i'm looking for something to wear out at night - it wouldn't be used for a day bag for work or anything like that. would you recommend the first or twiggy and what is your rationale?
My first b-bag was a twiggy, and I love it. It's the perfect size-- roomy enough to hold all you need for day, but small enough to be chic for evening.
The First definitely! The shape is divine and the size works well for day or night. The design is truly classic and so hot....I love it so much. Here's one of my firsts for a little eye-candy:
Yep, it's '05 turquoise...my favorite color ever! It looks even more like a polished jem in person...I've never had so many comments on a bag before this baby. Thanks!
And the dimensions of the first are: 13"W x 7.5"H x 2.5"D with a 18.5" strap.
Here's a sexy Twiggy to make matters more difficult:
Personally, I find the Twiggy to big for evening. I like the first or something smaller... but the Twiggy is a lovely style. The dimensions of this bag are: 14"W x 7"H x 6.5"D with a 24.5" strap.
You've got a tough decision, because both the twiggy and the first are great looking bbags. The first seems smaller so that may work out for you better.
Get both!!! One in black and one in a sexy color like turquoise, blue india, rouge vif...something. that way you have all your bases covered and two HOT bbags!!
