I love the look of black box, but adore the texture and versatility of Chevre (in case you're out and it's raining) in various kinds of weather. So that is my pick.
Jedi - I love my black with PH Kelly Pochette and use it as you describe "dinner and a show". Some would prefer to have the Kelly with a shoulder strap for cocktails to give them free hands. If I need to juggle a drink and a canape I put the KP under my arm. It holds a surprising amount.
If you would prefer a Kelly option then sellier Cherve.
Black Chevre Kelly in a heart beat because the chevre gives the bag a bit of a shine which is GORGEOUS in the evening......and a little bit sexy too....
Good question - Victoria Beckham's appears to be evergrain. Since she probably could have gotten any leather or option she wanted, one has to assume that in her opinion evergrain is the top choice in black for this particular bag. That carries some weight in my mind, since she does have astoundingly good taste and is a fashion icon. I think I like box too. What would you recommend?
