I can’t decide between these three:

1. Fendi mini peekaboo red calf with bows/lacing detail
2. LV Bond Street BB in pink
3. LV Bond Street BB in black

Stock photos below and also mod shots of the Fendi and pink LV. I haven’t seen the black LV in person.

Some background:
Last spring I fell in LOVE so hard with the red Fendi. At $4k it’s the most expensive bag I’ve ever considered. I obsessed over it for months and finally chose the practical route instead - a plain dark grey Fendi mini peekaboo (which I’m happy with). But still I pined for this red bag. I almost bought it too, in the fall, but stopped myself from spending another $4k in one year. Then, in January 2019, it appeared on Fashionphile!!!!! I bought it right away and was just stunned that I finally got one.

Last week I went to LV to pick up a speedy b 25. I saw this bond street in pink and fell in love with it. I don’t have an LV bag with this damier pattern (I have only 2 LV bags, both Monogram - the speedy and a Neverfull). I typically avoid flap bags as they’re kind of annoying to me, but since this is a cute Crossbody size, I think I can handle it.

Because I got the red Fendi preloved, the LV is more by about $400, brand new. If the Fendi were new it would cost more than twice as much as the LV.

I’m torn between the Fendi and LV. I already have one peekaboo, so should I get the LV instead? But.....I finally snagged my dream red Fendi!!! Or is the LV more practical (I could use the black one for work, if I decide to go back to work in the future....SAHM for the moment.....I don’t see myself using the red Fendi to work).

Then....If I choose the LV, should I go for pink or black?? The pink is sooooo pretty. I’m not as enamored with the black, but it doesn’t dirty as easily and is more versatile, I’d imagine.

Help! I have 2.5 weeks left on my return period for the red Fendi!

I think red is such a fun pop a color against so many outfits and it looks great against the outfit you’re wearing. It’s even appropriate for work. I don’t have a Peekaboo but this one is gorgeous. I love how the extra detail adds a fun twist to a Fendi classic. I’d keep the Fendi as it seems like that’s the one you want more and save for the LV for a future purchase (Mother’s Day isn’t that far away [emoji6])

I love the Fendi!

I say fendi too! Color is beautiful, and I think it could work dressed up or casual

Thank you thank you thank you!! I really appreciate you all taking the time to respond. :flowers: The red is definitely so gorgeous, and I don’t have any “pop” of color bag in my collection. I just get really caught up with which one is more “practical” and then I get so confused.

I like @Venessa84 ’s suggestion. I ought to hold off on the LV for now to see if it’s true love or a passing fancy. If I still want it months from now maybe I’ll move on it (the black). I know I wanted that red Fendi for an entire year!!! So I know that’s true love :smile:

I just wondered if people would think it’s crazy to choose that red bag with bows over the LV.

Thanks again!!
