I'm a working mom that dresses pretty casual. I've been carrying small crossbody bags lately which includes my ps1 pouch and Gucci disco bag. For a larger bag, I carry my LV epi petite noe which is another casual bag. I'm looking for a bag that is more structured, that can carry more than my crossbodies, and can elevate my casual attire. I love the Celine belt, Givenchy Antigona, LV alma pm, and LV brea mm. Also, most of my bags are dark blue so I want either a black bag or a bag with a pop of color. Maybe both? Need your opinions my fellow TPF'rs!
Need help choosing a new bag! (LV, Celine, Givenchy...)

Nice picks all of them! I personally prefer the Celine over the others, the celine to me is more unique and chic without being too dressy. It looks good, with office wear but also casual clothes. Seems to me to hold more stuff than the alma since the alma shape tapers.
Black or pop of colour? Black is always a safe card, but i prefer bags with colour since a little pop of colour can lift your outfit from 0 to 100.
If you are able to I would get a black and and a coloured bag or may a suggest a black bag with a contrast colour on the outside or on the lining

i pick between the celine belt and the antigona.
the thing about the belt is i don't really like the leather tassels, and i only like the bag in black and not in other colour

I vote for the Belt bag for sure. It's a great size and has a classic shape that you can use for a long time. The design isn't too trendy or too boring.
I vote for the Alma but with the detachable strap as well! I'm a bit biased as I have a black Epi Alma PM, but it's a great, classic bag. I highly recommend the detachable shoulder/crossbody strap if you go with the Alma PM since it makes it much more versatile.
The Belt for sure. I briefly had an Antigona and found that it jutted out too much--it was very awkward on public transportation, in particular. It also didn't feel sophisticated to me. The Belt is more subtle, but that's my taste.
Thank you everybody for your input! I love the belt but it's also a harder bag to find. I already have a trapeze so that may be too similar. I'm now debating between the Antigona and Alma. I love how the Antigona has an edgier look and love the classic look of the Alma. Still can't decide but at least I've narrowed it down to two!
Im probably in a minority but I love the Antigona.
I have an Alma in the usual mongram and carry it by hand mostly even though I have a long strap because its more comfortable that way.
Let us know what you decide
