Decisions, decisions!
Within the next two weeks, I intend to splurge on one new good bag. Its primary purpose is to be a work bag but I will use it away from work as well. I've narrowed the choices down to two: the Ultradior in dark green or the Louis Vuitton Pont Neuf GM in black empreinte. (note: in the past year, I already bought the Gucci Boston Supreme bag in the Tian pattern and a Jimmy Choo Sweetie bag in a lovely metallic plum fade...so I have both the casual and dressy bag bases covered). I also have the LV Trevi PM, a BV Olimpia (larger version) in black, and a Fendi DemiJour in black croc effect with (faux) tortoiseshell trim, plus a few Prada bags in cervo/Vitello Daino.
Comparison:
The Ultradior is a gorgeous color. It's beautifully made. Has a zip top. Downsides: no inside pockets.
Price (Swiss francs, since I live in Switzerland): 2150
The PontNeuf GM is also beautifully made, I love the empreinte leather. It's a more "serious" work bag, which is both good and bad. It's slightly larger than the Ultradior. Has zip top, outside and inside zipped pocket. Plus shoulder strap. The top handles don't fold down, but when I tried on the GM, they didn't bother me -- they didn't stick into my armpits for example.
Price: 2700 Swiss francs
Complication: If I go for the less expensive Ultradior (I won't call it cheaper ), I'll have enough left over to purchase this gorgeous LV Baroque stole.
Thoughts? I know I'm posting on the Dior board, so maybe this is a biased crowd, but there are plenty of TPF members who like both brands.... all input appreciated!!
