Even though I decided not to buy any bags this year, I'm wondering what my next bag will be and would like to order one at the end of the month. I don't know what to go for!
I love the look and practicality of the Estrela, but I would prefer an all leather bag. I already have a Speedy b 25 but am thinking about another one, I really like it and love that its a timeless bag (I do just tend to feel a little deflated when a bag I have gets discontinued as feel like it will soon look dated), but with two of the same bag I wonder whether one would get neglected in favour of my most preferred colour. Or possibly a 30 (however the 30 is only currently available in black or marineR and I think I'd prefer something a bit different). I love the lady-like look of the Montaigne, and the organisation inside and its structured look, but I live in the UK and would worry about the inside getting wet as it's an open bag, and how neatly the bag will fall with the strap attaching at the handles. It would also tip over budget a little and I'd need to sell a few bits first. I also really like the Mazarine (unsure on size), it has feet which is a plus for me, but I've heard the magnetic closure stays open if the bag is full or sometimes sits wonky.
Unfortunately I am no where near any stores and so can't go in and try them on/compare them. Any thoughts on what you'd choose, or pics/review if you have these bags would be much appreciated
