Noir Mam is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In all honesty, I would sell one just because they really will serve the same purpose, do you know what I mean?? It would be so hard for me though, GL what ever you decide!

Congrats Vivi on acquiring the yummy Noir lamb leather!!! Lovely

vivi1205 · Nov 1st, 2009, 08:20 PM

Thanks for your input pinkboudoir, nazaluke, scoobiesmomma, and sheanabelle

! So majority says to keep both...yay!!

! And if I'm to let one go, it would be BBW. I think I'll use them both in my rotation so I won't overuse one

, kwim? That, my friends, is my rationalization

!! Thanks again gals!

pursekidd · Nov 1st, 2009, 08:27 PM

Hmm, I think you can keep both! They are different enough for me....

Congrats, your NOIR MAM is soooo pretty! I can only imagine what it feels like!

vivi1205 · Nov 1st, 2009, 08:59 PM

Thanks Kiwi & Pursekidd

! I love that lambskin. I keep touching my MAM & smelling her. DH is starting to give me strange looks

...hehe

TaraPep · Nov 1st, 2009, 09:04 PM

Definitely worth the wait! What a beauty!! They are totally different enough to keep both.. In my opinion, you should always have 2 black bags that vary slightly.

Congrats!!

sgw135 · Nov 1st, 2009, 09:06 PM

omg the noir is TDF absolutely stunnning and both bags are totes different enough to keep both!!! youll get a ton of use out of each of them

peppamint · Nov 1st, 2009, 09:10 PM

Noir is gorgeous! I'm partial to the siggy hardware, so I'd keep Noir, but it sounds like you like the dogleash/brass better, so maybe you should keep the basketweave.

Although I prefer the Noir, I have to admit that the BBW is more "unique"--how many bags these days are "woven" like that? But there are plenty of plain black leather bags (not that I'm calling Noir plain, but you know what I mean).

HTH!

(And congrats on a gorgeous bag! Love it!)

MAGJES · Nov 1st, 2009, 09:47 PM

Oh...Those lovely pictures make me miss my NOIR!!! I sold mine when I acquired my BBW MAM. There are different but I couldn't justify both ....but then I have a black Nikki too so if you love both then I say KEEP both!!

Myblackbag · Nov 1st, 2009, 10:13 PM

Congrats on your beautiful bag! I have a Noir MAM as well and the leather is gorgeous.

If you cannot justify keeping both, just keep the one you love the most. There is no wrong decision, they are both beautiful.

baghag411 · Nov 2nd, 2009, 09:13 AM

I have both bags actually and will not let either go. . . two different looks. I mean, if it's a bag that you know you will never use then let the BBW go, but for the sake of being too similar, I think they are not! Noir is the best leather!!! Congratulations!!!

kdo · Nov 2nd, 2009, 09:38 AM

I agree with most...if you love both and will use them, then keep both! Really, a girl can't have too many black bags and they are different enough to justify. But if you HAD to choose, then choose the leather and/or hardware you like most. Congrats on both beauties.

BacardiGirl · Nov 2nd, 2009, 10:44 AM

Looks Great with that outfit...very CHIC!

jc0812 · Nov 2nd, 2009, 12:39 PM

I can't help you much because I am in the same dilemma. I have a Noir MAM too and an old school BBW MAB, and I am waiting for a BBW MAM with silver hardware. So far, I think they are all different enough to justify keeping all of them...but we'll see! Personally, I think black MAM's/MAB's are a classic and you can't go wrong with them. They will always be classy and in style, and they look good with everything!

Good luck with your decision!

gorgeous!!! congrats!!!
