BATTLE OF THE BAGS

So this summer, I have come to the decision that I am going to buy myself a new bag. Excited as I am, I find myself torn between two exceptional messenger style bags, and am clueless as to which one to pick.

My dream solution? Get both. But sadly, I'm a (soon to be) student, and by buying one of these bags I'm being stretched to my limit so two is out of the question, also, I think my parents would have a heart attack.

So, introducing contestant number one)

LOUIS VUITTON DAMIER GRAPHITE MICK

I'm utterly in love with this bag. I spotted it when I went into Louis Vuitton the other day to get my other LV repaired, it was a sad day, but moving on, I love the slenderness of it. It's extremely chic and simple yet it still has the wow-factor, it's got a rock'n'roll appeal about, after all it is named after the legend Mick Jagger. I think it looks professional but still holds quirkiness and excitement due to the silver zips placed on the top, front and back. The fact that the bag opens by a zip and not a flap is a definite bonus for me as my current bag is a flap, and it can be a pain when in a hurry, so it's convenient too. I'd use it for everyday things, going to college etc, it's an A4 size bag so can fit what I need in it, it's perfect.

Contestant number two)

MULBERRY TED IN OAK, NATURAL LEATHER

I've had my eye on this bag for a year or so now, in my eyes it's like the male version of the oversized Alexa, although apparently the oversized Alexa is unisex, I'm not too sure and think it would look a bit too feminine. I just find this bag cute, and hold the classic messenger bag appeal. Mulberry is the definition of English Luxury Fashion and I adore it, it's so elegant and simplistic. The fact that it turns into a backpack makes this bag even more adorable although I'm not sure I'd use it, I don't want to make a twat out of myself. Practically, the LV is probably a lot easier to get into whereas although the Ted has magnetic buttons that are attached to the buckles to open it, it's still that whole annoyance of getting into it. 

A lot to think about, a lot to consider, both bags are almost identical in price so that's not a problem, it's just a case of whether I opt for Classic English Luxury or High Fashion Chic...

Share your thoughts and leave a comment, I need all the help I can get as I'm useless at choosing.
