Which Marcie?

[mamabenny]

Calling all Marcie experts!!
I'm trying to decide between Marcie Hobo and Marcie Tote- any thoughts please??

Hi Mama, I haven't ever seen the hobo but certainly love my tote. Can really recommend it.

 

[mamabenny]

What height are you blue? Is the medium the size of Mulberry Annie or larger ?

Mamabenny,

I initially wanted a hobo but ended up with a satchel. So glad I did. They both look lovely on the shelf, but I think the satchel looks better on. It can be worn on the shoulder or the arm, which is not the case with the hobo. I have the large satchel and it holds *a lot* while still being smooshy and holding enough of its shape to look unique and show the design (I can put my small MacBookPro in along with wallets, little bags, etc.). Since the hobo does not unzip all the way across the top, I think although it is large it is harder to get more stuff in. I also thought when it was my shoulder you could not see the front detailing as much and some people have reported a problem with the sides of the hobo flap wrinkling, which I have even seen on one in the store. Of course, you can see I have a bias for the satchel, which I love.

What colour are you thinking of...???

 

[mamabenny]

Ash - I think it would be a good colour for Autumn/winter

Marcie hobo imo

I have a small satchel MB but I think the Hobo is equally lovely and would love one at some point. I don't know enough about the tote to comment.

Sorry, but I don't have any. KDO and mona_danya both have great pics of the satchel in these threads:

I can't remember which thread now, but it does seem like someone has posted mod pics of a hobo at one time (red?).

Thanks for the links Safa

Corries-Maybe I'm using the wrong term with "tote"- I meant choosing between a two handle (like your gorgeous one) vs 1 handle bag

 

[kdo]

I'm a satchel girl and love my tote. I find it much more user friendly in that I can access everything I need while carrying the bag.

 

[mona_danya]

I have the two handle tote in the medium size and LOVE IT...I recently saw the hobo in person while in Orlando Neiman Marcus and it was cute but not as much a statement bag as the tote.

 

[mamabenny]

Thanks for all the advice. Hoping to check out Marcie IRL by end of week. Local dept store got ash and tan in a few days ago

I vote for the satchel! But depends on what you are using it for. I find that satchel is more formal looking. I also thought the marcie suits a structured design better, so i am for the satchel!
