[...] my first noble attempt – more a proof of concept, really – originally an attempt to make a bag to match my red coat. Alas, I do not find this to be a suitable match (not the shape I was looking for, really), but I [...]

You could go neutral with a touch of color on the outside and then use a happy print inside. That’s what I usually like to do if the exterior is more solid than printed.

Thinking that it's a winter coat, how about a laminated plastic fabric so it won't absorb the wet, maybe something recycled like sweet papers, or drink cans. BTW I love the coat, just the style I'd like to have a go at, I saw a lovely pattern in an old Bernina magazine, maybe I'll have a go at it for Spring. sharons last blog post..Birthday weekend

Kristine and Kim – those two bags are both cute! I especially like the flower on the little clutchy one. I’m also leaning towards neutral. Gray, maybe… We’ll see. I’m experimenting with some grommets today. Maybe that will end up being a bag for this coat, even if it’s not that exciting…

Perhaps something in more neutral colors, maybe black & white, or gray? I envision big buttons to go with the winter coat theme.

Here’s one I’ve been eying on etsy, which is not as big as what you want, but the right colors and too adorable not to plug:

Cute bag Kristine! I was just looking at Amy Butler as well and I am thinking these two might look good;

I love the coat. Too bad I can’t justify buying clothing like that here in CA haha.

The Earth and Sky colors from AB’s Belle collection might work well. Some sort of teal color would probably work well with the coat.

Bag style, maybe something like this?
