This is a follow up to an earlier post asking opinions on a crossbody bag.
I started this search looking for a predominantly casual use, but potentially "everyday" crossbody that I can take with me traveling.
After much consideration, I've narrowed it down to 2:

My criteria for this purchase, in the order of most to least importance:
- Can go casual when I need it to. It should look right with a T shirt, skinny jeans or shorts, and sandals or slip on sneakers. I'll borrow a term here from a kind member at the LV forum in my last thread. This bag needs to be able to do "casual casual" in addition to "fab casual". I live in an LA beach city, and my style does reflect it. I notice that some of my satchel bags, with the exception of my LV canvas pieces and balenciagas, look funny when paired with my weekend wear, especially in warmer weather, which is pretty much 9-10/12 months.
- Durable. This will be my go-to crossbody for the next ~10 years, through travels and kids, hopefully.
- Will also go with the majority of my office wear.
- Classic-looking.
- Alma BB. The more casual option, but also very versatile. I love the durability, low maintenance materials, and timelessness, and I can see myself continuing to love this bag 10+ years from now, and most importantly, using it.
- YSL college. What I feel for this bag is just pure lust! Lol. Just a gorgeous bag. It will go great with my office/winter wear, but I struggle to see myself using it with my very casual warm weather outfits; I think it's the chain strap. Though the YSL threads say it does hold up to daily use, I probably would baby this more. I also have concerns as to durability long term. For that price tag, I need it to last.
