Hi girls!

I have been looking for the perfect cross body bag for a long time, but have been too focused on LV I guess.

Went to NAP and then I saw these two beauties..

But which should I pick?

Here are my pros:

Sasha: Big enough for school, it can fit A4 right?

Lots of pockets.

Natasha: The perfect size for shopping trips, travel and so on.

I'm not quite sure how I like the birds on Sasha, but I really like the size and all the pockets..

TIA!

-Sara!

Edit: Sorry for the misspelling in the title.

i like the sasha a lot more.

SaraDK · Nov 3rd, 2009, 04:08 PM

Thanks Tadpolenyc!

Hmmm, well My answer would for sure be the natasha, because to me it looks more like one of those classic bags that you'll love forever, I'm not really liking the birds but it is a beautiful bag too, the sasha looks a bit smaller than the natasha but I'm sure they hold about the same amount. I, myself am about to get the natasha, that's why I'm saying that of course, but every time a person tries to decide on something, they always lean a tiny bit more one way or the other and thats the best way to decide so just go with whichever one you get a good feeling about :) HTH
good luck

Hi!
No the Sasha is bigger. Its just the pics that make it look the other way..
I think I need to see them IRL, but I can't make to a store before the end of this month.. :(

klb4556 · Nov 3rd, 2009, 05:24 PM

Oh, okay! well that's cool then, yea I would have thought they were the same size had you not told me, because it's so hard to be able to tell sizes and proportions without seeing IRL, I'm sorry :( that's a tough one.

SaraDK · Nov 3rd, 2009, 06:28 PM

Its okay..

Thanks for answering..

thelostlala · Nov 3rd, 2009, 07:11 PM

i personally like the Natasha more cos its more classy n the color is just lovely.

sdkitty · Nov 3rd, 2009, 11:08 PM

I haven't seen Natasha IRL but the Sasha has nice soft leather and outside pockets so I'd have to say that would be my choice.

Izznit · Nov 3rd, 2009, 11:33 PM

I love my Sasha

I use it for school and I can cram a lot of stuff in there including my three ring binder, zip clutch, MASSIVE sunglasses case, another notebook in the back pocket, and my other necessities (iPod, camera, phone).

Some of the pockets are empty, I just don't have enough stuff to fill'em!

So uh... if it wasn't clear, I vote Sasha

paula_rose · Nov 4th, 2009, 12:51 AM

I saw the Natasha last weekend- its SMALL to me...I think its a little 'vanilla' design wise- the color is not.
I too have the Sasha and would never give her up! Everything about it does the trick for me.
Zappos is a handy resource when trying to do comparisons if you can't see things in person.

Good luck with your choice!

tigertrixie · Nov 4th, 2009, 12:55 AM

I like the Sasha (sans birds).

SomethingWitty · Nov 4th, 2009, 01:48 AM

I'd definitely pick the Sasha!

Although the Natasha in Grape Juice is very pretty!

SaraDK · Nov 4th, 2009, 06:17 AM

Thanks everyone!

I totally forgot to say that I wanted the Natasha in black too. Just couldn't find a pic when I opened the thread. But now I found it, and it looks quite doll.

So I think I'll go with Sasha. Now I just have to convince my family to give it to me for christmas..

Thanks for tip about Zappo, very nice pics!

Izznit: That sounds amazing! Thank you!

Hey SaraDK, just wanted to let you know I just purchased a Natasha Classic Q in black if you want to see IRL photos. I posted photos in another thread here:

Natasha cross body?

Hope that helps! :)
