Gaby pouch crossbody bag- which would you pick?

[Sarenkaldn]

Hello, I recently purchased two Gaby crossbody bags in black lambskin online. However, I have observed that they look different from each other. I understand that handmade items can vary in their appearance, which is quite normal. I like this bag pouch as surprisingly it can hold a lot despite its size.

I am wondering if you could help me choose between the two bags. One of the bags has a shiny and more boxy appearance, while the other has a wider base compared to the top and the leather has a more matte finish. Also, I am curious to know if one of these leather finishes is more prone to damage than the other?

Hmm, they are very similar.
Tbh, they are kind of giving a different look in their own way, especially comparing the one with the wider base vs the more boxy one.

I'd either go with the one that fits my items the best and/or, looks the best on me when I wear it.

They are quite similar, indeed! 😃 The only difference between the two is the leather finish and the shape. So, I'm feeling a bit torn as to which one to choose. I wanted to know others' opinions on this matter since I tend to overlook imperfections and defects when buying bags. 😆 Thank you for sharing your opinion.

I like #2. I don’t know why but it’s my gut
