Between the DE Clapton backpack in Scarlet color (I believe this color combination only released in Asia) and the DE Croisette, which one do you think looks better and more practical?

I like to use it as an everyday bag.

I currently own couple Chanel Classic Flaps that I use for evenings and dressy occasions.
I have these LV bags that I use everyday as well.
- Empreinte Noir MPA
- Empreinte Scarlet Felicie
- Monogram Pochette Métis
- Monogram Noir Odeon MM
- Damier Ebene Speedy B25

Thank you.

I have both, I would pick the Croisette. The croisette is very small, more of mini bag, but the clapton is fussy -- it has too many straps, it sits quite low down, even on a shorter length, and it doesn't look good carried by hand. Of course it holds much more. The corners also get worn quite fast because they have very sharp edges. I bought my Clapton (in the red) from resale in the US -- I didn't realize it was perhaps just an Asia release. Anyway, the croisette also holds value-- I've received quotes on my croisette and they have always been quite high and the clapton retains very little value, I was recently quoted 900 for it from Yoogis and the croisette nearer to 1200. They are still making the croisette which also speaks to continued popularity I think. Just points to consider.

Thanks for your feedback and gkad to hear you like the Clapton backpack. I’m actually leaning toward the Clapton backpack a little more because of the color combo.
Yah, that color way is gorgeous. I would of loved that one had it been available. I have the beige cream version. Really is a great and practical bag. I know it can be tough deciding. GLD

I have both bags and love both equally. They are very diff bags with diff vibes. The backpack is casual and holds more. The croisette holds less and it can be worn casually/formal occasion.
 
I have almost the same LV bag collection as you:
- Empreinte Scarlet Felicie
- Monogram Pochette Métis
- DE Noir Odeon MM
- Plus a few others
I have the Clapton backpack in the creme and love it. I wear it as a crossbody which looks a little dressier but have switched it up as a backpack for a more casual look. I love the red and DE combination. Good luck deciding!
