Hello everyone
Newbie here who just started joining Purseblog and this thread today.
Been reading a lot of great responses here! I'm wondering if I can get some help deciding on the color(s) for my first ever
Polène bag? Would really appreciate everyone's input!!
I currently use a LV Monogram Canvas crossbody (similar to the Tournelle MM, the actual style of my bag had been discontinued) as my everyday bag for all seasons. It's big, roomy, and can fit my 15" laptop with some minor manoeuvring. It's brown, so largely works with most of my wardrobe. But I'm itching to switch out of this bag to something a bit smaller.
Right now, I think I will get the
Numero Un Nano in taupe, since I don't own any bags that are light color and compact that I can use in the summer, and I gather that taupe can also work in winter.
But...I'm also in love with the Nano in black (textured leather) and cognac (textured leather). Yet I don't know if I can justify buying 3 purses of the same style at once right now?
I've gone through my rather small purse collection to help decide:
- LV Speedy 30 in Monogram Canvas - super old, but still in good condition to use
- 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli bag in Black - Purchased this with the intention of it being my 'it' everyday black bag. But it was so heavy even when I didn't put much into it, that I got shoulder aches every time. So now I'm short of an everyday black bag, though magically managed to substitute it over the last 2 years with a linen tote bag and...
- YSL wallet on chain crossbody in black - I use this occasionally and only when I'm certain I have small amount of extra stuff to carry in the linen tote bag
I don't really like carrying a linen tote bag in addition to a purse or a WOC, since I'm quite petite (5'1 here), so getting the Nano in black does seem like a sound purchase. But the cognac color is just such a lovely rich color, and seems like the perfect, smaller replacement of my current LV everyday crossbody.
What do you guys think?
