Firstly, congrats on getting your first ever designer bag:biggrin:
I would suggest that you consider what kind of bag you really want, as the examples mentioned are quite different.
Do you want an everyday bag that you can quickly grab when going shopping, doing errands etc, or more of a «out for dinner» or occasional bag? Or maybe a bag that can be used both for day and night and make a good transition bag between most occasions?
And depending on the kind of bag you want, what kind of capacity do you need? Is it enough with a card holder, lipstick and keys, or do you want it to fit bigger items like a pouch, sunglasses, bigger sized wallet, lotion etc also?
Also, which bag do you think is the most suitable for your personal style and clothes?
I think you should come up with an answer to most of these questions before you decide, as that will minimize the risk of regret or disappointment after purchase:amuse: Getting your first designer bag should be a great and special experience, so I really wish you the best of luck! :flowers:

The Saint Laurent YSL Lou Camera Bag would be my choice. It has classic chevron quilting and YSL logo. The bag is versatile and can be used day or night. It is also much more roomy than the Toy LouLou Bag. The Prada Bucket Bag is also cute!
 
I'd also say the Lou Lou Toy bag. It's a bit more interesting than the others, which come off a little bit plain in comparison. It also seems more versatile as it can go with dressy outfits or casual ones.
 
@sil_cia with all the different choices you have, you have to think what you need. The bags are different and only you know what your life is like - get the bag that suits it best. Do you need a crossbody bag, something with more room, what material suits you best etc, there are so many things to consider especially when you're making a bigger investment to a bag.
