Anyone want to help me choose ? Never purchased anything in Miami green, but was contemplating either Gaston or outdoor messenger . Anyone have an opinion? Also would be interested in hearing how the outdoor messenger holds up as I’ve seen some with wear on the leather corners and creasing on the leather too . Any help would be much appreciated : )

I love the Miami green color 💚!!
It's such a great spring shade and I love that in combination with pink. I find the Outdoor messenger super in weight and capacity. Since it's a men's style, if you're under a specific height, you may find the strap a bit long. It is roomy and the zippers and pulls are thick plus the design is pretty much weather-proof. Here's mine in fuchsia color from a few years back. I hope you can find that green color, it was seasonal !

Thank you travelbliss! That fuchsia looks amazing . Have you had any issues with wear on the corners ?
There are 2 "stress points" on the front of the bag, above the zipper. I guess it's where the canvas is folded, and if the taigarama canvas is dark or bright like mine, it starts to fade. It's noticeable in this picture, but the canvas is not scratched or blemished as I'm super careful when I carry the bag. It doesn't deter me from using it.
Ok thank a for posting the pic . Still beautiful and agree would not deter me from carrying either : )
I don't own either, but the Outdoor Messenger would be top of my list, and was on my list for awhile! Was just limited by budget and too many other competing wants from LV
I'd wanted it in the exact pink that @travelbliss shows, thank you for sharing the pics and about the pressure point! What I've liked when trying this style on in different colours, is that it can fit some small umbrella models, and a drink bottle- so it's a great size for all weather, as mentioned. Yet it's pretty lightweight and comfortable, and the shoulder strap is broad. The Miami Green is stunning! Good luck deciding and let us know what you end up picking!
Thank you bagsamplified! Funny Yoogi’s recently had the pink one and I almost went for it but I’m a true turquoise lover so decided to wait . I really like the size and functionality of the outdoor messenger too. One thing that had me holding off at first was the strap and the fact that it’s not detachable but I’m past that now. Wonder why the mens line gets all the cool colors? The fuchsia and Miami green are both so beautiful. Thanks again for your input : )I don't own either, but the Outdoor Messenger would be top of my list, and was on my list for awhile!

On a side note there’s not much love for Gaston in the poll lol . I think the little pouch draws us in tho . Definitely leaning toward the outdoor messenger atm
I have the Miami Green Outdoor Messenger and love it! It is so great for travel..passports, and stuff you need for a day of travel. I have never carried it when someone didn’t compliment on how pretty it is. I am pretty small so to me it is a bag on the bigger size of what I like for an everyday bag. I don’t have any wear and tear on mine and it has been on 3 cruises with me. I love how the bag carries very comfortably on my shoulder but do not like it crossbody because of the wider strap.
Omg you and your Miami green look fabulous ! Thanks for posting your amazing pics and thank you for your input ! Ps love the t shirt and sunnies too!
Think Elton would approve of your YK sunnies!!
