Default Please help me choose. A or B?
I have been wanting to get a Burberry bag and came across these two which I really like. It is only the difference in colour and I can't decide already. Please could you guys help me vote and state the reason why you choose that particular one?

oooh tough one as they are both really lovely
the darker one is more of a winter bag but more trans-seasonal and the lighter one more summery IMO so whilst I probably prefer the lighter one, the darker one is probably more versatile

and the darker one also I guess less prone to marking etc if you are using it as an everyday bag

Thanks alij78! That was what I was thinking too. To choose the looks or the practicality. I have always gotten bags in dark colours for fear of getting them dirty. But light coloured bags are just so pretty! Lol.

Thanks hollyyih. Hmm, so I have to give up light bags for good then. Don't think I am very good at looking after my bags but I just can't help but think the white one is so so pretty!

By the way, do any one you happen to know if the shoulder strap is detachable? The online website doesn't mention anything about it. The bag can be hand held so I wonder if the strap will dangle or it can be removed.

I would get the light color - option B. Only because it is so pretty

I like the white/light one better. I am not a big fan of the brown/black colors together. But like everyone else said, it won't show the dirt so much and if you aren't always super careful with your everyday bags then you might want to get that one.

Voting for white here!

I like the darker one better and as others have mentioned - more versatile and less likely to get dirty as fast.

The brown one - I worry too much to have a light colored bag.

Thanks for all your opinions guys. I agree totally that the brown one would be much more practical and I won't have to worry about it getting dirty but deep down I keep telling myself the white one is so pretty. Lol. I will get to the shop and have a feel of the bags I guess that's the best way to decide.

I don't like this style in the lighter color; I like it in the darker color. Good luck with your choice!
