Shall I get the LV Hudson PM or Manhattan PM

I have the hudson and I really love it. It's so practical with the shoulder strap, and yet it still has a designer edge to it that's different from the other monogram bags. I get lots of compliments on my bag and find that I use this the most because it's so easy to use.

I had a hard time decided between those two, but ended up getting the Hudson. I prefer a shoulder strap, but I do buy handbags, too. It's best to go to the LV boutique and ask the SA if you can put your items into each bag because you're having trouble deciding between the two. This is what I did. The Hudson allows you to see/find everything in your bag. The Manhattan PM doesn't open wide enough for me. What I liked about the Manhattan that I don't like about the Hudson is the size of the two pockets. The Manhattan pockets are bigger and I could fit my cellphone into them. I can't fit my phone into the exterior pockets on my Hudson bag, but I tried my sister's phone and hers fit. If you have a long wallet you may have a problem with the Manhattan PM. Both of these bags are expensive. I think you should compare side by side and try them on for size before making a decision.


I did compare them side by side over the weekend, but yet, I still can't decide:laugh:. The SA told me that if she were to pick either one of themn, she would pick the Manhattan since the Hudson has a big buckle like the Theda and it makes it very inconvenient to open it..oh well. But thanks for your advice and congrats to be the proud owner of Hudson;)

I agree, it is a beautiful bag, you should be proud.

I agree. The Hudson is the one I always return to after a few days. I get compliments every time I use it. As far as the buckle and being able to get in and out easily - the first day or so I would look at the buckle when opening and closing it, now it's 2nd nature to open/close without looking and with one hand. Even a Speedy zipper takes two hands at certain angles.
 
Definatly the Manhattan PM. I almost bough this bag myself several times, then I ended up getting the MJ Blake bag which is very similar looking, so I decided that I didn't need both.
 
I want the Manhattan too! BUT I can't decide on which size, and I have the MJ venetia in bright pink. Is it too much overkill to get the same style in monogram and bright pink?
