Jackie 1961 or Horsebit?

popped into bloomingdales to beat the heat and tried on a few icons. i almost always buy preowned, just my personal ethics. however, i fell a little bit in love with these two classics today. which would you choose?

Second photo. That is so you! You rock it.

To elaborate, in the first photo, you look like you’re just carrying a bulky handbag regardless of the brand. But in the second photo, the hobo shape and the white leather with gold hardware is just much more elegant and interesting to look at. I can see you enjoying it more in the summer months.

Anyhow, happy shopping.

I prefer all leather Jackie. But it depends what your needs are.

The Jackie! It looks so classy and polished with your outfit. It is also more of a "if you know, you know" bag instead of "I'M GUCCI." That being said, it really depends on your personal taste and needs. If you like something that is more obvious, or if you don't have anything brown, etc. then the Horsebit is a better option. Of course, with the Jackie being white (or cream?) you will need to be more careful with it then with the Horsebit. Both bags are beautiful and you are sure to love whatever you choose!

I actually like the 1955 more. I think your white outfit may be persuading more people to choose the Jackie, as it matches that colour more.

I also like the 1955 more, maybe in a white color?

My thoughts too.

OP, I vote Horsebit. Just got mine and I love it! Jackie is very pretty though.

1955 looks great on you!

Such a difficult choice, the are both so good! I would go with the bag that fits your needs the best, my other concern is white is difficult to take care of!

I absolutely love the Jackie 61. Getting, this in the large size in Black. I would also love to have this in red. My daughter likes the green. The J 61 is perfect for you.
