Honestly, if I didn't think I had to carry everything, and the kitchen sink, I'd buy the Gucci. Not, that I don't love the YSL, but it seems dressy. I just don't dress up anymore. Jeans, a jacket, and loafers are going to be my go to this fall. (Assuming that it ever cools down.) So, maybe that's what you should ask yourself, because they are both darling. Which fits more your lifestyle. Also, just me, I think black bags are more limiting. Saying that, it is a matter of your hair and skin tones and what kinds of color you tend to wear.

The YSL would be tan, they just didn’t have the color..
But you have a good point, it’s more dressy

Hi guys, hopefully someone will help me with my decision. I am looking to buy a 1955 Horsebit bag in the next few months but I can't decide whether to get the black leather or the brown canvas. I've been wanting to get the black leather one for a while, as I thought it would be timeless, but recently have been more and more drawn to the canvas as it looks more interesting. I'm going to be using the bag for day use and therefore my decision will come more down to wear and tear. In the long run, which one will wear better? I'm more worried about stratches with the black leather (although I don't mind a bit of wear and tear but I don't want a bag that easily creases or dents).

I think someone had a similar dilemma within this thread.

I went for the more colourful Baiadera striped velvet because I have so many classic looking bags, whichever you get, brown canvas or plain black it will be classic, obviously the canvas will be more casual and more day-appropriate whereas the black can be a casual evening bag too.

Hello,

I loved the black leather horsebit mini but my SA recommended based on my lifestyle to go with the canvas and I’m so happy I did, I love it! The leather is super nice but if your concern are creases and scratches and you don’t really “baby” your bags then stick with canvas.

Hope this helps!
 
Did you guys have any issues with leather peeling on the mini bag? I bought this brand new fron lord and taylor website and the leather has creases, same with the strap, like it’s going to peel after sometime. I really love this bag and would hate it if I’ll get issues in the future.

Hi everyone!
I was also hoping someone could help me with a bag decision. I am currently looking for a nice mini brown bag to add to my collection (specifically a top handle). So, it came down to two - The LV Alma BB in Damier Ebene canvas or The Gucci Horsebit 1955 Mini Top Handle in brown canvas. I am having a hard time choosing which one I should buy because both have pros and cons. I love the Gucci one because it has this casual versatility to it and can be easily paired with outfits but I feel like it's overpriced since the price increase. Whereas the Alma BB DE is also super cute, reasonably priced, and equally as versatile however I feel like everyone has it.

What are your thoughts? Which bag should I get? :confused1:

In this instance I would go with lv. It’s a classic, iconic bag in a classic print. Only issue I personally have with Alma bb is strap is too long for me. But it may not be issue for you.

This is the one Gucci bag that I would put over every YSL bag I own. I have been eying this bag for months and finally got to see it at the Gucci store in Las Vegas. If not for the price, I would have bought it on the spot. The YSL is nice too. I would be worried that the smooth leather would scratch easily.

The Gucci in this color and pattern is just outstanding!
