So I wanted to post this here to try and get an unbiased opinion versus posting in one particular sub-forum, plus more people might see this. The thing is, I am in quite a pickle and torn between two bags.
I have a list of bags I've always wanted (who doesn't?) and on that list are the Celine nano and the Balenciaga velo. I recently purchased a Celine nano in cobalt and while I love it, I still find myself torn between keeping it, or returning it for the Balenciaga velo in vert jade. I've weighed the pros and cons (price, usage, is it a worthy investment?) and I still can't make up my mind! I don't carry a lot on me, so it's not a question of size. I think a lot of my uncertainty and inability to make up my mind comes from the worry that the nano won't hold its value. I do intend to use this bag every day, as I've been wanting a lightweight crossbody. I do take care of my bags and baby them, but the nano did already have some scratches on it when I purchased it (the SA told me that it probably came from people handling it and I could try to buff them out, I haven't tried yet). I have a Balenciaga city and a Celine mini luggage, so it's not a question of expanding my collection. I have been agonizing over this, which seems rather silly in retrospect, but I would love some input and help so I can finally make up my mind!
