I’ve been patiently waiting for a perfect black bag, I was ready to pull the trigger on the metallic graphite rogue (because while not black, it’s close and coach frustratingly insists on pairing brown stitching and interior with black...). Now that I’ve seen your dreamer I think I might be convinced! I’m not sure why I never considered it before seeing your pics.

Obviously, I vote dreamer!
I agree I have been looking and looking and I like the bottom bag but it is very open . That’s all
 
I’ll try to take some pictures tomorrow. I did get the black dreamer 36 but mine has rivets. Also I use two LV pouches to put stuff inside. The purse really holds a lot. ButToo big a purse to wear crossbody in my opinion,
Didn’t know it was made w rivets .......sounds so cool . Def post pics
 
Did the openness of it bother you and did it puddle ? Those are my concerns

The openness did not bug me, but I am not a person who zips my bags. If I was in a situation where I wanted my Brooklyn to be secure, I’d hold it by the Satchel handles and cinch in the sides. As far as the shape, it’s going to slouch, but it does not become a puddle.
I guess it comes down to what style you’re going for. I’m into the boho look, so that’s why I am drawn to the Brooklyn. It’s a nice casual bag with some edge & I got compliments everywhere I went with her. I also think the leather is nicer on the Brooklyn because it’s thick/substantial and mine held up extremely well. I also love how MK bags have soooo many interior pockets.
If you’re after a more streamlined/refined look, the dreamer is probably a better fit. I can’t speak to the quality because I do not own one (yet[emoji23]) but it seems that the dreamer will be lighter to carry and the fact that it’s all black ensures that it will be easy to style.
Good luck deciding!

I tried searching TPF for my old posts but can only go back so far, so here are some examples of the “slouch” from instagram:

I’d say the purple pic above is about how slouchy my bag was. You could definitely use a bag organizer to keep it from becoming too slouchy.

Where do you get the organizers? You are so kind to go thru all this for me .
