Decisions...decisions...Which to keep?

[J9Fell4Tiffanys]

Which 2 of these 3 bags would you keep? I love them all but can’t justify all 3. I also doubt that I can choose just 1 but if you can rank them in order, go right ahead haha! The first pic is the Coach Klare with linear quilted Napa leather. It is an outlet bag but I fell in love with it and the quality is much nicer than typical outlet bags however; the other 2 bags are retail bags that I scored for around the same price. The second bag is the Parker Top Handle with linear quilted Napa leather and the third pic is the Callie Foldover Clutch/WOC. Thanks so much for the help! ☺

Thanks! That’s what I’m thinking ha! I was shocked that I was even able to get it. I do like the Callie for special events too but we’ll see.

Somewhat depends on how much you carry and how you like to carry. But imho if you can keep two, keep the Parker top handle and the Callie WOC. They are different sizes and carry options so can serve different situations. The studs on the Callie are so beautiful!

That said, not sure about the rest of your collection, but I wouldn’t need two cream/gold quilted styles in my collection. I’d keep the Klare as it’s a perfect mid-size day to night style, return the other two and then have more money for a different bag

Well said! I blame it on the reserve drops I would’ve been happy with my Klare for the reasons you stated ha! I also have a chalk Cassie 19 but I’m less worried about color transfer on the polished pebbled leather so that is more of an everyday bag. I also wouldn’t wear that to a formal event but I would wear the Callie or the Klare to a formal event.

I'd keep the Parker Top Handle. I love a good top handle/crossbody bag. It's just such a useful design.

I've had a version of the WOC (the third bag) and it really doesn't fit much. (See below). So, for me, it was a no go. But I'm also really not a mini bag person!

It’s clear you really love the Klare, and I can see why! Definitely if you also have a chalk Cassie, then just keep one of these. My vote is for the Klare!

Thank you! Yes - agreed. The WOC will work for formal events and to throw in my diaper bag or work tote so I can just wear that crossbody when I don’t need everything else...same way someone would utilize a wristlet I guess. Otherwise, it’s way too small.

You’re right! I do love that Klare. I think that is the smartest idea. I’ll spend some time thinking it over. So hard to turn down the other two bc they are so gorgeous and of course, retail quality. I wish I knew how the Klare will hold up over time.

If the Klare is more functional than the Parker I would keep that over the Parker, only because I have never been a huge fan of the Parker in regard to functionality. I would say keep the Callie because I have recently learned how functional they are! If you need tips on how to use them, I am the one to ask--I have a system figured out, and they have been a really nice change for me--so small and lightweight/ easy to use.

So cool! Thank you. I will probably take you up on that offer! I haven’t received the Parker or Callie yet so once I can see them in person, it will be easier to decide. The Callie is such a classic look!

The main thing is to use it as a wallet and focus on moving your cards over to the area that you can put cards. I don't like to use all of the slots for my cards separately (I find those hard to use sometimes), so I put a few in their slots, and then I put a couple of bundles of 3 cards standing up in a slot so they are easier to get to. I use the zip front pocket as a money holder (bills and coins), and use the back pocket for my phone. There is also one extra opening inside for whatever, and I put a pen and chapstick there.

Agreed - I love when small bags have card slots so no need for any type of wallet. I didn’t think about using the zipper compartment for bills and coins though. That’s great! Thank you

I’m receiving the Parker top handle on Saturday but my Callie still hasn’t shipped. I’m leaning towards keeping those 2 now bc I think that the styles are more classic but we will see.
