Spring 2018

I don't usually go for patterned bags too, not because I don't like them though. I like vibrant or abstract prints but I do wear prints as well so I find the patterned bags busy on me. If your wardrobe consists of mainly solid colors, I feel these patterned bags add interest to your outfit. I like all 3 of the bags you attached, especially the Roseau tote. The colors go so well together. The LP LE caught my eye too but the pale background color worries me but that's just me.

*TBH, I am still pondering over the mini SH LE that has hearts and horses all over, like wings. I am trying to convince myself that in such a small bag, prints are okay?

I do wear mostly solid colors — usually I use scarves to add pattern and color, but this bag would be for summertime when it’s too hot for a scarf anyway. I have the same concern about the LP LE — the background is so light, it’s just a magnet for dirt and stains. I think the Roseau tote is my favorite of the three, but the red bag keeps drawing me in as well, even though I don’t tend to do red bags.

Re. that LE with the hearts and horses, that one caught my eye too. I don’t love the hearts, but the color combo is really nice. And the pattern is pretty small, so I think it would look great on a small bag.

Re. that LE... I think it would look great on a small bag.

I can see the Roseau tote working well as a summer tote. I had seen the red bag in person, it is very pretty! I think the abstract print makes it versatile.

[emoji6] I like horses and in this bag, they are done in a subtle way. Thank you for adding one more vote to this adorable LE. [emoji4]

Gorgeous Shop It tote and that dragon bag charm goes so well with it.

Thanks so much!

I was wondering what you ladies think of these limited editions this season ... I don’t usually go for patterned bags, but they caught my eye and I am intrigued. Thoughts?

I would go with the Neo which has a simpler pattern and gets straight to the point The first one has a light coloured body and is also a little busy with so many colours. I find the last one also too busy with too many colours and textures as well. HTH

I wouldn't say it's red. It's like an orange-red

Well you know I like the horses and hearts bag. The only reason why I didn't get the SSH is because I wanted an SLH in the new size. It's striking and I like the gloss on the Navy flap. I must get round to using mine after my Shop-It Tote

LOL re the Neo getting “straight to the point!” I’ve been trying to put my finger on why I like this bag when I don’t usually go for red or patterns, but I think you hit on it very well! I don’t tend to like “busy” patterns and this one is definitely more direct. I like the black handles too. Thanks!

Do you mean orange red on the Roseau or the Neo? I meant the Neo.

Yes, the Neo. The Neo is an orange-red, not a red

Yes orange-red. Here are some pics I posted earlier.

Thank you both for clarifying. I will have to try to see it in person. Love that top pick with the strap!

I think @pbnjam owns this so maybe she’ll comment on the color or post an IRL pic.

Apart from horses and hearts, the other reason is because I also wanted it in the new mini SH size. The new wider size means I can have my bag organiser within too. You ladies ( @catsinthebag ) are enablers! [emoji28]

Who, me?

Honestly, I can’t do Longchamp nylon without an organizer!

Yes, you. [emoji6]
The same goes for me. Need an organiser for all my bags (except very small bags of cos). It just saves time fishing for things.
