Messenger bags: LV or Gucci

[sonaturallyme]

Hi all. I'm looking for a good work bag to carry. I have a backpack for my laptop so I don't need anything too big. But I spend a great deal of my day running from meeting to meeting so I want an easy crossbody to carry my notepad, agenda, phone, essentials, etc. while I'm on the go. I went to LV today thinking I was going to get a speedy b25 and/or neo noe but then I saw the Mick PM and decided a messenger bag is perfect. Problem is, I can't decide which one I like.

These are my top choices. Sorry for the crappy pics. The lights are kinda low in the LV store. Which do you prefer between LV & Gucci? I really like the Mick PM and love the damier graphite even though it's a men's bag. I wear a lot of black so it works. Plus I love that the graphite is more low key. I didn't see the Dayton reporter in the store but it looks like a great bag. On the Gucci side, I love the messenger with the patches, especially with the web strap. But I wonder if I would get tired of the patches. What do you all think? I normally lean towards LV but I want to branch out






Thanks!

I think the one you were wearing is a mick mm. Anyway I think the gucci with patches looks best on you.

I'm going to have to check the size on the mick and make sure I get the PM. I'm only 5'1" so everything seems to look big on me. I'm leaning towards the Gucci with the patches. It's so different and fun

I really like the Gucci messenger ones. I would go for the Gucci supreme (the first picture without the patches). Although, I do love the patches, for me personally it would draw too much attention to myself.

I prefer the lv mick. I would not do the patches one for work.

The LV one suites you better. It looks versatile on you

The LV Mick. Not only is it the most versatile but in my experience damier canvas is extremely durable (a good quality for a daily wear bag),

i love the beige/black with red/green fabric web. It looks more serious. it can be dressed up or down, casual or formal. It`s a timeless Gucci piece, and will never go out of fashion. The Damier Graphite is ok, but I`m not a big fan of it. It`s a bit dull and "flat" . The GG/web is more lively, and gives a nice contrast to any outfit.

I would choose Gucci. Their quality has always been excellent and lately L V has not been so good.
