So far I've got a black/blu regular bucket and a royal calf mini bucket. I've preordered a cammello/Orange regular lady bag, but now may have gotten a lead on a flamma calf regular/large crossbody preorder. Definitely can't get both, but having a hard time deciding! I do already have a duffel style bag leather bag that is a similar color to the cammello, and it wouldn't hurt my wallet to pick the less expensive (smaller) crossbody, but I'm still having a hard time deciding. The Cammello/Orange is such a pretty combo but I feel like the flamma will be really striking in the crossbody. It's also unclear to me how much the interior color will show I'm the ladybag (vs the bucket and tote). Thoughts?

Oh, and maybe this should be an official thread for people generally trying to decide between styles rather than just looking to post to a thread on one specific style?

I think you need to decide for yourself what works best for you. You should assess what your needs are, look at what you have, and then come up with a plan. You really can't go wrong with any of these bags.

So in general I'm a big bag person, despite being quite petite myself. Other than a clutch for a fancy event, I've tended toward duffels, totes, and now buckets ;) so I feel like I know what I would be getting with the lady bag, but that's what appealed to me about the crossbody - something different that would feel a bit sleeker. The mini crossbody definitely seems to small for me - at 1.5" deep I don't know if my wallet would even fit ;) - but I'm just trying to figure out what would reasonably fit in the regular crossbody. The dims are:
7"h x 9.25"w x 2.25"d
And thoughts on getting it in flamma (vs blu or moss, which I had also considered)? It felt like the flaw would really read as a statement piece...

Gee...hard decision! A shame you can't try them on beforehand.
JMHO but the LadyBag seems more casual to me...a cross between a backpack and a bucket.

True. Theoretically I could buy both and sell one, but is that a dangerous game to play? With ebay and PayPal fees I wouldn't want to lose money on figuring it out ;)

Or you might just wind up loving both:graucho::graucho:and keeping them!! I love the idea of flamma in the crossbody.

Done. Cancelled. Hoping someone snatches it up quickly so I'm not tempted again. Really excited for my flamma crossbody though![emoji106]🏻[emoji4][emoji173]️
