RED! RED! RED! Please Show PICS Of Your RED Bags!!!

[RuedeNesle]

Hello ladies,,
Ladies- I need your help. I bought a large Saint Laurent sac de jour in red about 1.5 yrs ago and I think I had carried in maybe 3 times. Resale to yoogis is very low and I always thought red bags were a nice pop of color but I wear a lot of jewel tones and it never feels like the red goes or if it does, it is 1 outfit and I am not into changing my bags daily. Do you only wear yours on limited occasions or do you wear it even when the color doesn't go with your outfit?

Hi Lincon12,
Red is my black. I carry a red bag with whatever I'm wearing, but like NateSelwyn25 I don't wear a lot of bright colored clothes. But I have caught my reflection in mirrors wearing something brighter than some would probably wear with a red bag. I only have two black bags. One is a very small special occasion bag, and the other is a big, heavy Dolce & Gabbana shopper (also with low resale value) that I bought on an impulse in 2008 and carried for about a month before I went back to my red bags.

I use my red bags all of the time. I wear blacks, blues, grays, pinks, almost every color with red bags.

Me too -- I have a beautiful red tote from @southernbelle43 that I take to work almost every day. I have found that there are very few outfits red doesn't go with. I carry a different color bag when I wear purples (I wear a lot of bright orchid colors) or certain shades of brown, in which case I have the same tote in an orchid color

I like red with purple.

I like red with purple.

I just need an excuse to carry my purple bag on those days!

A Radley picture bag with a holiday scene. This was from a couple of years ago celebrating Chinese New Year for the Year of the Dog in the Chinese calendar.

This is adorable!

My goatskin Mulberry Bayswater was a surprise gift from my husband. It's about 5 years old now. It's heavy but looks great for work, and is very durable. Not a scratch and no colour fading at all.


My latest purchase is also a red bag, but in a much darker shade of red, a Soulmate Midi from Massaccesi.

My red Roberta Pieri bag
Love Italian stitches. Light, not too expensive, nice alternative nylon + leather bags from Longchamp ( I have one too).
If you ask personalise immediately after buying from the website, they insert a couple letters free on leather hangtag ;p

What a cheerful bag!
I had never heard of the brand. I just visited their site and the Roberta is definitely on my wish list.

Can I class her as a kind of red?

^ I think burgundy counts just fine.

Updated collection: Proenza Schouler PS1 lambskin. No idea of the proper color name as I bought it pre-owned and very inexpensive. Coach dark red patent, I think this one was called Willis? $20 Goodwill find. Next is the Launer Royale in red patent. Number 4 is my Elizabeth Arden train case. Coach Cassie bi-color, a sort of raspberry red with pink accents on row 2, a Kate Spade model whose name I forgot but was my first red handbag ever, my amazing Frank Clegg briefcase/messenger, my newest addition the Coach Grace 20 on the bottom and a very old, very loved 70s Coach crossbody.
