I’m so torn between this 2!

Ok let’s start with a little background. I’m looking for a mummy’s bag for running errands and bringing kids to and fro school. Something that can carry wallet, a small uv umbrella, tissue, probably an eco bag and some trinkets that my boys may bring back from school. I was looking all over the internet when saw the Vespa PM and fell in love with it again.

I already have a noir with ghw Picotin, noir with ghw mini Evelyne, bright green phw mini evelyne and a few others trench/ pink/ plum dressier clutches and bags. Which Vespa would you think I should get? Also, I’m suspecting a scratch on the front of the gold on gold vespa which I’m a little worried that cannot be removed. They are +/-200usd difference (noir is a little more exp).

Your inputs are welcome. Thanks!

I still love my evies, but both of them are tpm. I need something not too delicate, easy to get around in and a little bigger when I need more space e.g. for a small umbrella.

I would go with the black. I don't know what the leather is on the gold, but it looks smooth and would be prone to more scratches over time. I love the little chain. This bag was never on my radar, but it's really cute!

Love you Hermes OGs for the valuable inputs!

The Gold indeed is Courchevel. I was leaning more to the gold on gold. But I spotted a scratch on the bag which is bothering me hence I haven’t check it out. I have sent a message to the seller but they didn’t get back to me about it.

Btw, I’m 158cm tall. I’m also a little worried about the length of the strap which may be a little too long for me. But I needed something roomy and allow me to be hands free.

The Gold looks like Courchevel, and it's hard to fix scratches in Courchevel (I also personally just don't like it....it's worse than Epsom IMO). Just on leather alone I'd take the Noir.
I'm guessing the Evelyne PM is too big for you?

I don't think Epsom is better than Courchevel. The B35 Courchevel (my very first from years ago) got totally messed up by me in Amsterdam and was repaired very well by NBS in London. I think there is another YT video detailing how it could be repaired. It is not easy, but I think it could be done well by H spa.

NBS sold me a black Epsom B30 so that I had something to use during my long work trip. That bag (5 years old) looks older than my almost 30 years old Courchevel today.

Edited to add the link to the YT video:
