Definitely Chanel. The LV looks juvenile to me while the Chanel somehow seems classy, even as a backpack which is inherently casual. Perhaps I'm not the best source as I lived through the mini backpack trend of the mid/late nineties when even sorority girl had one (or ten).
Thank you clu13, do you think the color on this Chanel backpack is too muted since the hardware is also Matt? My concern is that the Chanel does not stands out as much as the LV monogram when carried.
I personally like the LV better. It's cuter and more casual everyday. The Chanel is nice but not my style. It seems stuffy to me and something an older woman in at least her 40s would be wearing. The LV has a more fun vibe to it.
chanel gets my vote!! there's something so awesome about the chevron quilting on that particular color + hardware combo that is edgy and modern. i see someone young and trendy carrying that, not someone in her 40's. I see the LV monogram print everywhere. everyone and their mom (literally) has it and the majority aren't even real. sorry if i offended any LV lovers, but this is the Chanel forum after all!!
