That is a beautiful bag!! I tend to stay with neutrals but that pop of color is quite nice. Is it heavy? I like the leather but I sold all my leather bags since they were too heavy (even if I try to do some weight reduction haha)

I'm sad to report that my beloved Neverfull GM DE has significant cracking on the straps and trim after only nine months. It's currently being repaired by LV for free. I am debating what to do with it once it comes back. In the meantime, I need a large tote to fill the void while I wait 6-8 weeks for the repairs to be completed. I purchased this bright coral red ("tangerine") leather "Isabella" tote by Annabel Ingall. The size and shape are comparable to the Neverfull and the leather is really beautiful--supple, thick, and luxurious. The hardware is really lovely, as well. I also like that this is not a bag I'll see everyone and their mother carrying. I would, however, like to get some feedback as to whether you think the color is a bit too loud given the large size of the bag? I personally adore the color, but the SA at Bloomies made me a little paranoid, as she was actively trying to talk me out of it in favor of a neutral gray shade. The vibrant red color makes me so happy when I look at it--am I crazy lol? I wear a lot of black, white, and gray, so I like to add color with my accessories.

Love it! I almost didn't purchase a Burberry jacket (bright red) once because the SA told me it was too big on me. My friend said to me "don't let her talk you out of something you will love!" Boy am I glad I listened to my friend. I love that jacket. Lessons learned - SA's are not the last word. :-) You did GREAT with that bag.

It's not heavy, imho. It's a bit heavier than my Neverfull GM, but it's lighter than my Rebecca Minkoff large MAB tote and a LOT lighter than my old M by MJ Francesca tote. Hth!

It's a lovely color, and if you love it, that's all that matters.

But, I disagree about the weight. I had one and gave it to my mom because it was too heavy for me even empty. I think it's quite a bit heavier than my LV NF GM.
