I have the same problem. I want small de bag, but I don't like Evas big plate, I find it very Marc Jacobs thing. He did same kind of plates in his own collection too..
I have both the pochette nm in DE and the Eva in DE, and I've found they both serve different purposes.
The pochette is best for carrying small items in a larger bag and having for those last minute, grab and go situations. Mainly I use it to carry my wallet, keys, and other items to the gym without having to lug my full work bag in, but have also used it for last minute drinks, or small midday errands. I do feel more self conscious using the pochette as a handbag, because it reminds me of the 90s super trend when these types of bags were really "hot"-- so I try to make sure I only use this bag for casual situations and usually never use the shoulder strap, but instead use it as a wristlet.
The Eva is more of a real handbag. I use her as a clutch, casual handbag, and hands free crossbody, depending on the event that I'm going to. I used to bring the Eva on trips as my main travel clutch, but now I mainly use my woc for this purpose. The Eva is great because it can be easily dressed up or down, and can masquerade as an evening bag, if need be. I have had some small hairline scratches on the front plate (I didn't baby her!), but I think she still looks great!
I hope that helps you with your dilemma!

I think fashionphe has one. Not much cheaper. I remember I saw it and didn't think much of it eventhough I want one.
Thanks, I just looked and you are right, they do have a few. It is in my price range but not sure if I am getting the wow factor from them.

I've been torn between the same two bags for months. I finally made up my mine. I went with the de Eva. I was gonna get the de pochette because I already have the cross body de strap that I use with another bag, but I just think the Eva is so pretty. Now I have two of the same straps but that's okay. I'm happy that I picked the Eva. I think she is so pretty and can be dressy or casual.
I am still so torn. Happy that you like the Eva. Do you carry it as a wallet or put a wallet in there? I think I do like it more since it does look dressier.
Thank you for responding! 😃 would you mind sharing a picture of how it looks?
Sure this picture was just taking a few days ago. I'm wearing the mono pochette with the de strap. I added a LV chain for decoration. By the way in my bag is the Eva I just got.
Wow thanks!! You've convinced me to get it
) I just got the eva for Christmas too! So scared of scratching the gold plate!
I just got my Eva and I will be using my cles as my wallet until I get a zippy coin purse to use inside.
