The LV vernis is very high maintenance actually, the amarante being dars does make it easier. The leather gets color transfe quite easily and of course the vachetta will stain.
Also the Bellevueis only hand held and can be tricky when you're strolling with the little ones! Although I LOVE LV in your situation I would go for the Gucci...No matter what if you are anything like me, you will lose things in either bag...hahaha...
