work or brief. i've heard that the brief has a longer shoulder drop and so that does it for me but I really like the work, too. i didn't like the purse when i got one in ink - didn't like the size - and I have never seen a good picture of the bowling. SiriAnne has a mini-bowling in grenat that is just spectacular and makes me want one, too. Browse for her pic. Good luck and post what you end up getting. Cool guy, btw, for buying you a bbag.
