I'm looking for a crossbody bag that I can wear for casual settings, like going to a themed park or walking around a city while traveling. I have these and I can't decide which one to keep:
1. Jet Set French Binding East West in navy/black
2. Large dome crossbody in steel blue

I love love love the color of the second one but keep thinking that the first one is more casual so it's more appropriate for what I need. Also the price is a big difference, the first was 75.99 including tax, the second was 133.50.

My friend, who is the only one that understands and shares my MK obsession (outside of tpf) doesn't like the first one but loves the second. I think that is why I can't decide.

What do you think?

I like the looks and shape of the 2nd one better. The 1st is definitely more casual than the 2nd. I do like the outside pocket - can you fit much of anything in it? I definitely like the price better on the first one. Have you tried comparing what each one holds? Try that and hold it up to what you typically wear and see which one looks better/right. You might love the color on the 2nd one better, but it might not look the best/work the best with your wardrobe/needs.

I hope that helps. :smile1:

Of the two, I would keep the Cindy cross body. It's very cute and can work in most settings. That one would make me smile when I wear it.

I have the same bag in fuschia (no stripe) and I'm surprised that it looks great with most of my casual wardrobe....[emoji3]

Thanks! The outside pocket of the first one fits my iPhone 5, which is very convenient. Both fit small cosmetic bag (filled with small random items), mini wallet, phone and sunglasses in soft case. The second one is a tighter fit. I can also fit my pocketbac in the first one.

Thank you for your input! I love your fuschia, so pretty and a great pop of color!

I do agree, I love the Cindy too. I think it sits nicely against the body. I have it in black with gold hardware.

I love the color and hardware of the Cindy crossbody. The first one is more subdued and i also like the hardware on that one and like the outside pocket. Do you have a preference for soft leather or saffiano? That might help to decide. Let us know what you decide.

I really like the black hardware and the outside pocket of the first one. The only thing that I don't like about that purse is the black lining :/ I don't really have a preference for soft or saffiano... Decisions decisions... Still thinking.

Sounds like you are leaning towards the first one. Are you talking about the black interior or the trimming/piping around the bag?

I vote for the first one! Its beautiful in its dark coloring and will match most anything. Its subtle rather than flashy which you would want in crowds of people or unkonwn places. The functionality of the zipper pocket will be very handy. And not having to crowd all your items in is a plus!

Where did you find it at such a great price? :)

Thanks!

I got it online from Macy's during a recent sale. :D

I think the first is a good choice and you will be happy with it. As it's not a huge bag I don't see the interior being too much of a pain in the arse, as you said, it's only a small black hole, lol. I also can't stand big black holes in my bag and have returned a few cause of this. Post pics when it comes!

Thank you everyone for your input! I decided to keep the first one. Then yesterday the second one was available for 50% off plus another 15% off and I couldn't resist ordering it. I'm thinking that at those prices I can keep both. :D
