Which Banana Republic purse?

I LOVE the first one. I saw one in real life in BR last week and it looks great - the washed leather is fabulous. It's also a bit different to the other bags they have done (which I also love) - and it is on my own wish list this spring! Good luck with your decision!
 
I like the second one if you are going for a dressier look. The first one is a little more laid back, denim jeans everyday kinda look.

I agree with you. Both are cute, but the first one seems more slouchy and versatile.

I know I must sound like Debbie Downer, but would you believe that I was only able to find one single item in a huge flagship Banana Republic store that was made in the USA? I know that its not always possible to avoid the "made in China" syndrome, but lately I have been looking at the tag of literally everything I buy...it actually helps me out when I cant decide on something, and I ALWAYS feel better about what Im spending my money on. Okay, Im getting off my soap box now.
