I am going through the same thing as you. I am trying to grab a bag before the price increase! Ultimately, I have now decided against the tote- although I really, really originally wanted it. I am down to the Saddle or potentially the Bobby. I do like the 30 Montaigne but it has not made my list as of now. As much as I am loving the tote- I am feeling like it's going to be too quick of a trend. Hoping I do not regret that decision later. Good luck!Very interested in these two and the price increase is motivating me into action! for those that have either or both, what’s been the experience? I know they both have different purposes and usability, but would love any insight into pros and cons. Thanks so much!

They're both gorgeous, but if you can only pick one, I'd recommend the 30 montaigne. The leather version of the 30 montaigne is way easier to take care of than the canvas book tote, and I have one in a similar blush color family and it is so easy to match with everything!Very interested in these two and the price increase is motivating me into action! for those that have either or both, what’s been the experience?

This Book Tote is so beautiful, but you may get more use out of the 30Montaigne because it goes with more looks, from day to evening.Very interested in these two and the price increase is motivating me into action! for those that have either or both, what’s been the experience?

I have two in the smooth leather. No problems. Such a beautifully made bag, fully leather lined with three kinds of leather used.For those of you who have the 30 montaigne, do you have it in the smooth or pebbled leather? I love the look of the smooth, but i have a celine box that I feel like I have to baby... so considering the pebbled as the leather is more robust. Thoughts?
You need both! They’re completely different from one another and both are gorgeous. If I had to choose, though, then 30M.

Which did you end up getting? I myself love the mille fleur tote and got sucked in with it being a seasonal limited piece. In Canada both the bags ( this & lady dior) I was interested in only went up $100. So I got this tote and will save up for the classic lady dior.Very interested in these two and the price increase is motivating me into action! for those that have either or both, what’s been the experience?

I ended up worth the book tote as I couldn’t pass on the floral print. I think it will be a fun addition for spring/summer. I also do not have many totes compared to a number of smaller crossbody bags. I’ll plan for the Montaigne another time.Which did you end up getting?
