Popincourt Haut Versus Batignolles Horizontal

[mmason]

I know there is a similar thread about this topic but my question is a little different. This will be my first LV so I want to make sure I make the right buy, and I have narrowed it down to these two. I am a little concerned with the wear and tear of both of them. Can anyone share there thoughts on this subject? I am a little scared if the BH is over stuffed, will the bottom sag, etc. Thanks so much for any advice!

everybody talks about how the BH is one of the best LV bags. in the other thread, BH won by a landslide!

I had the popincourt bag and while it is cute those little balls on the end banged together all the time and drove me nuts! I actually bought the batignolles vertical and I really like it! Its similar in size to the popincourt but seems a little sturdier IMO.

Nope the BH does not sag even if you over stuff it.
It's a great everyday bag and would make a wonderful first LV!

I had the popincourt bag ...

Ditto!!! The little balls drove me crazy. kling klang, urgh. Let's just say you cannot sneak up to anyone wearing this bag
But it is just as sturdy as the batignolles IMO.

I have no problem with my BV sagging when its overfull!

you get a zipper w/ the PH =]

I think BH would be a nice first bag, esp. if you like to carry a lot. I still think PH is cute, but it's not very pretty if you overstuff it.

When it comes down to it, it depends on how much you carry, and how you will use it.

Thank you all so much for your replies and suggestions. I am going to go ahead and go with my first pick the BH. Thanks again for the help.

I have the BH and love it. I don't have any problems with it sagging. I do wish it had a zipper though.

I know the PH has a zipper but I don't think it's as large as the BH.

Popincourt is too small imo and I don't like the little brass balls that was the first thing that turned me off to to this cute bag. I don't have the Batignolles yet because I can't decide if the no zipper thing would bother me. if I had a choice I would choose the Batignolles over the Popincourt simply because it has more appeal advantage to it.

Have you tried them on at a store? I was flipping between these two pieces, and then when I tried both on the BH won by a landslide. It's just a better bag for my size, what I carry and such. The PH is significantly smaller than the BH

I have a PH...love it! Waiting for it to get a bit darker, I am nervous about the vachetta getting dirty. I can tell you that when I have placed my PH on the floor or seat of my car, the balls drive me nuts! But they are so cute, so I deal with it....Good luck!
