Gigi looks much more comfy. The Luci is beautiful, but they way it makes your arm stick out would bug me. I think the Luci is more of an arm bag than a shoulder bag.
Just the body of it minus the handles. THANKS so much!
The biggest deciding factor here is the uses of each bag. Gigi is fantastic for work and it can easily be dressed up for a fun, hip outfit. The Luci is a dressier bag and could not serve you well if you need it for work. Your use is what will dictate the tough decision.
Besides this, the vintage leather the Gigi is crafted from will develop a gorgeous patina over time. The Gigi will look better for longer. The more you handle the bag, the natural oils from your hand will rub into the leather to create a gorgeous shine. This can be seen in any "Whiskey" colored bad in the Legacy line. The soft smooth leather the Luci bag is crafted from will show scratches more easily, especially if you do not moisturize your bag occasionally.
Hope this helps!
B.Jara -
Can you confirm that your bag is the walnut GIGI? In looking at the Coach website, the walnut color there looks really dark (almost like a chocolate brown?). Is the walnut a lot like whiskey - or is it really as dark as it looks in the website?
Have them both in hand, so I thought I would post some comparison pictures.
I have pretty much made a decision, but I would love feedback from the pros.
Despite thinking Luci is the most chic Coach bag I have seen in a long time, I think the Gigi is pretty darn cool as well. Due to my height (5'8") and the way that the bags hang on my shoulder (Miss Gigi having wayyy more clearance vs. Ms. Luci) and where they hang to on my body, (Luci is shorter and wider, Gigi is longer and more narrow) I really believe that Gigi is the style best for me. I can't/won't keep both, even if they were different colors.
Also, with the Gigi, I can pick up the bag and swing it on my shoulder with using only one hand. With Luci, it takes two to get it on my shoulder. I have a bag or two now that requires two hands, and it gets annoying while shopping, etc.
OK, enough blabbering...modeling pics will be in the next post.
