Halzan 31 v Evelyne PM

[Veritybelle]

Hi everyone

I have an Evelyne PM that I don’t use as often as I might because I don’t love the open top or the vertical orientation. I am considering a Halzan 31. For those who own both, would I just be doubling up (I’m focused on suitability as a slim, lightweight everyday bag and not to acquire a collection of either bag)? I know these bags have been compared in the mini format here before; but I’m interested in how people find the capacity/functionality of the larger sizes.

Thanks in advance!

I have the Halzan 31, and although it works well as a crossbody like the Evelyn, I do think the two bags are quite different. I love the fact that you can grab it by the top handles when desired, the flap and buckle add security (I don't buckle it closed typically but it would make the bag super secure). It sits nicely against the body and I think it's more attractive on a petite frame. I also think it has more design elements than the Evelyn PM. I believe that the Evelyn PM has a larger capacity. Really love the Halzan and would love to get another one in the 25 size!
