I love neutral colors so I'm contemplating between the charcoal gray and black (I already have a white 2006 chloe paddington). I'm also very confused if I should get the silver or gold hardware. I know that the gold hardware on the B bags is considered a limited edition because they would stop making them so I am a little partial towards the GH. What color do you think is best to use as an everyday bag? Charcoal gray or black? Giant gold or giant silver hardware? I'm just worried that the gold hardware would one day tarnish and turn black. What do you think? My style of dressing is casual chic. Help! Hi Megs,

It's an ultimate classic but still chic. And I agree with aga - get a large clutch with the leftover that will take you into night. Personally, I don't like taking a big bag out at night - I end up hitting people with it! Definitely go for the LV! It’s an ultimate classic but still chic.

I agree that a classic bag is more worth it. If you've done so much hard work to save up that $2000, why blow it on a uber-trendy "it" bag? I love the Prada and the YSL the best. If your wardrobe is mostly black, then experimenting with colour on your accessories is a good way to go b/c it's not too over-powering. All those picks are just gorgeous!

They are light weight and very elegant, can be worn casual or dressed up! Of course I'm prejudiced as they are my Fav!!!!

I have a few designer bags, Prada, Miu Miu, McQueen, Fendi etc., but I must say I use my bayswater most of the time. It's not avant garde design, it's not a major 'look at me' bag, and I do love my other bags more (style wise), but it is the best bag I own - the quality and durability is just outstanding for that price. I'm sure this workhorse will be with me for a long time (it's indistructable really!). But, having said that, I do love the colour of that Muse! And I really wouldn't suggest getting any Chloe at the moment, they have been having serious quality issues lately - not the best brand to buy, especially if you have had to save up for a while.
