Goldenbleu Tiffany or Hayden Harnett Lorca?

Which do you prefer? and why?

They're about the same size, the same price...

If you could only get one, which one would you get? TIA!

I don't know anything about the Lorca, other than I've heard people say it can be too "slouchy" when carried only as a clutch, without the strap. I have a Tiffany in black patent and it's yummy. I bought it at their recent sale. Very large, panel clutch, it fits comfortably under my arm and keeps its shape. The disadvantage, of course, is that there are no straps. So, I guess, it comes down to whether or not having the straps to sling over your arm or shoulder is important to you. And the color availability too. (I've had to talk myself out of buying another Tiffany multiple times! The cappucino keeps calling to me.)

One of my friend's has a lorca and it is a bit slouchy as a clutch unless you have enough in it to give it structure. Holding it in the middle it may slouch down on either side of your hand but as a handbag it is gorgeous. The bag hangs well on my friend..she is about 5'4 or so and it looks great.

Thanks ladies. I think I'm gonna get one of them, just not sure which one.

I don't have any idea about Lorca. I have one Goldenbleu that it beautifully made.

I have and love both bags....It depends on what your are going 4- if you strictly are wanting a clutch then I would DEF. go with the Tiffany! It is more structered and holds alot. On the other hand if you are wanting a handbag/something that you can throw on your shoulder I would go with the Lorca. While it is slouchy, it wears very nicley on the shoulder IMO.

Gosh I loved my Lorca, but it IS really slouchy, so much so that at times I got frustrated because the ends of the flap kept pulling up while I was wearing it. However, it's a perfect size, and the strap is just great - wider at the top so it keeps on your shoulder perfectly. I'd still be carrying mine if I hadn't ordered the saddle color, which got too dirty to carry anymore. I wish there was some way to clean it - I miss that bag.

I don't have the other bag, so I can't comment on that one, but it sure looks pretty from the pics.

Same price? Really?
The HH is $298 on the HH website, and the GB is $99 on the GB website.
Even aside from that, I'd say Tiffany. It has great structure, great colors, and great quality. It's hard to beat Goldenbleu.

Yes, really. HH was on sale for about $78 and GB has an additional 25% discount.
But anyway, thanks for your response.
