Poll:Geant Cougar,BV, or Roxbury? Need Photoshop Savvy pp!

[Classic Chic]

OK, I need to get a shoulder bag for my LV collection, but was torn between:

Damier Geant Cougar(inspired by Karman's post)<--can double as school and weekend bag, no vachetta, but snug shoulder fit. Can anyone post a pix of you holding it? Can i use straps?
BV<--everyday work horse bag, but don't dig the vachetta
Vernis Roxbury Pomme/Perle(thanks to arnott and twiggers' post)<--it's Pomme, need i say more?


they are all around the same price range, but i was wondering can any photoshop savvy pp do a pix of Perle and Pomme Roxbury w/patina, you know, like the one we saw for Azur? i really like the contrast of naked vachetta w/Pomme, but not sure if i will love it the same after the vachetta starts to patina....i like my vachetta light. On the other hand, i think i will like Perle Roxbury after the vachetta starts to patina, however, i already have a Chanel white patent leather bag, also the color transfer scares me...... Experts, what do you think?

I chose the Damier Geant. I put it on my shoulder and it worked fine... but I dont carry things on my shoulder unless there is a strap...

I guess it depends on what you're going to use the bag for ?

if the vachetta of the BV is going to bother then it will bother you with the vernis roxybury.

But again i guess it depends on what your plans are for this bag?

I have tiny wrist, so i can fit my hand in the oval opening of Roxbury fine instead of grabbing it from top, KWIM? also the strap will be worn messenger style for me, so i don't touch it that much anyway. I worry about BV's strap b/c i have narrow shoulders(had an 'accident' w/it as some of you might recall), so i have to keep touching the vachetta strap to put it back on my shoulder. Geant Cougar, i can use it for school, perhaps weekend bag/carry on, though i rarely travel these days.....

Keep your votes comming!

Matt-how long is the strap? there's none for me to see in store, and SA said it's a short handle, so more of a snug fit...it will really help to see it on pp's shoulder ^^

Here are a few pics

It looks fairly large enough. If it fit on me ( and I have bigger arms than you do) it will fit on you for sure!

as you see, its VERY roomy and I just absoutely LOVE it!



I plan on buying it one day!

Matt~>>>hugs<<< Thank you a bunch for posting the close shots!!!! It's more duarble than BV for sure, but do you think it can stand the weight of college text books? my backpack weights aprox 2 BoML book....sry i don't have a scale w/me, but i think it's about that heavy.

 

[Mattd7474]

OMG YES! Geant uses the same material to climb mountains!! if it can hold a persons body weight, it can hold books! lol

your set!

I would get the Damier Geant Cougar.

Not my best, but here ya go:

 

[twiggers]

Well I own the BV & the Pomme Roxbury. Use wise...I'll get more use out of my BV because it is more of an everyday tote that goes with everything, whereas my Pomme Roxbury I see myself being more careful with it (because of Vernis) and more careful with the colors I wear with it. BUT I still vote Roxbury....it can be handheld or shoulder, dressy or casual!

 

[twiggers]

Thanks for the pics of patina on the bags John. I really don't think it'll look bad with patina!

I like the damier geant.

I also tried it I need to practice my Photoshop skill.ush:
I hope it looks like the darker orange patina

Actually Roxbury has less leather, so it shouldn't bother too much if it gets patina.

Lovely "faux patina" pics, John and Ilovepurse007

And Matt, thank you for posting those Cougar pics!
