Help me pick a bag :)

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I am impartial to the Vuitton Speedy Damier Azur - its my HG dream bag so I am biased.

I am just worried that not being able to toss it over my shoulder would make it impractical for me??? Not sure though!

exsupahero · Kate Spade

I have the Damier Azur 30 so I'd pick that. If you don't feel like splurging, the saddle bag is really cute too.

Becca · Kate Spade

Love, love the saddle bag! I have the monogram speedy and it gets really heavy and annoying. You could always buy a strap for it though.

wetbandit42 · Marc Jacobs

I have the Andrea Brueckner saddle bag and while I like it, I don't use it very often. The leather is very soft though, and you can fit a ton of stuff in it. I don't think it's a classic bag though (as opposed to a LV bag).

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

I voted for the LV Damier Azur. I am not usually a fan of LV bags, but JacL has that bag and I think it is awesome. I may have to splurge and get one one of these days myself

jettie · Kate Spade

I have the Andrea Brueckner saddle bag. Got it a few years ago and still use it regularly!

Kelly · Hermes

I voted for the saddle bag too. I'm not crazy about those straps hanging off of it, so personally I'd snip them shorter, but overall it's my fave

Yana · Dooney & Bourke

I voted for saddle: more unique, young looking, interesting & long lasting in terms of shape, color, design...I generally liked all your choices, naturally, LV original will serve even after you pass it to your daughter & then granddaughter ( I hope they'd be careful with it:), anyhow, it's just not that unique. Saddle is beautiful. Pricy? ( if I may?)

$425...but I plan to find a coupon code if possible!!! If anyone knows of one!!! I decided to probably get the saddle bag, its the one I keep gawking at ;)

Boots · Gucci

Count me as another vote for the saddle bag.

I find that if I keep looking or thinking about about a certain item, it's usually the right one for me. It sounds like the saddle bag is the one for you.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I like the first one especially if it fits over your shoulder. It is simple yet pretty IMO. I have a Burberry similar to the LV ones and I hate that it doesn't fit over my shoulder. I use it for work but not when I go out shopping or running errands.

member · Hermes

FWIW, the Saddle Bag is pretty heavy IMO.
I have an RM MAM and I love it. It's great quality, you can find one somwhere w/a discount code, and it can be easily carried on the shoulder.
I also love the LV Damier Azur and want one for myself. I also dream of stealing JacL's everytime I see her wink

That's interesting - I find the saddle bag to be one of the lightest bags that I own (but I usually carry one of my Chanel bags, which have heavy chain handles). If you stuff it full, it'll be heavy, but IMO by itself it's pretty light.

kissen - I'm not sure what size saddle bag you want, but fengjunk.com carries them. That's where I bought mine (with a 20% code). retailmenot.com has a selection of codes but I'm not sure they work/are current.

Yah! Thats where I found it and have it bookmarked haha, I won't have the money for another 3 weeks, so hopefully there will be a good code. What size did you get? I like the medium, but have heard the large is better?

wetbandit42 · Marc Jacobs

Kissen - I'm pretty sure that I have the medium, although later I'll try and find the thread where I posted about it when I got it. If the medium is the size I have, I'd say it's plenty big.

Also, I'm pretty sure the code grechen never expires (20% off).

ETA: Yup, I have the medium.
