Any thoughts on this style?? Dated looking? Would you use it for every day, or not? Thanks!

I personally love the color-block styles. I just bought one in navy and wine leather. This above comes in a blue-forward tone as well, but I prefer this one
I always liked the color-blocking on Bazars as well. There was a cool toned version with a bright chartreuse in it, if I can ever find that again in smaller size (XS or XXS), I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.
I don’t know what it is… I just love this one. Kind of Retro mid century looking to me 
But then I think there’s probably other things I want that I would use more. My husband thinks it’s hideous… but what does he know
So just thought I would get some opinions here

Chartreuse? I'm not sure I've seen it, what other colours?
Depends on the bag and the price. If it's a bag that's rare or one that I've wanted and had a hard time finding, I'd consider getting the handles redone. If they're minimally darkened and the price is right, I'd probably be OK. Otherwise I personally don't care for the look of darkened handles. Some people wrap them with twillies but it's not a look I care for.
For me it usually is, if it's a lighter bag. On darker bags it doesn't bother me too much. Some bags have slightly "warmed" handles, and I can sometimes tolerate those too. But on a lighter or bright pop of color bag, I won't buy if the handles are dark, even if that's the only thing wrong with the bag.
Maybe it's more of a highlighter yellow. I haven't actually seen it in person to confirm, but it's pretty nonetheless.
Here's the combo:
Here's one but it looks like it was ridden hard and put away wet...

Good to know, I was worried I was being overly picky, or was unaware of some super secret method to get rid of the darkening. I think more than anything it icks me out having such a reminder of the embedded oil from someone else's hands (sorry for the visual :/)
Generally curious, do you guys have any thoughts on this bag? I think it is interesting, except I hate how I can never get a good sense of scale from TRR's pictures - it could be a normal sized satchel, it could be a duffle:

Sorry for the double post, but I always get a kick out of the polite Japanese way of describing a beat to hell bag as "with a feeling of use".
13.25 w x 9.75 h x 4.5 d. I'm thinking maybe big enough for a work bag, but a little too big for a running around weekend bag?
