I prefer the Brentwood. It's bigger and has adjustable straps. The Houston, while a gorgeous bag, too, is a bit cumbersome to tote around because of the "fatter" base. I'm waiting for my Brentwood in pomme d'amour....as soon as my SA says it's in, I'm going to pick it up!!! Good luck with your decision. Whatever you choose, you will have one knockout bag!
