popincourt haute or batignolles horizontal

I have both in house right now (my batignolles) and the other I gave to my grandmother. They are both great bags, I'd say the only thing would be if you like zippers or not. I like to just shove stuff into the horizontal, but the haut is more secure

 

I think the haut, only because of those cute little balls on the zip tab I like the shape of the horizontal more though!

 

i agree with noriko...

i have a popincourt haut and thought about getting a batignolles, and looks-wise they are both equal to me...i think it's more about style, as far as zippers vs. open larger vs. smaller, etc.

 

my mom has the popincourt haut and i have the horizontals, so i've tried lugging around both of them. by far, i prefer the horizontals because it's roomier and the shape is much nicer (and, i might add, not so extensively copied as the hauts). but noriko's right. if you wouldn't feel secure without a zipper, then you'd better go for the haut. seriously though, both LOVELY bags with versatility - can be taken anywhere!

 

Lookwise - haut.

 

I chose the Horizontal because I wanted a bag big enough to tote work files to meetings offsite. I think the BH is perfect for that. The Haute is quite a bit smaller.

 

I think its big enough but it depends what you're lugging to work. I tried to use it as a school bag but found that it was too small

 

The Haut.. cause it's got balls !

I don't hate the batignolles vertical, but it just doesn't hold that appeal for me, I much prefer the vertical verson, or even the little original batignoles

 

I had the same dilemma...First I purchased the popincourt and left it sitting in its dust cover for a few days. Ultimately, the batignolles horizontal won out and I exchanged it. What a great decision! The batignolles goes better with my personal style, and it is sooo roomy that I've even got room for my boyfriend's junk!

 

I prefer the design of the Haute.
