Muse or Downtown??

Pandora11 · Jul 18th, 2008, 09:52 PM

I just bought two downtown. Anyway, Muse is growing on me...
I want your gals' opinions. I love the medium size Muse but not sure if the style is too structure or corporate/formal for me.
I used to work in the office but not anymore. So now... I have to pack all my work wardrobe since I didn't wear them anymore.
I am pretty casual nowadays... in jeans, sandal, casual blouse, summer dresses...

Do you think I should still go for it? Or downtown fits me better. I'm also thinking about Chanel Bowler.

Go for it. I have both and love them both, for different reasons. The muse will still work with the casual outfits you described. You can't go wrong :)

I like the new small downtown. The muse is great but structures look, though you can still use it everyday.

Muse. I think it's more timeless.

I have medium muse in white, 2nd summer with it. It is more structured but does not really hold it's shape (especially if you have tons of stuff in it like I do) Mine tends to buckle in in one side by the ring. It is classic though and I get tons of complements on it. I'm not corporate and I've been using it every day.
I'm dying to get the small patent downtown in either black or violet for fall though. Tried it on at Saks last week and LOVED it. Maybe I'll be daring and get the purple since I have the large quilted tribute in black.

I would still say get a muse...both the downtown and muse are excellent choices imho. They're both classic shapes.

omg - they're getting a patent violet for fall??!! Oh no! I'm going to be in trouble. Any pics? I already have a small black patent Downtown and it's a great choice too, fyi.

The Muse is a timeless, classy bag -- I think that's my next purchase.
