I think the Balenciaga bags with the RH are so classic. Like a Hermes Kelly or Birkin . . . or LV Speedy.
I think the GH is more trendy (like the multi color LV's). The GH screams "Look at me" and the RH looks classic. I don't own any of the giant hardware.
It depends on what your image is.
I'm pretty brave, and sometimes dress like I think I'm a rockstar/supermodel.
Don't get me wrong, I've worn my fair share of disastrous outfits--and I have the pictures to prove it!!!
But sometimes it really works
My fashion goal is to have a more workable Racheal Zoe-ish bohemian appeal (without the aged-anorexic-faced appearance of course!). . . I saw a girl in Miami that was weraring a Classic vintage Halston evening gown as a summer dress with Marni heels & carrying a RH Balenciaga Black City--oh my GAWD--everyone was drooling. That's my idea of a muse.
My opinion is RH are classic but super sexy & I'm the type of girl who loves when my tassels split.
I like the RH with a pair of hot jeans & a classic white tee and a little messy bed-hair too.
I guess I just don't like the GH (except on the clutches and then TDF!). So I am admittedly biased.
Which one are you going to want to pull out of your closet and rock in 5 years?
