Hi!
so for months i've been searching for a bigger bag
I've loved Givenchy Antigona for nearly a year but hear that it's heavy and awkward with the shoulder
I love the givenchy lucrezia but can't find it and 3K too expensive for me!

I've looked at Gucci Swing- sitting on the fence currently
Lv neverfull, too many logos

Thinking about the balenciaga city bag (its growing on me)

Would like it to have:
Handles and shoulder strap -(adjustable)
zip (if possible)
Max $2500


hahah or should i just get the Givenchy antigona!!:p

Mulberry Willow or Kensington? The smaller Willows have a shoulder strap and the Kensington has both a long strap and short handle in all the sizes.
LV does make the Neverfull in epi leather as well, if the logos on the canvas versions turn you off.

how about Reed Krakoff? I saw that some people here had liked the bags they had bought from them.

You could also try to find a used Chanel Cerf Tote, those also seem to have positive reviews.

I think a Bal city would be too small for you. Also, the shoulder strap is short and not adjustable. Don't get me wrong, I love my city bags, but don't think it would work for you.

If you want Bal, what about a Velo?

velo looks quite cool, but not sure if my style is that edgy!
i'm short so a short strap is great
:D

thanks for your response !
unfortunately chanel isn't for me!

Reed krakoff looks cool
but definitely been leading towards mulberry
what do you think about the baywater!

Def a goer! A classic at birth, spaceous and stylish plus great quality - now even better, I've been hearing.
The classic Bayswater doesn't really work carried over the shoulder unless you have pretty thin arms. There are several different Bays styles, like the Double Zip and the Buckle, I recommend going to the store to check them out. Some of the new models do have a long strap so you'll have more carrying options. :yes:

The Kensington is an awesome bag and comes in 2 sizes...with a shoulder strap!

live in melbourne so finding places to buy bags is hard!
i just can't seem to find one i'm in love with
my main use would be for uni and sleeping at others
otherwise i'd like a bag that would fit: wallet, phone, keys (maybe sunnies) and jumper due to weather changes
so maybe the 2 jour is for me, just black seems to formal.
hahah perhaps i'm too content with a longchamp-- just so durable and reliable!

If you're a Longchamp gal then howz about a Le Pliage Cuir? I love mine. Even more versatile than the nylon ones because of the short handles&long strap.
The Medium can carry your everyday essentials AND it will double as an overnight bag. I've taken mine on day trips, longer travels, dinner dates with friends etc etc.
It never looks out of place and the slouch means the bag looks great half empty or stuffed full. Totally recommend it! :tup:
