Saint Laurent College, Envelope, or Becky? Please help me decide :)

[SystarSystem]

Hi, I'm trying to decide between the:
College medium in asphalt SHW,
Envelope medium in possibly dark beige GHW, or
Becky small in dark beige SHW

I'm looking for an everyday bag to carry a small wallet/card holder, phone, spray bottle hand sanitizer, sunglasses, keys, and sometimes ear buds.

I live in a tropical climate and mostly wear tank tops and shorts, so I'm not sure if that should play into my decision.

I've been considering the college the longest and love the asphalt color. I've done more research on the envelope though and would ideally get it in a grey similar to asphalt but the SL website doesn't list a cool grey as an option. I only just noticed the Becky and have read a useful thread on here about it. The current sale price for the Becky doesn't hurt I also like the double strap option of the Envelope and Becky.

I'm paralyzed by choice and would love to read your thoughts!

I got the medium envelope earlier this year and did not get a chance to use it due to covid etc. I have a toy lou lou at home and to me the envelope feel more stiff. But it also depend on your lifestyle. If i got to choose again I think would have picked the college.

definitely depends on your lifestyle an when you would wear them...the becky and envelope are more structured and look dressy/formal and college a little more everyday. But if i wear to pick it would be the College

Thanks! Do you mean you would have picked the college over the medium envelope, the toy lou lou, or both?

Thank you! Forgot to mention this would be an everyday weekend bag. My lifestyle pre covid is that of a mom with a young kid who would like to look pulled together and possibly hopefully somewhat edgy while out and about, usually just running errands or grabbing a bite to eat

I would pick it over the envelop. I’m a mother of a toddler, and I love the Lou Lou toy. I feel is easy to get things in and out. Fit my ysl 6 keys holder, two mask, b&bw hand sanitizer, lip balm, my kids epipen ( lucky we got a small one). And birdie (for safety)

Since you would like to use your bag everyday, would you prefer it to be more carefree? For me, I would gravitate more towards the envelope because of the more durable grained leather. I have a Saint Laurent grained leather wallet and I don't worry too much about that bad boy because it's near indestructible. I have the Becky chain wallet and I tend to baby it because it's lambskin and I don't use it everyday because I don't want it to show too much wear.

Yes carefree would be ideal! Good to know that their grained leather is so hardy! I've heard mixed things about the leather used for the college - some say it wears easily and others say it's carefree..

I visited a boutique today to see the Becky small, mini, and woc in person. The Becky is pretty big and spacious. The SA thought the small was a medium until she checked the card! Both the small and mini looked too big on me (5'4") and the woc was too small to fit the things I need.

So I guess my debate on which bag to get now is one that a lot of other people have had.. medium college or medium envelope leaning towards college because it looks a lot more casual, esp with the antiqued silver.
