Default Gucci or Fendi - Help me decide......

Ok, I really need some help. I'm having a hard time deciding which handbag to get. It's between the Gucci Pelham shoulder bag or the
Fendi logo medium magic bag. I like the Fendi bag because it's different but I am worried about how "user" friendly it is. Does anyone know, is it hard to get in and out of with the flap? The Gucci also seems a little big for me. I'm just looking for an everyday bag to carry that is different from the satchels and hobos that I currently have. I really appreciate the help!

About 4 months ago I was undecided like you were. Do I want a Gucci or a Fendi? I never did get a Fendi. I got hooked on Guccis and still going strong. My vote is for the pelham. That's on my wish list.

MY GUCCI COLLECTION

Blush leather Abbey Shoulder Bag
Duchessa medium hobo
Medium white Joy Tote with gold trim
Beige canvas Royal with brown trim
Beige Canvas French wallet with brown trim

My wish list.

Gucci Pelham

I wondered if I would get an "unbias" opinion being in the Gucci forum. I think I was hoping that the vote would be for the Gucci......now, should I go with the Med. or the small???? Thanks again for your opinions...

You should try them out at the Gucci boutique if you have one near you. I personally drown in larger bags so I would get the small (I'm 4'11").

haha lol I didn't think you were going to get an "unbias" opinion on the Gucci forum. I was wondering if someone would go with Fendi!

The pelham is a great bag though - what color were you thinking of getting? I say....go for the MEDIUM!

I think I am set on the brown color. I've been on Gucci's website and they are only showing a medium size. Does anyone know the measurements on the small size.

Here are the measurements for the pelham. Small is 14.2L x 3.9W x 11.2H and the medium is 19.3L x 5.1W x 11.2 H. I am 5'2" and I personally like the small size. It fits me better. 19 inches is too big for me. But, if you are near a Neiman Marcus or Gucci store go in and and try them.
