Little Red Bag

Little Red Bag

What could be sweeter than a little red corvette bag?

Red has always been a tricky one for me to wear. Whether it’s clothes or accessories, I’ve never felt drawn to wearing it beyond some socks (which are a bit kooky when you think about it). Maybe it’s because of its attention grabbing nature? I mean, women don’t wear red lipstick to get un-noticed….

But when I saw this Mark Cross bag, well, that all went down the drain. I swooned. You know, one of those “Oh myyyyyyyyy, look at that little bag! It’s PURRfect” sort of moments. It’s just the right size, it even has this slight curve on the side so it can rest against the body, which has always been a deterrent for me with similar types of structured bags (they just… bop up and down against your side, which really isn’t becoming when you’re strutting down Lafayette Street). The removable cross body strap is an extra bonus – making it the perfect size to take out somewhere nice using just the top handle!

Do you have any bold-colored bags? Or do you stick more to everyday neutrals?

Bag, Mark Cross.

  • why oh why did you let me fall in love with that amazing bag without warning me it costs $2000+ ???

    If a big stack of money falls in my lap, that will be my first purchase!

  • Karen – I knowwwww, I KNOW how painful it is…. I wish you a big stack of money… for everyone actually! x

  • Pour moi les classiques ou le sobre signifient la tristesse ou le commun, j’ai besoin de couleurs vives qui signifient la joie de vivre pour moi, alors j’ai des sacs de couleurs vives :D

  • Ce sac est super beau … j’adore la forme, j’en ai rarement vu des comme ça. Et je pense qu’il serait chouette même en noir ou en camel ! Vraiment super cette trouvaille !

  • A camel color would be SO lovely! :)

  • Moi j’aime bien les sacs de couleurs. Celui-ci est particulièrement beau!

  • I do love a good red bag and red shoes. Nobody should play it too safe and color red is the way to do it tastefully.

    I did hunt down a red bag for years.

    Made this pinterest board on red bags : https://www.pinterest.com/archanapaladugu/red-handbags/

    And finally found my bag. A stella McCartney. Here : http://touniversewithlove.com/2014/10/15/it-came-home-a-red-evening-bag/

    Absolutely helps my outfits.

    this one looks like vintage Louis Vuitton red bags I saw when searching for mine, especially the clasp.

    Love red bags. I bought a small red woven clutch a few years back and wish I could wear it everyday. I typically buy neutral colour bags but I think red can be a great neutral.
    My new favorite given as a gift is a canvas Michael Kors bag in a vermillion colour.

    Adorable, ce sac ! suis fan des minis sacs rouges, je trouve la couleur moins appropriée sur un grand sac, que je préfère plus neutre…mais 2495 dollars ! C’est ahurissant ! 2 mois de smic français pour sentir son sac épouser parfaitement la ligne de sa hanche! Pas de jugement, simplement, en vieillissant, je n’arrive plus à cautionner des aberrations pareilles. Je me sens affreusement rabat-joie, d’un coup…

    Red IS an everyday neutral! It looks great with browns and earth tones, deeper greens or pea green (just not Christmas-tree green), yellow, all shades of blue, and, of course, black and white (together or separately). Awesome with almost any kind of tweed or denim. And with marinier stripes, too!

    J’aime de plus en plus les sacs de couleur vive: un beau jaune soleil pour cet été, un magnifique Paschli (soldé) orange pour l’hiver dernier, que je me réjouis de retrouver cet automne; j’ai vu un beau Billy L en veau rouge soldé également et je crois que je vais craquer. Un cross bag Natacha petit modèle turquoise, bref de la couleur, de la couleur et encore de la couleur.
    A mon âge – 57 ans – je me permets de plus en plus de choses – c’est le moment ou jamais.
    Belle soirée

  • I love bright colored bags, especially red. But I never buy little ones. Not that I never fall in love with any. But I know they won’t get worn since I like to carry a million things with me. So… I only wear big bags.

    perso j’adooore les sacs de couleur! mais j’ai fait récemment un tri drastique donc j’en ai conservé un jaune (Elly de chez Bally), un bordeaux (le pagodon de chez Kenzo) et un vert menthe (encore un vieux Kenzo).
    Après il y a bien quelques pochettes, un cabas marine de chez CaBas (!) et roule!
    C’est comme les manteaux, j’aime pas le triste… donc un rouge, un blanc, un marron chiné et un gris que je réveille donc avec un joli sac coloré. C’est tellement triste tous ces gens en noir! et puis en plus les couleurs, ça solde bien, non ? :)

  • J’adore le rouge! c’est devenu ma signature :)
    J’aime beaucoup les accessoires de couleur, ça réveille un look parisien bleu marine/noir/gris. Et c’est très facile à porter: un long foulard en soie à pois pastels dolce vita, un sac cartable orange ou framboise, des repettos rouge vif…

    This bag is extra cute!

    Ce sac est absolument adorable mais le prix est un peu exagéré. Est ce bien raisonnable de mettre en avant des produits aux prix affolants ? Et une question de petite curieuse : avez-vous les moyens de vous l’offrir ?

  • This bag is cuteness overload! Thank you for sharing!

  • C’est vrai ça, il est juste parfait ce sac !! Peut-être pas super pratique, mais on s’en fout quand c’est aussi beau, non ?

  • I have a real fondness for orange bags…. I would never wear orange (olive skin and orange…. a no go) and have nothing else orange anywhere in my house… but a neat orange sling or spacious bucket bag, when I am wearing all black, is my win win happy accessory.
