Ok so I have a decision to make! I found a large fuschia Selma with silver hardware at Macy's today and it was only 183 (tax included!!!). I snatched it up because they only had one with silver hardware. Well now I have to decide whether to keep it or my unused medium mandarin. I got the mandarin last month for roughly the same price. I love both colors but I won't use both, especially since I already have a sapphire sutton. I am leaning towards fuschia because I think it might be more versatile all year but I love mandarin so much too! Help me choose!

Oh my gosh! Such a hard decision. Both are gorgeous colors! Don't you still have a mandarin Bedford cross-body bag or something like that? If so, I'd keep the fuschia Selma.

Both are beautiful. However, the fuchsia is just gorgeous. I would keep it.....:smile1:

I do, but I'm actually selling that one because I've only carried it a handful of times. It's a gorgeous bag but a bit too slouchy for me. Once you go structured it's hard to go back!!

I would go with fuschia because I think it's a color you can wear all seasons. Mandarin is more spring & summer.
 
Ladies, is it possible that Selma has SIX stiches under the handles??
It depends what year and country your bag was made in. Not every bag is identical, even if it is the same style. There are often variations from year to year and depending what country it is manufactured in. We have seen quilted Selmas with more than four stitches under the handles. Here is one from Nordstroms. They absolutely do not sell fakes. As you can see, it has more than four stitches under the handles. We have evaluated your bag on the authenticity thread. You can check for more information there.
Here is the link to the quilted Selma at Nordstroms.

That's a tough one because that mandarin really pops you tan, big time! Looks great! I am not so sure that mandarin can't be worn all seasons? It would look awesome with browns and blacks in the fall. I don't see any reason you couldn't wear it most of the year? I'll be the odd one and go for the mandarin, but both are great colors.

I would wear my mandarin jet set all year. I'm not letting anyone dictate my ability to carry my bags lol.
 
LOVE this!! You have great style! I'm the exact same way; I used to only buy neutrals and now I'm obsessed with color! I own one black bag that's not designer, and I only keep it in case I need black. I hardly carry it. I think pearl grey and dark dune are so much more fun for neutrals!
Thank you!! Black is too boring for me...bag wise because I usually dress is pretty neutral colors, so a nice color bag to make the outfit pop is the best!

Guess I waited too long to purchase the mandarin selma at Macy's...because now it's sold out :( I should have purchased it as soon as I saw it! $150 is too good of a deal to pass up, but I was too late:(

Personally the fuschia. I think it goes with anything and across the seasons as well. I haven't seen the mandarin IRL but I am think pink is more versatile.

Depends what you want to put in it size wise. I use my large selma's for work, but my medium Selma at weekends.

Jealous sapphire sutton, lovely lovely bag and colour.

Dare I say keep both lol such different colours and sizes.
 
I wear my medium fuchsia with almost every outfit!

I don't think I know how to upload a picture...so I'll just leave a link of a pic of my outfit!

Recently saw the medium in mandarin on sale at Macy's and I'm really tempted to get it! I used to love black bags, but now I love bolder colors like fuchsia and the mandarin! Don't know if I should...

I wish I knew Macy's was selling the selma in blossom earlier as well =/ I was looking for a nice pink bag for a long time but settled for a pink satchel from The Cambridge Satchel Company :( I should have waited...regrets :(


Love your oufits and that bag is so pretty and like you I find (i have deep pink,) it goes with every outfit casual and smart.

Blossom is such a cute colour, but it must be nice to switch it up a bit with the satchel from cambridge satchels. I love their bags and the lady that started the company had such vision that most seemed to miss. Satchels in bright cheerful colours are much nicer than the previous only available in brown or black which reminds me of school.

I agree with the mandarin for the reasons stated above!! I have a large deep pink Selma (which is a different shade but looks very similar) and a small mandarin sutton, I love the mandarin colour!! I would say I used the deep pink in winter and summer and the mandarin is a lovely bright for summer but I would use the mandarin on a bright winter day, it looks great against black (I'm getting a black winter coat this year so I can use my bright bags more). I also prefer my medium Selma's, I'm only 5'1 and I think the large is too bulky (I have a NS red croc Dillon which doesn't seem too big but the large selma seems more bulky), but all this is personal preference! Don't be swayed by the fact that the larger was almost the same price and just go for the 'bargain'. I've done that once and regretted it, choose the one that makes you smile and feel great when you carry it- that is what mandarin does for me!
