Default LV vs Prada..? Help!

I really want a tote and these are my choices. Let me know which you all prefer and why. First up the lovely LV Damier Neverfull, and then we have the beautiful Prada Cervo Lux Shoulder bag.

I would think the Neverfull is also much lighter (since it's not leather). I also like that you can wear the Neverfull different ways (eg, with the sides out, as pictured, or cinched in) and that there are two different sizes.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I really like them both and I'm completely torn. The Neverfull seems more functional and lighter to carry, its also less expensive. The Prada is super luxe and timeless. I can see myself carrying this for decades. I need to make a decision before the Prada sale ends.

Prada for sure. It's more stylish. The LV you posted is OK but shows less characters.

I like both.

I'm not sure how comfortable the Prada chain handles would be if you weighed the bag down, although I think I prefer the look of the Prada over the LV.

But, the LV is cheaper, lighter, and probably worry-free since it's not leather.

Prada. Just because I'm kind of sick of LV. And Prada looks much better!

Prada, without question. I like the details better, but I do have a bias in that I am not a big fan of LV.

Prada

The leather looks scrumptious and it is a timeless color and shape. The LV looks a little blah in comparison.
