Balenciaga the box

[chloesmygirl]

Well it's hard for me to say because I have both. I feel like I should defend the box because it really is a cute shape and isn't really that boxy when you use it IRL. I think it's the perfect size to carry all your purse type items and holds tons more than the first. I can put 2 wallets, a treo phone, and a light sweater in the box perfectly. The twiggy on the other hand is a bit longer and to me looks more like a loaf of bread because of the longness. I love both styles .

I like the Box more.. I have a Magenta Box and I find that it slouches well and doesn't look 'boxy' when it's on my shoulder.
With the twiggy, I find it droops too much for my liking!

i find myself wanting a box recently.
if i could find the same kind of soft squishy leather that i have on my current black twiggy, i'd get a black box in a heartbeat.

I have a gorgeous Olive Box from Mimi that I'm just in love with. It holds the perfect amount of stuff!

Can you go see them in person? I hadn't seen a box before I was at the store looking to buy a b-bag... originally I thought I was going to decide between a first or a twiggy... and then the box ended up being a happy medium for me... So my recommendation is to see them in person! But if you can't, I'll put my vote in for the box.

Ooh, but like Vixy said, I didn't end up liking how the far the strap hung down and ended up taking that off and leaving it in the dustbag instead of attached to the bag. But that's not a huge deal cuz you just take it off.

im not a big fan of the long shape of the twiggy....so i'll go for the box!!!

i guess it's back on your style & how much you carry... u should see and try them IRL. twiggy is bigger than it seems. i took the pics of my twiggy n city, and twiggy made more impression, the handle's also bit bigger than city. box is smaller again.

I had a magenta twiggy that I just didn't care for. I ended up selling that and keeping my magenta first I was totally sold on the first style until I was a NM with my bf and saw an ink box and fell in love. I'm a bit on the petite side so I thought that the box was just the perfect size. It carried more than the first, but it didn't appear to be as huge on me as the twiggy. Ever since I've been searching for a box in the perfect color. Definitely try to go check them out in person. Once you see the two sizes side by side you'll know exactly which one fits your style best!

I just got a box today, and I wouldnt mind having another!! Its slouchy with a touch of structure. It holds as much as I'd ever need ! Twiggy is cute too. Im tall, 5'9" and I dont find the box is too small for me. (and I do like big bags so Im surprised)

Luccibag - Since you're tall, do you use the strap on your Box or carry only as handheld? Does the strap look alright if you do or does it look too odd? Just curious, because I've seen comments that people like the style, but not the strap. TIA

I've wanted a Twiggy for a while and just recently bought both the box and the Twiggy and returned the Twiggy. The box is the perfect size. Can hold SOOOO much more then you think with a really nice shape. The Twiggy just seemed akward to me.

I prefer the shape of the twiggy.
