Red Bags for Spring: Reader vote!

I need a new spring bag. I've got a fantastic collection of Coach bags from back when Shopping Friend worked there, but now I want to try some other brands. And for spring this year, I want red. A killer red bag.

This is a big change for me; I rarely even wear red at all, as you may have noticed. But I think that's what will make it work -- the red will be complementary to all the other colors I do wear (yellows, purples, teals, and lots of neutrals and blacks), plus it will go great with my new trenches. Check them out below!



This one is the earth-grey one; it's a slippery material, like a parachute. I'm wearing it casually here, but it's been a great one this week for work while it's been rainy/cloudy.

The other one I got hasn't been worn yet, but it should be this week. We've really turned the corner into warmer weather now, and both trenches should be getting a workout.



A red bag would go great with these, right?

This Cole Haan Marrow hobo was the first one at Zappos that caught my eye. I love the woven pattern of the leather.

I have coveted Kate Spade bags for a while now. Classic, elegant, fire engine red. And on sale at Zappos. What's not to love?

This Lucky Brand Joshua Tree hobo is a little more casual, but the darker red is more in my wheelhouse. And the price is more reasonable than the first two.

This one is just fun -- it's made out of seatbelts! Haha!

No? What about in a black-and-white houndstooth pattern?

Admit it, you kind of want a seatbelt bag now, don't you? :)

ANYWAY. Back to my red bag dilemma. Which would you pick -- for me? What about for you?
