I actually think the yellow makes the bag. I love the conservative houndstooth and brown with that pop of color. I think you should keep it, mostly because it strikes me as very much your style--you tend to like bold and graphic things, and you can carry them off well... so I say keep!

i wish that panel was electric blue or hot pink. then i'd openly embrace the bag and rock the crap out of it.


i am seeing neon post-it (and i just see entirely too many of those these days) when i see that color...but if it's more limey IRL then i think it could be really cool.


got any IRL pics?

I took pictures in different lighting so you can see the full spectrum of it's neonliciousness...


taken without flash or direct daylight:

after seeing the IRL pics, I think even more that the neon yellow is not that bad. it's actually cute, makes the whole thing special
(but I have to admit, the way it looks with the flash is funny )

that's why I posted the different lighting pics - it really looks different in different lights due to the reflective nature of that color.  I'm really leaning toward keeping it -- everytime I handle it I'm reminded of how beautifully made and high quality it is... it's funny how many validating posts there are, and the poll is indicating to send it back

It's kind of growing on me ..I like the texture that i coulndn't see with the first photo. It helps to dull-down the neon a bit.

Yup, I think I like it now.

yeah, it's supposed to be lizard. I don't know what kind of lizard, but lizard (now I feel bad after looking at all those alligator bags!) but yes, the texture does help.

I say keep it. You of all people can get away with that bag and make it look great! I think it is a nice bag.

I kind of dig it. And you could totally pull it off.

I was going to say no...yellow must be one of my *least* favorite colors...but the IRL pics make it a keeper. I agree with the posts that say you can carry it off. ~sits back to wait for TS posts with this bag~ :)

I actually really like that bag! I think it's a cool "statement" piece...and it's actually kind of refreshing, if that makes any sense!

I like it, and I don't mind the neon. The European streetstyle threads over at tFS, especially London have a lot of neon, and everyone over there is predicting neon as a big trend, so I think you are on the mark when you say you might be ahead of the curve with the neon.
