Thanks for all the comments and votes. I have 31 votes for LV Empriente in Ombre and 14 votes for Hermes Evelyne now.
I have to apologise as I have forogotten to mention I am choosing between LV Empriente Lumineuse PM in Ombre,not Artsy. I find the Artsy too big for my 5' 1" height.
I like that both can be used as shoulder-carry or crossbody. Both have exterior pocket,, though Lumineuse's pocket is much smaller,probably can only fit in my car keys. I agreed that Evelyne looks a lot more casual, probably due to the strap.
As I mentioned before, I liked the Evelyne online.... after receiving it in the mail, I wasn't thrilled about it. I can think about a 100 other bags made better than that. I think Hermes is kind of overated. I couldn't really tell the difference between the leather on that bag vs a Louis Vuitton or a Dooney for that matter and I have very expensive and qualitative taste. The older that I get, I have realized that a brand doesn't guarantee a better bag. Cost and Demand. If a customer is willing to give blood or their life for an item, the brand is going to continue to raise the prices. That is why we have a huge gap between the haves and have nots. As long as we as consumers keeping giving these billionaires money, this will continue to happen.
