Help me to choose a bag!

[feathersky]

Hello All,

This is my first post and after reading around inthe forum, I thought maybe you guys could help me choose a bag for my sister.

She has expressed her interest in Cole Haan bags and that she wants a bag that is neutral. She's a 30 year old professional, but wants to also maintain style.

Thanks so much in advance everyone! I appreciate it!

Here are my choices...

EW TRIPLE ZIP BAG $450

NS TOTE $425

Hello. and Welcome!!!!!!!!The purses that you've chosen are nice and come in a neutral which is very versatile.Between the two you've posted,i 'm leaning toward the first one.I like the shape better and the pockets and buckle give it a more interesting look.

I prefer Bag No. 1.

The first bag... super cute... you could use that bag w/a casual or dressier outfit...

 

[New Obsessions]

Have to agree with everyone above. I prefer the first one. Enjoy the forum!

The first one is great! Excellent choice and welcome!

I like the first bag much, much more than the second. I think that it's very appropriate for a 30 year old. The tote looks a bit older.

I vote for the first one, I like the style better.

The first one has a lot more style.

I personally prefer the first one, but I think the important thing is to know what your sister likes. Does she like shoulder straps, or smaller handles that have to be carried? Does she carry everything but the kitchen sink, or just a few essentials? If you don't want to ask her straight out, take notice of other bags she owns, and what she uses the most. Then look for a neutral Cole Haan that has similar features.

I agree with everyone else, the first one.

 

[GirlFriday]

I agree. The first one. The style is more interesting.

I prefer the pockets and horizontal shape of the first one. The second one is rather plain, and in brown, looks like a sack :shame:
