Talking Balenciaga First OR MiuMiu Bow?
Your choice? I can't decide!

I'd go with Balenciaga but not the First...
Which size bow are you thinking of?

I prefer the BBag. Don't get me wrong, I love the Bow, but it's kind of a pain to get into if you are hand carrying it and the bows curl pretty easily. The First, on the other hand, is a classic and has none of those issues. I had both bags and sold the Bow.

I would def go with the Balenciaga bc it is a classic bag you'll have forever, and thats inportant when you're spending $$$. I would say city if not the first, but both are cute

I love Miu Miu, but I'm not a fan of bow bags in particular, and I love Balenciaga's First. So it's bet. a 1st and a bow, I go with the 1st.

Those two have quite some size differences. Do you prefer larger or smaller bags? I wouldn't go for Miu Miu Bow since it has leather cracking on the edge problems.

I was just thinking how much I love my city. It is the perfect bag. I'd go with balenciaga! IMHO it is so much cuter.

They are roughly the same style but the city is bigger.

ok. I thought so. I googled and was like the first looks like the city to me.

I would get a city bag. I like bigger bags personally.
