Prada BN1874
Louis Vuitton Alma PM
Louis Vuitton Twinset
Gucci Disco

The three other bags in my collection (not pictured and not purchased this year) are: Louis Vuitton monogram Speedy 30, Louis Vuitton damier ebene Neverfull MM, and Chanel black WOC. I thought I paired down my collection to eight bags, but after looking, I paired it down to only seven!


Lovely!! Thanks for the pic[emoji4]


I had looked at the Trio when we were in Italy a few months ago (although not in black, which was the color I wanted). After I decided to hold off on getting the Trio, on my continued hunt for a black cross body bag, I stumbled across the Twinset on tPF (I wish I knew about it when we were in Europe because it would have been cheaper if I got it over there). Here were my thoughts after looking at both:

Style: The Trio had the clean, simple look that I wanted. The Twinset was a bit less simple because of the detail on the empreinte leather. Both have a multiple pouch organizational style although the middle, secret compartment of the Twinset only has room for an iPhone. The Trio gets points for versatility because you can snap off a pouch or two to make a clutch. For the Twinset, you have to hide or tuck the strap in a way that a clutch is possible. When we saw the Trio on others, my husband didn't like how it looked when it was full as the pouches could really puff out and separate. When full, the Twinset remains more straight from the side profile and doesn't separate or fan out.

Wear / durability: Both bags have a strap that you cannot detach. I had read reviews of Trio's straps breaking which scared me. The leather on both bags is gorgeous but I felt the empreinte leather would show less wear over time than the soft Trio lambskin. I also had concerns about the snaps that hold the Trio's pouches together and how they would hold up over time.

Both are gorgeous bags and I don't think you could go wrong with either. My main concerns with the Trio were around some reviews I read as to how it wore and Celine's customer service if a repair was needed. Although, on the flip side, the Twinset is a newer bag so perhaps it has issues that will be uncovered with time.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!


Thanks for the in depth comparison and thanks for the q rani. I did consider the large Trio as a contender for my weekend red bag. Had even bought an inspired local version to see if I could downsize my stuff to fit into it.
It's a no go as I discovered I absolutely need all my stuff[emoji28]
Am relieved I went that route as it saved me a couple of thousand quid, plus with the possible issue of snapped strap and wear would have drove me nuts! Though, I wanted the large red in goat skin so wear would not be as much of an issue, compared to lamb skin.
 
1. Proenza Schouler python Pochette in cobalt
2. Ferragamo Sookie in red
3. Reed Krakoff RK40 in cobalt
4. Coach Phoebe in navy
5. Skagen "boston" in tan
6. Dooney & Bourke Florentine satchel in bone
7. Dooney & Bourke Zipzip in mustard
8. Dooney & Bourke Daniela(?) in olive

Hopefully that's it. Everything was purchased on sale except for the Chanel and Hermes. There are a few others I have my eye on, but I'm waiting until the sales at the end of the year...

Pink is year round to me! Go for it if you love it! You may get more use out of the NF vs BB though from what others say. I don't have either though so you may need more opinions.

What a pretty line up of bags. You have to be very happy!!

I also scored the D&B bone satchel. Isn't it wonderful. It's a great bag for such a small (relatively speaking) price.

Also, that Reed Krackoff is really adorable.

Thank you, Sparkletastic! I love the color of the RK. :) I was sorry that his company went under and am hopeful that he will be back eventually. I also have a Boxer and Atlantique, so I'm very happy with my RK collection.

Yay twins! The D&B bone satchel is great. I just love the look of it and it's very comfortable to use. And yes, at a great price! ;) I think D&B bags are very nice quality bags, especially for their price point.

Small update: I did just return 4. Phoebe Coach. I finally went to use it and found that my things didn't fit in it the way I was expecting/hoping them to. Thankfully I was still just within the returns time frame!

I think fuchsia is great for winter - it's a really nice contrast to the long, dark days of the season. :smile1:
