in black carrying an Orange kelly this afternoon.

 

[Coldplaylover]

That was me with the basketball tease! I hushed that person up real fast...they were just giving me a hard time since they saw how obsessed I am with my birkin! I love reading everyone's comments, thanks

 

[Sophiekins]

^ No WAY....
That one really stuck in my mind... I would have smacked them w/ that 40cm!
But like you said ..it's really all in fun, the teasing I mean...

I do have orange Kelly bag and I don't think it is just seasonal color for Oct. Actually I wear very casually for everyday working and Orange looks very good with casual look. I think it would look yummy in summer here in California. I love the orange birkin in your Avatar.

While I absolutely ADORE Orange Birkins, one of the main reasons I no longer own one is that I often dress in black, black and white, or um, well--a lot of black. I got sick of this jackass in my old building calling me The Great Pumpkin when I carried my orange bag.

Normally I am not one to succumb at all to peer pressure, believe me, but it cheesed me off so much that it made me paranoid to carry an orange bag when I was wearing any black at all. Since I rarely wear any outfit that has no black, the bag had to go. If I wore more camels and tans or really ANY other colors it would have been fine, I think.

So, if nothing else, you can tell your "critics" that they're not at all original, because my jackass neighbor was saying that crap like 6 years ago. LOLOL!!!


BTW a couple of years later I did buy an orange Tods bag, and to this day I will only wear it with "earth tones". The only comments I have gotten on that bag have been complimentary of its unusual color, or people saying that it was perfect for fall. So, at least for me, it was the black & orange combo that bothered ME (and my jackass ex-neighbor, LOL).

CynthiaNYC...I always look forward to reading your post...as I find you very amusing and down to earth...your sense of humor is MINE!!! MINE!! MINE!! MINE!! You tell it like it is in a humoristic yet effective way...I just came across this posting of yours from way back before I joined the forum and I am cracking up...Thanks for the insight and the entertainment! Keep them coming...it brightens our day!
