Balenciaga mesh green tote (SO amazing in every way) or the simple but glorious emerald or royal blue all-leather McQueen skull satchel mini-padlock crossbody tote?

Luv McQueen better than the Bal and I do like Bal but not really this one so much.

Ok. Thank you for your honesty and for responding. :) I fell in love w/this Bal, for some reason. I'm going to stick with it. I know it isn't all leather, but it's different, and I love it. :) Thank you again. (I agree, the green on the McQueen is pretty tempting!)

I hear you folks. I think people are very used to the gorgeous, soft leathers of Balenciaga which come in a rainbow of colors. I'm a huge fan of McQueen myself, but I've decided to stay with this sporty Bal. I realize why it's not for everyone - some aren't crazy about the color combo or the material, but I've loved it since I first saw it. I'm going to try and stick with my instincts this time around and wait for another beautiful green leather bag to come down the road some other time. :) I desperately need to stop changing my mind so often and just need to stay away from the computer for awhile!!!

I like the McQueen because I'm totally attracted to the colour and shape but I hear you on maverick Bals. I own a Bal Holiday Mirror Bowling and the opinion was not so receptive here but in the 'real world' it gets so many compliments and I love it. I only hope your soo-to-be Bal gives you so much pleasure as mine gives to me ;)

Thank you, I'm glad I got the name correct as I get mixed up between the 'Bowler' and 'Bowling'. I'm a big fan of Bal, but have mostly invested in footwear and RTW.

My Bal is silver which for me is a perfect neutral any time of the year, obviously for some it was a bit too much of a statement ;). I do believe we are the best to know ourselves and must follow our hearts

Had to go with my heart. Been using the Bal and I adore it. Thanks all for your input. Papertiger, I love how you described this as a "maverick" Bal bag. :hbeat::tup:
