HELP me make a decision!

[wickedassin]

Ok, so I've been really enjoying my new YSL Mombasa. But I'm tempted to get a new bag.... There are lots of interesting things out there for spring, but nothing's really "done" it for me... I realized that I don't really have a "great" black bag--just this one Coach Soho flap shoulder style that works well when I'm going for the conservative look.

Anyways, some input would be helpful. I was thinking that the LV Epi Figari MM in black might be a nice classic. Has anyone seen this in person?

Or what about this MJ:

It's not as big as it looks in the photo.

I do have the Fendi B-bag in the tan/black patent combo on pre-order. It's the medium size that Saks and NM both had on pre-order. But it's a little pricer than what I think I want to spend....

I think I'm going for the ladies-who-do-lunch-and-tea look. I don't want a Chanel flap purse with a chain strap though... Thanks for the input! Oh and I'd like to stay around in the $1200 budget.

I am not a big fan of this particular MJ bag, but the LV one is gorgeous and definitely the look you are going for!

Hmm, I'm not a fan of that MJ either (which is strange, because I tend to like most of his things).. The LV is pretty

I'm not feeling that MJ bag. Too "queen mumish" for me. I love the LV. In black that would be a knockout!

So funny how everyone's tastes are soo different! I don't like that LV and I really like the MJ!

What about a Chanel Kelly?
The ultimate ladies who lunch bag?
But out of the two I like the MJ...but the shoulder straps look like they might be tight.

I really love the MJ! IRL, it's gorgeous!

You know my opinion... ha ha! But I'll just say it again...I like the MJ better.

 

[wickedassin]

Thanks for all your input! I think I'll try to see the Figari in person--it's a shape that could look really good or just odd...

The MJ is very nice IRL. Just debating whether it's the "right" black bag Any more input is welcome!

I think LV is more classic while the MJ is classic with a bit of a twist. Depends how far from classic you want to go...

I love that MJ. I saw one at Holt before I even saw it on the internet. Unfortunatly is was special ordered for someone else. It's even better in person. I'm usually a sucker for the Epi Leather but that bag just doesn't do it for me personally.

I like both LV and MJ collections, but for this one, I like the MJ better.

Have you considered Gucci? They have some nice bags that are not too "stuffy." Here are a few I saw.
