i have both of the bags and i love them both... it's hard to decide here hehe! but remember the barrel bag has short handles, so you can't use it has a shoulder bag.... the pouchette otherwise could worn both ways, on your shoulder and hold it with ur hands

maybe you should think of what kind of way you like to carry your bag and decide

Wondering, do the classic Lady Dior totes ever go on sale or are they ever available at the outlets?

Woodburry said they have some hobos that are similar, but as long as it's still in boutiques, they won't get it in.

thanks for your help hinotori. the SA sent me a pic of both bags side by side and measurements but you pose a good point. i was leaning more toward the barrel because its cute and different, the other style seems very common but i do like to wear my bag both ways. now i'm more undecided. which one do you prefer? according to the measurements they're not that big of a difference in size.

hi! i tried to capture pics of my two bags, however my bags are in different colors, but they are in the same size you want to get. These pics are to compare their sizes, hope it can help you decide!

hinotori · May 21st, 2009, 04:52 AM

here is my barrel bag... i tried to show you how much there could fit in the bag... quite a bit and there is still some room left

i think this bag is so pretty and unique.. you will definitely stand out with the pretty bag with the cute heart lock and key!

hinotori · May 21st, 2009, 04:58 AM

ok now onto the pouchette bag. as you can see i tried to fit in the same stuff as i put into the barrel bag, but the pouchette bag is a bit smaller and you can see it's full already. so no more space for other things. but it is also a very cute bag, the bow is super cute!

hinotori · May 21st, 2009, 05:05 AM

ok i hope i could helped you a bit with my pictures! it is a bit difficult to make a decision between 2 fabulous bags!

i think the barrel bag is the most unique out of the two and it is roomier than the pouchette, the only con would be that you can't use it as a shoulder bag.

the pouchette bag is very cute, but the bag gets full pretty quickly. you can wear this bag both ways, so that's a pro.

so i think you must consider what you really want now... although the barrel bag is a bit more expensive, i think it's worth it because it is more unique than the pouchette bag and it's roomier. however i don't know how much stuff you usually like to carry around

remember the pouchette is a bit smaller, so u have to keep that in mind that you can't fit in too big/many things in it..

ok let us know which decision you finally made adelmun1!

good luck!

Just an FYI in case anyone is looking, my friend and I both were going to pre-sale a gaucho tote (one white, one black), but just let them go. They're a great deal ($617 including tax and shipping), so hopefully someone will take advantage! Our SA was Laura.
