I actually like the Dolce and Gabbana one a lot more than the LV, but I voted LV since it was a wait-list item and cheaper than the D & G. I think the Dolce and Gabbana is stunning, but it a trendy bag.
Thanks so much to everyone for their feedback. While the majority seemed to be in favor of saving the dough, I picked up the LV today and fell in love. So the Dolce & Gabbana is going back to NM and I have a nice happy yellow bag for spring. The Pulp bag really is stunning in person; I'm glad it was the favorite choice of all the enablers out there!
normally i would say DG, because its something different. but not only does the LV look more interesting, its also cheaper. glad to see you went with the LV!
