Hello!

Sorry for my bad English, I haven't use English for a while but I'll try my best :)

I'm wondering which handbag will be best for me. I currently have a little black bag, very similar to this:https://poshmark.com/listing/NWT-Victorias-Secret-Rectangular-Crossbody-Bag-588262b056b2d645a4011af6

I carry it every day but it's too little for me. I can only fit my iPhone 6s and a wallet.

I want to fit more than that: keys, charger, tissues, some lip balm. So now I want to buy better and bigger bag, that I can use every day, in all weather conditions, and that will hold for many years.

I wonder about:
1. Gucci Soho Disco,
2. Chloe Tess
3. LV Pochette Metis in black Monogram Empreinte Leather.

There is difference in price between those three bags and I want to buy a bag that is really worth the money.

I really love Chloe Tess, but I'm not sure how it will feel after 5 or 10 years, can the style become outdated? How is the quality if you compare with other ones? Gucci Soho has the best price, it feels more "sporty" and universal but again - how is the quality? LV looks nice also inside with many pockets, but is the most expensive - maybe not worth it at all?
I'm not sure If I want to sell the bag later, but it's not impossible.

Which one is the most durable, practical and timeless? Which one goes best with different styles? I used to wear comfortable, sporty clothes.

I live in a small society, people here are just casual, no fashion at all :) so I don't want to stick out too much :D.

Thanks for help :)
 
Välkommen! :wave:
I think the Pochette Metis has great leather that can take a beating. I think the Metis will probably keep it's value the best.
Disco is also lovely, it's not as easy to keep organized as the Metis because Metis has the compartments. Then again, Disco will go from day to night no problem, whereas Metis is more of a daytime bag in my opinion.

If you have the chance to see the bags in person, I recommend you do. Then you'll be able to also see how your things can fit in them. YouTube also has a million reviews on both.
 
LV has wonderful quality and they stand behind their product should anything go wrong, which seems to be an important consideration for you. Not sure about the other brands you mentioned. Also, the PM is stunning! The PM gets my vote.
