I am looking at both of these shoulder bags in luggage. Which would you prefer?

I couldn't find a good pic of the luggage color on either bag. These pics are more for which style you prefer. TIA!


This is the Austin, but I would be getting the luggage brown color.

or the Layton in luggage?

This is a good pic of the luggage color, but not a bag I am considering.

Maybe I should just order both and return the one I don't pick. :graucho: I hate deciding. I saw the Layton in person last night, but not in luggage. I actually liked it more than I thought I would based on pictures. The Austin looks fun too, but I haven't seen it irl.
 
I like the Layton better. I think the Austin would be too deep -- hard to find things in. And I like the outside pockets on the Layton. I like MK's luggage color. Nice neutral, casual color.
 
I ordered both. :blushing: I will only be keeping one, but it is hard to decide based on just pics. I got the Layton from Zappos, so no tax and free shipping both ways. The Austin was on sale at Overstock with another $10 off and only $2.95 for shipping. I think it was worth it to just get both and return the one I don't love. :laugh:

Now I have 3 MK bags headed my way. Jeez! Good thing I returned a Coach I bought not too long ago to make up for it. I may be doing a cleaning of the closet and selling soon. Haha!

Good for you!!!! CONGRATS!!!! and this way you can play around with both of them in your home and decide which is you love more! I am soooo happy for you! :yahoo: Looking forward to seeing pics (hint hint)....btw I am going to sit and upload pics....soon!!! LOL and I know what you mean.....I was hooked on Coach, too, along with a few other designers and now I am thinking about cleaning out my closet to make room for some more MK!!!!! Right now I only have 2, but that's right now!!! There's always tomorrow............LOLOLOL Congrats again!!!!
 
That Vanilla Austin is made of the SOFTEST leather. It's incredible. And I love that bag in that color. I'm not a fan of the Layton shoulder bag, but I LOVE the satchel. If you're set on a shoulder bag, I would go with the Austin.
 
I got the Layton in and honestly, it's not love. I like the layton satchel better, love it actually, but the satchel is too big for me. The Austin should be here by Friday, so we will see. Hopefully that is the winner. If not, the search will continue.
