Hi guys , Im in a dilemma, I can buy only one of these two bags and I need to choose. One is a chanel lax EW bag and another is a Prada Gaufre in Camel. Which bag would you get if it were to be only one. I know they are completely different types of bags but i need a push in one direction or the other.. Thanks!! I cant post this in the Prada or chanel forums because I think I would get a biased response:PP

Chanel Lax, This one is white, Ive seen a red one

yeah, Im new to chanels, I was thinking of going for a classic flap in chanel. In the chanel forums the reviews from this LAX are not very favorable.. what do you think with your experience with chanels? This LAX is a YAY or NAY?

I really like the Prada and I think it's infinitely better than the Chanel in this case. The Prada looks very soft and that rippling is very pretty and will be an eye-catcher. The Chanel looks boxy and I really dislike that it says CHANEL on the front like that. It's more of a "LOOK AT MY CHANEL!" style, which is a bummer. :Push:

The Prada lets its design speak for it instead of it's label. And it'll be VERY versatile in shape and color!

Good luck making a decision! ;)

Hey, no problem! I'm not biased either because I have neither brand of bag in my purse repertoire. :biggrin: I was looking at a braided leather Prada clutch today at NM that has the same looking leather (squishy and soft) but with a different weaving and it was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I couldn't stop touching it. I say buy this Prada and make off like a bandit. Mmmm...I can smell that leather now! :drool:

Prada. I am usually not a fan of Chanel even if some of their bags are quite classy, but this one, with the huge CHANEL stamped on it is not even that... tacky, actually.

I prefer the Prada in this case. I love Chanel too, but this particular style is not appealing to me. I agree with the others and think it looks too boxy and don't like that is says CHANEL in bold right on the front.

As you can tell, I really would tend to say Chanel, but this particular one is a bit ostentatious for me. I'd choose something like the Prada because while I like wearing labels, I don't want to be seen like I'm flashing them as much as that Chanel seems to.
