Style BV and Cross-brand style Comparison

[ksuromax]

Good day to all
Recently I have purchased my lovely China Blue cervo bag, and i really like it and wear quite frequently, i am getting questions about the bag so i decided to make a comparison. I've picked my most used and loved styles, Cervo hobo and Balenciaga Day. Hope you will enjoy the read and find my pictures useful
thanks for reading

Here's the China Blue cervo bag, 2010 with purple suede lining and 2 other bags i will be comparing her with

 

[ksuromax]

this is what i normally load my bag with:
0.5 l bottle of water
2 cell phones
1 phone case which i use as a lipstick/tissues/mints case for quick access
card case
cosmetics case
random stuff pouch (wet wipes, scissors, notepad, pen, band aids, etc)
long wallet
pocket book (i am a driver, so i don't carry a book along, but grabbed that small brochure from Pandora for ref)
a light cardi

The China Blue is way wider than either cervo hobo or Balenciaga Day

 

[ksuromax]

this is how Cervo hobo looks loaded
it feels tighter that Day, and i could not put the sides together to close the magnets, tho i must admit it looked a bit better because of thick and sturdy leather

 

[ksuromax]

Balenciaga Day had way more spare room even with the cargi inside, but it did look a bit odd with the bottle and book poking through because of thinner leather and cloth lining, and yes, i could easily close the zip

and now comes the China Blue
she fit all and a little more, literally a bottomless pit and she doesn't look bulky at all! I'm so in love with this gorgeous baby!
i usually pull both sides together and fold them down, but sometimes i close her in Sloane way, i.e. flap the sides over each other, either way works perfectly well

Thanks for the comparison. I might consider also referencing this thread in the Balenciaga forum. The sizing comparison amongst brands is helpful. Be sure to point out the China hobo is not made anymore.

I thought of it, but didn't have time today to make another new thread, by the way, is there any option to 'share' the same thread in 2 subforums?
I mentioned it was from 2010, but yes, you're right, it's not made any longer, but some of them pop up in the secondary market, so....

I think you can put the link to the thread in another thread. Or that's how I've done it in the past.

Great comparison. I have the City and ordered a First from Nordstrom once but it was clearly a return so I returned it. I've always wanted to give it another try. This thread gives me the itch. [emoji23]
