Any of you ladies have the tan/camel AND the warm grey Borough? Which one is a better neutral? Which one goes with more? :graucho: TIA!

Chime in even if you don't have both. I'm trying to make up my mind. :p

Hi! I bought both the camel and warm grey B because I think both colors are beautiful. However I found that this size is a little big for me so I returned the camel B (only because I had already cut the tag off the warm grey). I kind of see the grey as a lighter version of black and camel as a lighter version of brown so using that analogy, I think the warm grey will be a slightly better neutral. But I think you can't go wrong with either color. I really like both colors. good luck deciding and let us know what you decide.

IMO, I think warm grey works well with all colors of the rainbow and more.
It has both warm and cool tones in bag color so it goes well also with pinks, purples and blues better than a tan would look, imo.
The grey can dress up better also.
I have the colorblock Borough in warm grey and white and also have the soft borough in tan color.
I use my grey one way more than the tan, even though I prefer tan or brown color bags.

I have the camel. I think it's a nice neutral year-round color. And it seems to be holding up fairly well. With that smooth leather and the fairly light color, I baby it more than my other bags but I've found that small blemishes seem to blend in when I use some Apple moisturizer/cleaner on them.

Thanks ladies. I've talked my self in and out of this bag (tan) several times. I've even bought it before and returned it. (I could not deal with the weak magnet- which made me realize I would only like it with the zippers.) I remember thinking how stunning the tan looked against the SA's black outfit.

letstalkbags, You read my thoughts -I'm thinking the warm grey dresses up better than the camel. But then I look at pictures of the tan and change my mind. Maybe I just have to see both together. I feel like I might lean more towards the grey while at the same time thinking I will regret returning the tan. :huh::panic::shrugs:

I'm probably over thinking this especially since I gravitate more to color than neutrals. Still, the Borough is the perfect bag to have in a neutral color. :upsidedown:

Thanks for this info. I have two other Boroughs i the smooth leather and wondered how to deal with the scratches. Very helpful!

I take back the " tan doesn't dress-up as good as grey" . Here are two pictures from celebrities coach thread on tpf that I put side by side for you.
I love the way the camel looks with that black outfit, so if you love the tan, go for this camel with zippers . I hope this helps .:smile1:

If the camel and warm grey B is too big for you, then the swagger carryall size would be too big too. I think those are similar in size.

Thanks, PBNJAM. That's what I was afraid of. I think on paper, the swagger is an inch shorter in width or length. I love the periwinkle color so much and really want it to work. Aaagh!

You're welcome! They should make more colors of Swagger 27 size. I also want the periwinkle Buster folio but I don't think that is available.

I agree...LOVE how the Tan looks! Nice comparison picture...I got the Tan Grommet Borough via charge send and love the look :smile1:. As much as I like/want a gray bag, they don't seem to do anything for me personally. I love the look on other people but the color just doesn't work for me (or my complexion, LOL).
