They are pretty similar too keep both IMHO i had both and returned my Laila in favor of the Sage. For one thing i wanted a true black bag, with the shimmer on the Laila it almost looks like a faded black, for lack of a better description. Plus i already have the grey python Laila. I personally LOVE the mamma Sage, she is probably one of my favorite bags I own, she is heavy but personally I dont think she's much heavier than the Laila. I love the way she looks, and I especially love that she's a great everyday bag that I feel like will withstand anything. I think the Laila is gorgeous too, but once I saw the black Goat Sage I didn't even give a second thought about returning my Laila for her.
