Hi Ladies!
I'm so indecisive and thought I'd get your opinions on which to get. DH wants to get me a bag but when we went to the boutique, I couldn't decide between the Sm/Med Patent Graphite Sabrina or the Large Graphite Hippie (I was using my imagination on the Parker Graphite color at the boutique).
This is to be my last designer handbag purchase in a while so I want to choose carefully and don't want to buy and then return since it's a gift from him. I also want this to be more of an everyday bag since all my current bags are light colored & delicate and I need a "fall/winter" bag that I don't really need to baby too much.
Some background: I'm mostly a shoulder bag girl but have had a few hand/arm bags and liked them even though it took some extra effort to carry them - for some reason it made me feel very proper and classy (a la Audrey Hepburn). I have a 1 year old daughter and may need to fit some snacks as well and be hands free once in a while. My gut/practical side says Hippie but I also love the timeless look of the Sabrina. DH is leaning towards the Sabrina because he said it looks like a special bag but doesn't look too hard to take care of. (He calls my more recent Coach bags the "royal" bags because he says they're too high maintenance - I wipe down chairs before I place the bag on the chair - forget about putting them on the floor).
*sigh* deciscions decisions. What do you all think?!?! TIA!
