Balenciaga Courier/Purse, Want Your Opinions!

[alindamay]

Hey everyone. Do you think a courier would be a good bag for day trips/work/school bag? Or more importantly do you think it will be handle a lot of throwing around/weight or would you just recommend a plain tote? If I get this it's going to have to withstand a beating. Any thoughts? Balenciaga courier or just a plain old bag for every day stuff?

Oh and a side questions. Is the purse the bag with the longest handles (besides day/courier)? Thanks again everyone!!

as long as its in a dark color, I think it will hold up great! Don't overload i with books, though. A few at a time is fine, but no a whole bunch.

I love my Courier -- but I agree its not the "heavy books" bag. However, I love it because I put in a few books, gym clothes, water and on occassion my laptop in its sleeve and it holds everything quite nicely.

I love the purse style, it's a tote with handles that fits great on your shoulder

I don't think the Courier can take a beating so you may want to get another bag. As to over the shoulders, the purse is a very good over the shoulder bag but I don't know about the length of the handles. If you want something over the shoulders, the day may be a better choice considering the way it slouches.

Thanks for your opinions everyone!! They will be taken into great consideration as to whether I will be getting the courier or purse.

welp, i've had both & i don't think the purse would work as a book bag ...i think the courier would be a much better choice for that...but you should also consider the work style too...below's a photo of my grenat work & also the emerald purse i sold

I just don't like bags that have been copied! Every street corner in nyc has the courier and first and city - the only one not copied is day and shrug!

I have seen copies of the Day and the Shrug also -- if we held to the idea that we would never buy a bag that wasn't copied, we would be reduced to using Hefty bags with leather straps!

courier!!

The courrier is great and roomy, but I wouldn't overload it. I worry about the stress on the folded leather straps that attach the handle. I also worry about the paint on the edges of the leather seams to crack under the stress. The courrier is fab for hand luggage on a plane or an overnighter.
