I am down to buying 1-2 bags a YEAR now, so I need some help with my bag purchase. I do not have a full price store in my town so I cannot compare/contrast bags.

I decided that I must have a bag in the new floral print. I am between the borough and the crosby. If anyone has modeling pictures of either, that would be great.

I would prefer a cross-body bag. Are both styles comfortable for cross body wear?

If anyone has a floral print, was it worth the splurge? TIA for any and all help!

I have both, and love them both. I find I rarely do the crossbody, mostly in crowds or when I need to keep both hands free. I find them equally comfortable. However, I tend to pack my borough more than the crosby. So, weight wise my borough ends up heavier. I find the compartments keep me organized and I find things much easily with the compartments. If I think I'm going to need to find things quickly the bags with the most compartments are what I take with me either three or five. The crosby's inside zippered compartment opening is smaller and not all my wallets fit in that crosby compartment. And I find it a great excuse to buy new wallets!

I have the Crosby, but considered the Soft Borough. I have issues with multiple compartments. I know a lot of ladies like them, but they just aren't for me. I prefer all one compartment, so the Crosby was a better fit. Both are lovely! I love the Winter Floral design. Although, now that I think of it, does the full sized Crosby come in the Winter Floral? I thought that was in the mini version only.

O I didn't notice that floral print didn't come in regular size Crosby. Good catch!

I like crossbody bags too! If we are just comparing Crosby vs Borough, I would prefer the new turnlock Boroughs as a crossbody style over the Crosby. The turnlock boroughs have one big space in the middle too. And I like that the spacing is wider in where the straps connect. Also the Crosby looks classier as a satchel imo.


O I should add that I don't own a turnlock Borough yet...

I love the floral print too! The Borough can be a bit heavy it the regular size. Whatever you do, I would try to get a dept store discount, especially since you have to order anyway. They all offering sales lately and I have seen the dept stores carry lots in the floral patterns
