Which bag to buy next?

[mandaluv1119]

I currently have a Jersey with black inset and a Propriano, so larger totes. I'm looking to buy a smaller bag that will still hold my essentials (Victorine-size wallet, sunglasses case, keys, a few other small items... are you starting to understand why I gravitate toward big bags? Haha). I prefer semi-structured styles (not hard-sided, but not slouchy); ability to wear crossbody is a plus. I would prefer a cream or beige color but would consider black if the bag was just right.

I know that's a tall order! I put this in the LV forum because I gravitate to LV but other brand suggestions are welcome too. In an ideal world, I'd probably get a Twist MM but it's a bit out of my price range (unless I could find a good pre-loved one). I'm also looking at the cream empreinte Boite Chapeau Souple (the black vernis is also droolworthy). The Croisette and YSL Lou look like options too.

Thanks in advance!

The Twist is a gorgeous bag. Do you like monogram? If so have you considered the Cluny bb? It's a really nice bag. https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/cluny-bb-monogram-014542
Or maybe a Speedy 25b?

I was just watching YouTube videos of the Cluny BB. It looks like the perfect size. Monogram would complete the canvas trifecta.

The Cluny is my Goldilocks bag. It looks good crossbody, is the perfect size in that it holds enough but not too much. And it's a classic style. I just wish they had made these in DE, too.

I was going to suggest the Cluny. I have it in the MM and it is a great handbag;holds more than what I usually carry daily. I also love the Alma BB because it surprisingly fits more than I imagined. you can also check out the Pochette Metis in empreinte leather.

I’d suggest Alma. A lot of different sizes, print/leather and colors. Now comes with a strap too.

Georges bb if it comes out with more colors? The Black is very pretty though.

I went shopping the other day and realized I only actually like black bags in the size/style I'm looking for. I went to the LV store to poke around and try a few things and fell in love with the Boite Chapeau Souple MM in black empreinte. I didn't get it because I have sticker shock, especially considering that the only other bag currently in contention is the YSL Lou Camera Bag, which is half the price. My hesitation on the Lou was that it just didn't feel... special. It didn't seem any more luxurious to me than the mid-market contemporary brands, which it should for $1300. The BCS is special for sure. (I was originally going to get the Gucci Soho Disco in the rose beige color, but for one kind of silly reason: I'm left-handed and would want to carry the bag on my left side, which would put the tassel in front, which I don't want. It really makes me appreciate that the BCS is symmetrical and even has a double zipper.)
