Clubbing bag/WOC recommandations?

[sabrinem]

Hi all!

I'm looking to buy a small black crossbody for going out clubbing. All my bags either don't work as crossbody, are too big or are in more delicate materials or light colors (god knows drunk people spill their drinks everywhere).
I'm leaning towards the chanel WOC, the diorama WOC, the Dionysus WOC or the Dionysus super mini. If you have any of these, can you please report about the durability of them and if you think they'll repeatedly stand the clubbing test?

All other recommandations are very welcomed!

What about the LV Felicie? The canvas is booze-friendly and the Epi Leather is quite hearty as well compared to a lambskin.

Eva cltuch / Favorite PM / MM, more ways to wear holds more than all these WOC.

My immediate answer is to look to "cheaper" brands, like contemporary brands or even Forever 21 bags. If permanent damage were ever to happen to a pricey bag, would you be happy with yourself? I've seen drinks spill on many bags ($ and $$$) and I've had friends who had their things stolen. I've also gone into the bathroom and seen frustrated girls trying to clean their ruined bags.

I go out pretty much every weekend and the bags I grab for have been my trusty Forever 21 and TJ Maxx finds. They are cheap but do the job of holding my stuff. I get it ruined, toss it out. It knocks into something or gets a scratch, that's fine too. These bags are not part of my daily prized collection. I don't really care what happens to them, which is a godsend when you are drunk and stumbling to bed. Not to mention, most people aren't really going to care what bag you carry in a club.

If you are really leaning towards designer bags though, I would also opt for something by LV. The canvas can take more of a beating and if something spills on it, easier to clean and not much risk for permanent damage. Typically, alcohol has to be wiped immediately. It's ok if you don't get it right away on canvas but on leather, it could soak in. Not to mention, alcohol is sticky so you would have to dampen repeatedly or rinse your bag. Of all the bags you listed, I would get the super mini, but only because I need phone, keys, cards, and some cash for going out.

I agree with using non-designer bags. Maybe Rebecca Minkoff? I have a black crossbody from RM gently inspired by the Balacianga City that is my go-to club bag.
