Valextra Iside Which Colour - Help Me Decide! 🙏🏻

Hi all,

I seldom do stuff like this simply because handbags are such a personal thing, it seems ridiculous to try and get a public opinion on which one to purchase.

But I am well and truly stuck this time over whether to get the Valextra Iside in Micro in Papavero or Cipria (see attached photos for colours).

I have a case for wanting either colour.

Cipria: I have a thing for powder nudes in general and plan to pair this colour either with my girlier outfits or with dark neutrals for a softer contrast. The problem is that in the micro, I fear the light colour might look a little lost.

Papavero: I love bright coral oranges and intend to use this as a pop-of-colour to liven up neutral outfits or to create a colourblock look, which I am very fond of. The micro size is also perfect for showing off the pop of colour - although my pairing options could be limited.

Can anyone kindly weigh in on this? Your advice/opinion will be very much appreciated!

NB: I have checked out both Mini and Micro options and decided to go with the latter. While the Mini is a wonderfully versatile size, I feel it looks a tad formal given the shape and design. The Micro size, on the other hand, is adorable and not too small on my 156cm (5 ft 2) frame.

Thanks everybody, for taking the time to do this. Seems like Papavero is the overwhelming favourite here! 😍

I will probably head down to the shops once I’ve recovered from my second case of Covid to check out the actual colour of the bag. I have seen the Cipria in person, but not the Papavero.

Unfortunately, there are no Valextra stores where I am based; only a multibrand store that carries its products. Fortuitously, they have an Iside belt bag in the Papavero colourway, so I can at least make sure the colour appears the same as the photos.

Will update!
