Which mini borough should I keep?

[HarliRexx]

I recently purchased these mini boroughs and I'm feeling like they're too similar to keep both. Here are my thoughts on each bag:

Gold: I prefer these zipper pulls, it's softer and is probably more versatile.


Turnlock chain: I prefer the convenience of the magnet opening for the center section, I like the edgy feel with the chain handles, feels stiffer but may be more durable.


Here is a good comparison of the colors

I actually love both and think they are different enough to keep. If the chain handles doesn't bother you, keep that one. It's unique.

the one on the left looks like rose gold in the picture on my screen
I prefer that one as I don't care for chain handles but that's just me

I vote for the one with the chain handle. I love the hardware color and the black accents...I prefer the edgier feel.

I vote for the turnlock chain because it is different. Does it seem like there is more room in the middle section? It seems like it would be harder to get in and out of the middle zipper on the gold one.

I dislike the chain strap too..... overtime I carry one, I hate it. I do love the look of the gold and black though - also made in a small and large Crosby. I ended up with the large one.

I don't think they are that similar. One is definitely dressier than the other. I love them both!

I love the chain handle! I agree that chain handles aren't comfortable to carry but if you are going to be using the long strap, then I would go with that one. I also love the crackle finish. On the gold, I don't care for the color of the handles. It seems mismatched.

I think you should keep both! They are different enough to me, but that's just me. I have the metallic turnlock chain borough myself and love it so I'd have to say that's the one I'd keep out of the two if I had to choose. It's my favorite bag right now !

I have bad lighting in most of my house, but yeah it does tend to look like more of a coppery gold in some lighting.

Good heavens YES! There is a HUGE difference! That's the most appealing part about the chain bag IMO. I can fit all my essentials in the middle of that one (full size wallet, keys, phone, lip gloss and eos lip balm).

I can see how the chain handles would get annoying after a while.

I planned on carrying it mainly by the chain handles. I really like the way they look but I don't think it would be long before they started to annoy me. I thought the other handles looked funny at first too but it doesn't bother me much.

Thank you for all your input everyone! I'm leaning toward keeping both now! I'm at least going to think about it a little more before I cut any tags. I should have known you'd be a bunch of enablers!!!
Happy New Year, everyone!

I was JUST thinking the same thing!!!! I like the one with the chain handle better just for that reason alone. I can understand Coach's probable reason for doing it (to avoid the inevitable metallic finish rub-off over time), but I still don't like the mismatched look about it.

I love the turnlock one because it looks like it'll provide way more space for you to reach in the center of the bag
