Céline Small Big Bag vs. Phantom Medium

[Fally420]

Hey,

I am contemplating these two bags for a long time but can't decide which one. At first glance both designs seem similar for me. Does anyone happen to have both or can compare both bags in any way?

I am planning to wear both bags mostly handheld, though the strap on the Big bag is a nice option if you really have to be handsfree.

The Phantom bag has a really wide bottom. How does the Big Bag compare size wise? And qualitywise?
The Big bag can be closed with the buckle, which is nice but I think closing could also be a hassle?

Thanks a lot!

The phantom is quite a bit bigger than the small big bag. I used to a phantom but I found it hard to use a lot because it was so big. It needed a chair of its own when we went out. I find the small big bag way more manageable.
