Which color to keep?

I ordered the cooper shoulder bag in sage and cadet, and I’m actually about surprised by how much I like the bag. Sadly, I can’t keep both though. Any opinions and which one to keep? The sage photographed slightly brighter than real life and the cadet photographed a bit darker.
Sage is very unique color and I doubt you have anything like it. You probably have a navy bag. If not, maybe see which is more closet friendly and go with that. I'm great help, see? :biggrin:

You’re right, I don’t have anything like it. I have the rogue in Prussian Blue which is similar, but different enough that I could justify the cadet if I wanted to. :lol: Really, I can justify anything if I really want to! I never try to match or coordinate my bags to my clothes so going with the closet friendly option never helps me.

I really like this bag, but none of the colors offered in this style appealed to me. I wish they made this in a chestnut brown or saddle. I would have bought it at full price... it reminds me of a leather bound book, and brown is really the only color I would want it to be!
My personal opinion of course. But between the two, I would go for the darker color. The sage is nice, but I can see it getting marks on it pretty quickly.
 
I have both as well and get so many compliments on sage. Just a really unique and pretty color. I love cadet too because it's such a rich color. Do you have a hardware preference?
 
Both are nice colours - you could look at your current handbag collection and pick the colour that you don't have e.g. if it is mainly dark bags, you should go for the sage to add variety to your collection!
 
When trying to decide between 2 where I can only keep one, I look at them side by side and think ok which one? And make a quick decision without thinking. I tend to always have a preference and it comes out when making the quick decision. Your eye and mind just tend to go towards it. When I’m torn it’s usually because I really like one but it’s close to something I already have so I feel like the right decision is to keep the other even though my heart wants the one that is a duplicate lol

With that being said, I love the Cadet!
