Opinions? I really want a cute bag I can take on vacations with me, that’s casual but can be dressed up if I need to go out to a nice dinner etc. so I don’t want it to be too huge, but I want it to be able to carry what I need. At home I usually alternate between the alma and Bloomsbury pm, I never go bigger than that. I’d be interested in the caramel neonoe and I’m considering both canvas and black versions of montsouris bb. I’m not worried about vachetta since I use apple garde, but I’m not sure if the canvas version is dressy enough. Anyone have opinions on this or can speak to the wear and tear of these bags?

What bags/styles do you currently own? What are you looking for/what do you want to get out of your purchase?

Neonoe is my favorite style, but there are times when having a small crossbody/backpack are better.

I own an alma, neverfull, and Bloomsbury. I also own some other small Gucci bags. I guess I’m looking for a cute small vacation bag
 
If you want a bag that’s good for carrying a lot of things while on vacation, neonoe. It fits under an airplane seat too. If you want something fun, cute, and packable in your carryon, montsouris bb.

I would think about how you currently use bags when you travel, and which bag fits your travel approach better. Since you already have a range of bag sizes, I don’t think either one is a bad size choice. If you get Neonoe, bring one of your small Guccis with you. If you get Montsouris BB, use Neverfull as the workhorse travel bag.

This was helpful thanks!
 
I would pick the backpack. If you are going to use it for traveling a top closure may help with security and the neonoe seems kind of bulky. I have neonoe and rarely use it because I feel like I will bumb into things wearing it..If you are not set on these bags maybe the Odeon pm or mm or the boulonge. No vachetta to worry about and nice crossbody bags for traveling…I have the Odeon mm in noir and it’s a favorite…..
