Wanted to share some recent pictures where I was trying to decide on a new bag.
My Saint Laurent outfit of the day:

I really wanted a bag with a dangling pouch on the strap to match my new
Prada Cloudbust Thunder sneakers.
So I ventured into LV to try the LV men's Trio Messenger which I have been eyeing for a while. Doesn't match my Saint Laurent look at all (not that it is supposed to).

Tried on the LV Utility Crossbody. Very nice bag, but not exactly what I was looking for. I would have liked it more with silver hardware. (I love how my Sac de Jour 48hr duffle looks in the background

)

Went with the Prada Brique in polished leather, which I revealed on the Prada forum. Such a beautiful bag! I knew it was the right bag as soon as I tried it on at the Prada boutique at Holts Yorkdale. Had to get one transferred to Saks to use the gift card I got from their tiered-award purchases.

At least I got to try on all of these bags before the lockdown that just took effect, our third one in Toronto. Would have been much harder to decide on these if I couldn't try them on.
