Help me choose! Louis Vuitton Alma BB vs. Prada Cleo in Red

[Maebe]

Hi all! I'm currently looking to add a red bag to my collection. My two favorite options are the LV Alma BB in Coquelicot and the Prada Cleo in scarlet (the flap version). Would love others thoughts! I'm looking for something timeless that can go day to night, in a beautiful red color that's not too orange or pink leaning. I've seen both in person and while I prefer the shape and versatility of the LV Alma BB, I do love the little bit darker red of the Prada, so I'm a little torn. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

The LV is such a classic shape, much more elegant and refined. In this color, you get a hint that maybe she's a little spicy, too. I would, 100%, go with the LV

I am biased with Coquelicot in epi. I would opt for the LV Alma bb.

The Alma is an absolute classic and epi leather is tough as nails. Plus much more practical with hand-carry handles plus shoulder strap. Definitely the Alma! I hear you about the color of the Cleo but that doesn’t outweigh the benefits of the LV.

Never was a fan of the double zipper, but I do love the convertability of the Alma.

While I love the saddle style of the Prada, I choose the Alma. You can remove the strap and make it a nice night out/date bag, too!
