I''ve been searching for a new handbag..leather preferably..metallic in color, gunmetal or pewter. I know there is a ton of selection in the uS, but I am in Canada. Are there any online vendors that I can purchase from, that will ship here? I already checked qvc (not much there). I like Elliott Lucca and some Tignanello bags..trying to keep it at below $ 220 US. (with shipping and taxes..etc..that will be about $325). Thanks

I really like the platinum color, but it wouldn''t be very practical for me, so I''m hoping to get the black one in the near future.

Good luck, Beau!

Well, only because I''ve been needing a nice black leather bag, so that''s what I''m really "looking for" right now. I really do like the platinum one, though!

It sort of depends on your area, too... Where I live, metallics were ''in'' for everyday bags 5+ years ago, but really NOT anymore. People are still carrying small bags (mostly clutches) in metallics for evening/club, but I don''t see them for day anymore (though I should disclaim that there are certainly pockets groups in which metallics are still fashionable for day, though primarily in hardware and other metal accents rather than metallic leather).

Musey, I think that''s another reason why I would hesitate to get a metallic bag. You don''t really see them around here much at all, and I guess I''d feel a little weird!

Black, on the other hand, is timeless! So I definitely feel safe buying a black bag.

I like black, and brown for fall, and winter. We only have a couple months of the year to wear vibrant colors (coral, turquoise, pinks, with white and cool metals..I love wearing silver and white gold, with a tan, it looks so good against the darker skin! My favourite look is all white, and loads of silver bangles, big silver hoops, and a silver or gunmetal colored handbag, a great summer look! Or change the cool metal, to yellow gold accessories, and a soft gold handbag! The stores here have a ton of metallic shoes, belts, handbags this season. I think for the summer months..a metallic handbag (with my metallic flip flops, mules) is a great change from the drab, dark colors we wear the other 9 months of the year. Before you know it, I'll be trading in the metallic sandals, for the brown or black boots and handbags.

I decided on this grey/silver Coach tote. Not overly bright, with metallic trim. Big enough to house all my junk, and I think it will go with 90% of my summer wardrobe! Thanks for the recs. Can''t wait for it to arrive in a couple days (best thing I was able to get it right here in Canada for a little less than $200, with no extra taxes, duty, custom fees..etc).

I definitely will! It''s shipping out tomorrow, X-press post, so I should have it Thursday, Friday at the latest!
It was hard to find a Coach bag with silver or gunmetal trim, most I seen had gold. I think it will suffice for the 3 months of the year I will use it! I would have preferred leather..but after what I did today with my Coach bag (fabric), I think this is a better option. The water bottle I threw in my bag, didn''t have the cap on properly, and well..you can say everything is a bit soggy right now!! lol

You know it''s funny, there are very few things in life I get nutty over but get me talking about bags and jewelry and watch out!! Haha! I am so glad we have both on ps!
I have a new (to me) MK bag I am eyeing. I keep getting beat on ebay for them but once I get my hands on one, I''ll post pics for ya!

Congrats on your beautiful Coach bag! I LOVE pewter/gunmetal, especially in metallic. I consider grey/dk grey metallic a neutral, like black or tan. IMO it''s not as ''dark'' as a black bag; and it''s not a ''flashy metallic'' like a bright sliver or gold. It can be perfectly understated. It''s perfect for summer too (I wear mine year round, and actually don''t own a black bag!). Burberry & Chanel have gorgeous pewter metallics, it may be possible to score a Burberry deeply discounted at an outlet, or on eBay.
