THIS bag Vs. THAT bag

[kentucky*derby]

I'm between buying one of these two handbags:
Vanessa Bruno Large Pocket Bag
OR

Jil Sander Buffalo Leather bag

I also vote Jil Sander, but would the metal handle dig into your shoulder? Or is it not meant to be a shoulder bag?


aris: I'm trying to downsize my purse, so it's the right size.

Dali: My coat is in this exact cut but the fabric is a brown tweed. The brown & gray just don't go IMO.

kentucky*derby, i think you should get the PS1 again. it is such a fantastic bag, or if you don't like the grey get the black or tobacco.

kentucky*derby, I vote the Hermes Medor..it's classic and timeless and the punky hardware never ceases to fascinate me.

kentucky*derby, The decision is so hard.. one is for day and the other is more for night. If I was shopping and I had to pick just one...my vote hands down is for that stunning PS1! That bag is so amazing The Hermes Medor is also pretty sweet.

 

[kentucky*derby]

I'm leaning towards the Medor.

Thanks everyone!

 

[kentucky*derby]

^NM that. The 23cm Medor does not come in gray, so PS1 it is!

I can't decide which red bag & would love opinions....

I own one of the bags already & was going to sell it. I've received an offer, but am now having seller's remorse (isn't that how it always goes ?) I have not accepted the offer yet.

So, I was thinking that I want/need another red bag. But now I can't decide between the two.

#1 Chanel Jumbo - Red Caviar OR #2 Balenciaga City - Rouge Theatre?

If you want to elaborate with more than just a #1 or #2 that would be greatly appreciated!

^ I'd say the Chanel because it's a classic and seems more versatile than the Balenciaga. You can wear it with casual outfits or to something more formal. I do have to admit the B-bag's color is gorgeous, though...

 

[mkforever]

This is a hard one. Both bags are gorgeous and very different styles. IMO the Chanel is more classic but I don't know if it is a rare find (I don't know much about Chanel). However, the Rouge Theatre is a very rare Balenciaga find especially if it is in excellent condition. I know a ton of girls whose HG bag is that very same bbag Personally I'd go with the Chanel since I don't have a Chanel yet and also because I have a Tomato City with gorgeous leather already

Thanks MichelleYue & mkforever! I own & love both Chanel & Balenciaga which is why this is such a tough decision.

The B-bag is mine & it's brand new/never been used. I love the color & leather from 2005. I also love how vibrant the Chanel red is in comparison. They are so different.

I could almost justify having both because they are so different. lol

 

[goldlion]

i really like the chanel because its more classic but the shade of red on the balenciaga is gorgeous.

 

[lovepink87]

its a hard choice both are really lovely bags. The balenciaga will fit much more and has a deeper red color that I love, but the chanel is more classic. I guess it also depends how you dress most of the time. I would go with the balenciaga just based on the color and size.

 

[hautechild]

While I prefer the style of the Chanel, I think if you already own a similar Chanel go with the Balenciaga because I like the colour of it much more.

def - Chanel Jumbo - Red Caviar IS A KEEPER

 

[PrincessImp.]

Definitely the Jumbo Chanel red caviar! The red Chanel is just amazing, plus it's in caviar which is so much more hardy! What's not to love about this bag?

 

[cloudyblue]

i'v been thinkin too what my next bag will be, chanel flap or bbag..and i'd go for chanel..it's more classic and i can hardly waitt to grab one of it..

 

[Lamia]

Chanel all the way!

 

[papillon]

Thank you all so much for your input!

I am still undecided between the two & really, really wish that I could swing both right now.

I am going to hang onto the B-bag for now because I'm already having seller's remorse before it's sold & it would probably get worse once it's gone. If the Chanel is still available in a few months then maybe I'll get it at that time....that is, if I haven't already moved onto something else . It sure is pretty though.

 

[stilleto]

hello! can you guys suggest where i can get a large nightingale patent in any pastel color? can't seem to find them online.

 

[Luxx]

I'm off the bag wagon and ready to have some fun . Not sure what my next purchase should be though. Here are the options.

1. YSL Muse 2.0 - not sure which color though.

2. Proenza Shouler PS1 but in Mustard yellow

3. Prada Lace Bowler

Any help is appreciated as always. Or any suggestions even I just want something very fun and upbeat.
