I’ve been saving money now for months for a new bag, I’ve had two options on my mind, and it looks like it’s now time to decide which one to get. I’ve had my eyes on these both for a long time, so I think neither would be a wrong choice, but I still need to choose! I listed below the pictures plusses and minuses of the picks, or at least the ones I’m thinking of, so please share if you have some points I haven’t thought about or just your own opinions. Anything. Biggest difference between these two might be the size, the Saint Laurent one is smaller. And it looks better on the shoulder when the Balenciaga looks better on the arm. Yikes, I think I’ll make the decision really soon!
Oon säästänyt rahaa useita kuukausia uutta laukkua varten, mulla on ollut mielessä kaksi vaihtoehtoa, ja näyttäisi siltä että nyt voisin valita kumman niistä ostan. Oon kumpaakin katsellut sen verran pitkään, ettei kumpikaan varmasti olisi väärä valinta, mutta täytyy niiden väliltä silti valita. Listasin kuvien alle molemmista plussia ja miinuksia, niitä mitä mulla on tullut mieleen. Eli kertokaa ihmeessä jos teillä on jotain mielessä mitä en ole ottanut huomioon, tai mitä tahansa! Isoin ero noiden välillä taitaa olla koko, Saint Laurentin laukku on pienempi. Ja siinä missä se näyttää paremmalta olkapäällä kannettuna, Balenciaga on taas parempi käsivarrella.
1. Saint Laurent:
- good for carrying on the shoulder, but also the short straps
- laptop wouldn’t fit in there, is it too small? (or does it matter, I carry laptop with me only like once a week…)
- looks good even if it was empty
- gold studs on the bottom – the leather won’t scratch when you put it on the ground
- really simple and relaxed everyday bag
- hyvä olkapäällä kannettuna, mutta lyhyet hihnat löytyy myös
- liian pieni? läppäri ei mahtuisi tänne, mutta en mä sitä toisaalta kanna mukanani kuin ehkä kerran viikossa
- näyttää ryhdikkäältä tyhjänäkin
- kultaiset niitit pohjassa, suojaa nahankulumista kun sen laskee maahan
- simppeli ja kaikkeen käyvä arkilaukku
2. Balenciaga
- is the shoulder strap too short? but looks good when carrying from the short straps
- no bottom studs?
- a classic model, will last for long
- more recognizable – don’t know if it’s a plus or a minus
- is it too flat? doesn’t probably look as good when empty as the first one
- the glossy leather is lovely and the details more special
- it’s big enough for laptop
- onko olkahihna liian lyhyt? näyttää kuitenkin hyvältä käsivarrella kannettuna
- ei niittejä pohjassa suojaamassa nahkaa?
- klassikkomalli, kestää varmasti pitkään
- enemmän tunnistettava, tiedä sitten onko se plussa vai miinus
- onko liian lörppänä/lättänä? ei varmaan näytä tyhjänä yhtä hyvältä kuin eka laukku
- hieman kiiltävä nahka kiva, ja kultaiset yksityiskohdat ehkä näyttävämmät
- tarpeeksi iso läppärille
Mutta äh, ne ovat molemmat niin nättejä! Kumman te valitsisitte?

I do love more the Saint Laurent…more elegant and classic…bowling bags are my favourite!..xoxo
Lorna says
I’m agreeing with the Saint Laurent. The shape of it is more classic so you can wear it with absolutely anything. The Balenciaga is gorgeous too, but it’s more of a masculine bag with the zips and moto style, so I think it limits what you can wear it with. I wouldn’t worry too much about not fitting your laptop in the Saint Laurent, you mentioned you only take it once a week anyway, you can just take your LV for that!

Ehdottomasti Saint Laurent, on kivan ryhdikäs tyhjänäkin ja pitkä olkahihna on iso plussa! Balenciagat ei oo kyllä koskaan miellyttänyt mun silmää sitten yhtään…

100% Balenciaga, it has much more personality and potential to spice up whatever kinda outfit you are wearing 😉
Nathalie says
I’d like to warn you about the balenciaga. I have the part time and its leather is very fragile so putting your laptop in it wouldn’t be a good idea. You’d have to take care of it because it gets scratches easily.
Good luck for deciding!
Anni / Minulla on siivet says
Ehdottomasti ensimmäinen! Kelpais mullekin 😀
Ewwy says
Todellakin vaikea valinta! 😀 Sanoisin kuitenkin, että tuo Saint Laurent. Se on jotenkin todella tyylikäs ja “houkuttelevan” näköstä matskua ja tosi kivan muotonen. Ainoo vaan, että pitäisi nähdä ehkä vielä ihan luonnossa, ettei se oo semmonen typerän pieni. 😀
Sitten tuo Balenciaga. Malliltaan kyllä todella kiva ja näppärä, mutta…Noita kultasia härpäkkeitä on omaan silmään ihan liikaa. Toki tätäki pitäis ehkä päästä kattomaan lähietäisyydeltä.
Toivotaan, että jompi kumpi ilmestyy sun uniin ja vahvistaa valinnan. 😉
Enni says
ehdottomasti ensimmäinen on nätimpi :)!
Claudia says
En ite oo aikaisemmin tykänny sen erityisemmin Balenciagoista, mutta sulle toi vois sopii super hyvin!! Tosi hyvännäköinen malli niiltä 🙂

The Balenciaga – the Saint Laurent looks too much like your Prada bag, while the Balenciaga is totally new (and incredibly beautiful!)

exactly what I was thinking! it looks very Paris Hilton for me …
Lucinda says
Saint Laurent!
Wang has done spectacular things for Balenciaga but I don’t think it will ever be as sleek and effortlessly chic as Saint Laurent. It’s such a beautiful bag
Rosie von Waldherr says
I personally would go with the YSL one, simply because I feel it’s more unique than the Balenciaga…I feel the Balenciaga bag is too recognizable as you said and I wouldn’t want to carry that bag..plus I don’t like that I could only wear it with the short straps..but that’s me =) They’re both lovely and it’s your choice in the end!
Good Luck!

Jitka says
The first one!!
Balenciaga has every blogger.
Laura says
I’d say Balenciaga. It’s such a classic and will make every outfit look great. The Saint Laurent is too simple for my liking.
Sara says
I agree with you Laura.
The Balenciaga is such a classic, the model exists for over 10 years, which makes it very timeless and not bound to trends. And indeed, it does give so much extra to every outfit. Yes, the leather is softer and it might be damaged a bit faster, but on the other hand I think you will notice scratches are damages much more on the Saint Laurent then on the Balenciaga.
The shape of the Saint Laurent is for me personally something I would get bored of at some point, and it does look more similar then the other bags you have. The Balenciaga is a very recognizable model, but there is no logo on the outside, which I find very good. I think you can also resell a Balenciaga faster then the Saint Laurent. The Balenciaga is definately on my wishlist!
But those are my thoughts 😀 I’m sure you will rock both bags anyway! I’m very curious wath you will choose!
Love X Sara

Love St. Laurent…structure is simple and sleek. Not crazy about the Balenciaga hardware or shape.
Anna says
Both are really beautiful! The first one reminded me of your prada bag immediately.. This kind of glossy, smooth leather and the simple, decent style. So probably this might be another plus for the other one.
Mimi says
I prefer Balenciaga 🙂
Sarah says
Balenciaga. The leather of the Saint Laurent doesn’t look good (a little fake?!) and it’s too voluminous and a little boring…
Vlad says
I don’t like them both,but Saint Laurent is more smart than Balenciaga,because:
• If you carry A LOT in your bag,then choosing bag with short straps is worng – your arms will be crazy sore then.
• Balenciaga looks like a doctor’s briefcase,IMHO.
• As you said,Balrnciaga is more recognizable – i think it’s a “no-no”. You are unique,you don’t need the same bag as other people have!
Greetings from Tallinn!
Catarina says
to be honest, I think the first one is prettier and has more positives than tBalenciaga. so my vote goes to Saint Laurent
Lisa says
definitely the balenciaga ! the YSL is comparable to your prada because its so classy and simple. The balenciaga is more rock chic and easy because of the used look of the leather it doesn’t matter if it has studs on the bottom or not..
M says
First one looks much better 🙂 – love it!
Gabi says
By the way you described them it seems you already made up your mind in Saint Laurent. To be fairly honest, the Saint Laurent lacks the kind of tough personality that the Balenciaga City Bag does. However you’re own bags do not carry this much personality as well, Never Full, for instance, and Prada are very common sense bags and do not demand any effort to be worn in terms of personality. This is not a bad comment, this is one if your readers being really honest with you. So, for you, I’d say Saint Laurent. For the laptop day you just go with the Never Full once a week then.
But in terms if personal taste, Balenciaga is much more worth the money and investment. The Saint Laurent is a very common piece and design. 🙂

If I had to chose it would be the Saint Laurent one for suuuuure! Love how classy it is, and how dressed down/dressed up it can be. Also love the shape, very clean, looks soooo polished (my goal). I think the Balenciaga has been seen sooooo much that it has lost its charm … Good luck !!!

Margot says
I would say the Saint Laurent. For me, the Balenciaga has too many details, it looks a bit fuzzy. Although normally I would say I like everything by Balenciaga.
B says
Saint Laurent!
It looks so lovely and simple and elegant and ughh
If I were you I would definitely get the first bag!
And I think its only minus is that you cant fit your laptop, but like you said, you carry it only once a week so it wont be a problem 🙂
Elisa says
Absolutely Balenciaga! It’s a “rock” bag, very spacious and resistant, I really love it! You can use Balenciaga in every situation, every day and with the most part of your outfits!
It’s THE bag for you!
Kate says
I think Balenciaga has more of a grunge feeling, and would make your classical looks more catchy.. 🙂

I prefer saint laurent, I love how classic, minimal the bag is. I think the model is timeless too. The balenciaga’s strap is too short I think.

en oo koskaan ymmärtäny tota balenciagaa.. mutta toi ysl on tosi kauniin klassinen ja ihana 🙂
Val says
Both are gorgeous and classic choices, however, I prefer the Saint Laurent; the Balenciaga is much too similiar to your Prada bag. As you said, the Saint Laurent is more casual and you can wear it with the long strap (which you can do with your Prada, so it would be different) and on the odd day that you are carrying your laptop, you could use your LV!
Hope this was usefull! xo
Helena says
Saint Laurent !
Simone says
The Saint Laurent, it is just your style perfectly. The Balenciaga might look more popping on first glance, but in my opinion it looks like a 100€ bag you can buy off of Ebay anytime. The Saint Laurent oozes classy and a higher pricetag.
The only minus for me concerning the SL is that it could be a tad larger, but this size goes really well with Sunday lunches, for example, when stuff like a laptop isn’t necessary.
Looking forward to your choice 🙂

I just generally love Saint Laurent more, and in this case I still prefer it. It’s just so much more classic of a shape, and I feel like the Balenciaga actually looks a little tacky. It’s got a kind of outdated mid-00s feel to me? Harsh, probably, but you asked! 😉

Annan ääneni Balenciagalle. YSL-laukku näyttää ihan Pradan laukultasi (ja sinulla on muitakin tämän tyylisiä laukkuja – muistelisin) ja muutenkin YSL on omaan silmääni liian pieni ja tylsä. En itse lämpenisi YSL:lle.
Sen sijaan Balenciaga, se on hieman erilainen, ei niin yksinkertainen verrattuna YSL. Balenciaga on upea ja pystyn niin näkemään sen sinulla. 🙂 Balenciaga on myös minun omalla toivelistallani, ja aion sen ehdottomasti kotiuttaa kunhan saan säästettyä rahaa.
Innolla odotan kuulevani kumpaan päädyit!

jjonna says
Saint Laurent ehdottomasti! Balenciaga näyttää mun silmään hienolta vaan kirkuvissa väreissä, ei niinkään mustana. Saint Laurent on tyylikkäämpi ja tunnistettavuus ei mun mielestä ole laukussa se mihin kannattaa panostaa. Vaikka onhan nuo SL laukut pikkuhiljaa tulossa tunnetuksi siinä missä Balenciaga on sitä jo hetken ollut. Jokatapauksessa kummatkin on kivoja valintoja 🙂

Hi! I think that YSL is so much better. I mean it just goes very well with your style and personality.

If it would be my choice- i would go for YSL. Good luck!

I hate being this person because I really love your blog but you should educate yourself on how leather is produced and don’t think you’ll be buying it anymore. It’s a terrible terrible torturous industry. If you want designer buy something from the Stella McCartney line 🙂 she is completely cruelty free! The production of leather should be banned … When you wear leather you are saying it is ok to take the life of an being for fashion .. That should never be ok.
Malwa says
Saint Laurent is sooo you! 😉
Aurora says
I have a Balenciaga and I love it.
The leather ages gracefully, the leather is softer year after year. It might seem rough at first but the more often you wear it the more beautiful it gets. The house has a well known reputation for the quality of their leather. The strap is too short but it’s more of a handbag than a shoulder bag. This model is timeless, a classic for years. I like the fact that it has a hidden pocket inside, it’s very handy to put your small items.
What else to say? Even when it’s empty, it still looks quite good to me. You should go for the Balenciaga, the YSL looks to similar to your Prada.

I would definitely go with the Balenciaga. It’s such a beautiful purse. I also love your Prada. I am not a fan of the YSl purse. I’m not a fan of the shape or the texture of the leather. Go with the Balenciaga! xx
ia says
Minulla on tuo sama Balenciagan laukku ja pakko sanoa että suurin huono puoli siinä on että kahvoja kiertävät narut kuluvat puhki aika nopeasti, ei näytä kivalta. Joissakin erissä (niin kuin omassanikin) tuo musta väri haalistuu harmahtavan vihreäksi, toki sen voi hoitamalla saada taas mustaksi mutta Suomen sääolosuhteissa pehmeä lampaannahka on kovilla. Eli jos etsit pitempään käyttöön niin tuo Saint Laurent näyttää silmissäni paremmalta vaihtikselta. Balenciagaan en kyllä MacBookianikaan saa kunnolla sovitettua…Olkahihnakin saisi olla hitusen pitempi, jotenkin tulee aina kannettua kädessä mielummin juuri siitä syystä ja siksi ne narutkin kuluvat entistä nopeammin haroittaviksi. Mutta onhan se kaikinpuolin upea laukku ja sitä mieltä olen edelleen pienistä virheistä huolimatta 🙂
Charlotte says

brittany says
I have always loved the balenciaga, but if it matters to you there are so many imitation purses like it that are out now, and I hate buying a bag that a lot of people may assume is just a a knock-off. The YSL is more classy, but I love the grunge look of the B 🙂

Personally, I prefer the Balenciaga one. First, I think the YSL is too small, I prefer bigger bag and it will be more useful to have enough place. Second, I don’t really like the YSL one, I find the leather a bit too shiny. And at last but not least I love the Balenciaga model! Well it’s my opinion but both would be fine! I can’t wait to see a look with your final choice! Happy for you, every time I’m going to buy/receive a bag, I’m super-excited!
Much love & have fun!

Don’t go for Balenciaga. There’s now lots of copies in the shops. And I don’t think that Balenciaga really suits your style. Saint Laurent is more elegant, yet everyday bag. Looks better, the size, shape … If I had to chose for you I’d like to give you a Saint Laurent bag 🙂
Ohh I see that opinions are divided. 🙂 can’t wait to see what you’re gonna choose. 🙂
Paulina says
I think you should get the Balenciaga one because it is kind of edgy but still really in the same time and i really like it :))
Csilla says
I would rather choose the Saint Lauren bag. I think that’s prettier than the second one.
Btw I’ve just read You’re going to NYC in December (I was there in October). I recommend you Banana Republic. I love them. Their dresses/clothes are pretty, stylish and girly. And of course Victoria’s Secret. It’s a must thing for girls! 🙂
Alice says
The yves saint laurent one looks really good!!!! Though it kind of look like the prada that you already have. The balenciaga one is really nice but the quality is not that good!!! I have many friends that do have a balenciaga and the quality of the leather is not great!!!!
I personally think that the balenciaga is more original more rock n roll and the Yves saint laurent more classic!! I wanted to buy a balenciaga but looking at my friends balaciaga bag made me stop so I ended up buying a Louis vuitton one and I have no regret at all!!

Yves Saint Laurent, deffinately

BALENCIAGA! sulla on mun muistaakseni aika monta ton yslin mallista laukkua, että eikö balenciaga olisi vähän vaihtelua?;) ja muutenkin balenciaga on kyllä aivan huikeen ihana!

Mun silmää miellyttää enemmän toi Sant Laurentin laukku! 🙂
Jessica says
Saint Lauren! 🙂 Oli hauska nähdä bussissa, heh 🙂
Charlotte says
Saint Laurent! Perfect for you 🙂
Stella says
I think you should consider Givenchy Antigona, it’s better from both.
I don’t like the YSL at all looks like a travel bag and the Balenciaga has some similarities in shape with the Prada you already have.
I am sure you can find a better bag from these too, consider other colours too, not only black.

Mary says
I totally agree with! You really should consider other colours! Maybe grey, or brown?
Sofia says
Saint Laurent on omasta mielestäni ehkä hienompi, mutta kun sulla on jo se Pradan laukku, niin siksi sanoisin että Balenciaga. Balenciaga on vähän erilkoisempi, Prada taas sellanen klassikko joka on aika lähellä tota Saint Laurenia joten kahta samantyylistä en ehkä lähtisi valitsemaan…
Joka tapauksessa, kumpikin laukku on omalla tavalla niin nätti että kateeksi käy, ehkä minäkin vielä jonakin päivänä. 😉
laura says
Balenciaga mun mielestä! Toi ensimmäinen muistuttaa tosi paljon jotenki sitä Pradaa joka sulla on myös. Balenciaga on upea ja vähän erikoisempi kuin YSL.
milena says
Balenciaga! Siksi että olisikohan Saint Laurentissa ja sun pradan laukussa jotain vähän samaa tyylillisesti, molemmat vähän pienempiä ja ryhdikkäitä? Vai erehdynköhän nyt.. 🙂 Balenciaga olisi vähän rennompi ja erilaisempi valinta sitten ja ehkä arkeen sopivampi, mutta tosi ihania ja tyylikkäitä molemmat!
Stefany says
I personally prefer Balenciaga but I think the Saint Laurent fits your style more. The material looks more luxurious and if you need to carry your laptop, just go with your other bags.
Linda says
completely agree with you.
sn says
Onko tää sun blogis jo niin kansainvälinen että kirjotat englanniks!? Herranjestas! Viimeks kun kävin täällä oli viä vaan suomeks kaikki 🙂 no näköjää pitää alkaa täälläkin seurailemaa usemmi vaikka instagramissa sua seurailen myös. Mutta onnea tosi paljon että oot saanu huikeen määrän ulkomaalaisia lukijoita! Ehkä suomi pikkuhiljaa välittyy maailmankartalle 😀
tiger says
frankly speaking none of them is beautiful, I don’t like any. I like very much Cèline bags 🙂 but they are horribly expensive, at least for me, even if I have this amount (~1700€) I wouldn’t spend it on a bag, or I could do it once I am a director of a bank or something like that 😉
bee says
Seems like I am the only one who’d pick Balenicaga !?
100 % Balenciaga, definitely
Elipersi says
I think the Balenciaga one is better than the Saint-Lauren because you alreay have a structure bag (the prada one) with studs on the bottom and that looks good even if it’s emprty. they almost looks the same. the Balenciaga bag is more for casual looks and relaxed days, it’s not too elegant or classy. in addiction its short straps are not so boring because there are some details on them and I love the sort of gold “buckles” in the front part, they stand out more than in the S-L bag. and I really would have that bag, but it costs an arm and a leg

Saint Laurent !

Saint Laurent tottakai !!! =)

Mun mielestä molemmat laukut on tosi hyviä vaihtoehtoja ja hienoja sekä tyylikkäitä molemmat! Itse sanoisin kuitenki, että valitse Balenciaga – toi Saint Laurent tuo mieleen sun Pradan laukun ja on hyvin yksinkertainen, samantyylisiä laukkuja löytyy monilta. Balenciaga on taas hieman erilainen ja noi yksityiskohdat antaa kivan säväyksen yksinkertasemmallekin asulle! Se on kyllä tunnistettavissa oleva merkki, mutta tota on näkyny monilla julkkiksilla, joita on listattu vuoden tyylikkäimmiksi, joten en tiedä onko se sit paha asia haha! 😀 tosta en tiedä, että miltä se tyhjänä näyttää mut eiköhän sinne jotain sisältöä keksi, bloggaajalla kuitenki varmasti aina tavaroita mitä pitäis mukana kantaa… Hinta on toki yks asia mistä en sen tarkemmin tiedä, mutta sä varmaan osaat suhteuttaa sen tähän valintaan!
Ananas says
Balenciaga todellakin! Ysl näyttää liian samanlaiselta sun pradan kanssa ja tossa kuvassa liian pieneltä !:/ koska laukku ei oo yleensä liian iso – päinvastoin eikä haittaa jos sinne jää tyhjää tilaa 🙂 ois hankala et tonne menee arkitavarat +kamera ja ehkä hanskat/pipo talvella. Ja muutenkin balenciaga on erilainen siin on särmää!! 🙂

are you kidding me?? baleniaga of course

Saint Laurent for sure! Classic piece 🙂
Have a great day!
Ana says
Saint Laurent !!!
Balenciaga remindes me of Chiara Ferragni. And she is so last year
Jessie Frederick says
I like the Saint Laurent. It’s sleeker, which I like, and it’s good to have bags of different sizes. The Balenciaga…just not my taste.
Marcela Ordoñez says
I would say balenciaga, is more how to say ” fresh” but at the same time it is a really stylish bag,
I’m a colombian bags designer and this Saint Laurent bag is more classic and more normal design , this balenciagai s an icon, and i think is other kind of bag, Agree with a past comment ; Saint Laurent bag s more similar to the prada you already have. is good to change isn’t it? 🙂
Greatings from Colombia! 😉
Sandra says
Saint Laurent!! :-))

Laura says
Moi,
En olekaan aiemmin kommentoinut, ja nyt sitten päätin 🙂
Balenciaga ehdottomasti. Tuo Saint Laurent ei iske yhtään. Jos sinulla on jo joku laukku, jossa on pidempi hihna niin eihän se haittaa jos tässä nyt niin pitkä ei olisi 🙂 Ihana laukku!
b.m. says
Saint Laurent!
Sarah says
Balenciaga all the way. It has more space and it’s easier to carry. The YSL’s handles are too small in my opinion and it’s a hassle to carry such a bag. You’ll get sick of it pretty quickly.
Teresa Starling says
Balenciaga’s the most good :)))
i love Selma by Michael Kors
valerie says
i wouldn’t say that balencoaga one is more recognizable.. both bags are quite equal. but I would vote rather for saint laurent Ialthough Im not admirer of this brand) but I really like the bag!

beata says
balenciaga’s one is so chic and casual at the same time and modern to. ysl is more a fashionable choise and it’s very simple and clean.
joyce says
I love love love the Saint laurent bag! If I could I would get this bag, because it’s just fab. The Design of balenciaga is not my type of style so I go with saint laurent xxx
marisa says
En valitsis kumpaakaan noista. Se sun ihana Pradas ja uusimmassa postauksessa näkyvä Zaran laukku on jo molemmat mustia nahkalaukkuja kultaisilla yksityiskohdilla.. Noi ei tois siis mitään uutta sun valikoimaas. Ostaisin joko pienemmän laukun (esim. Rebecca Minkoffin M.A.C.:n) tai sitten jonkun vähän erilaisen isomman laukun. Mut päätös on tietty sun. 🙂
Chantelle says
I actually think it depends what kind of look you go for every day. The biggest difference I see is that the YSL is classy, while the Balenciaga is rocker chic. So you need to decide if your wardrobe blends well with a “Blair Waldorf” or Erin Wasson/Kate Moss style. Good luck! They’re both gorgeous!
Sarah says
When I saw both bags I instantly felt that the YSL bag would look naturally great on you. It’s so classy, elegant and timeless but simehow also very down to earth ! You could easily match it with almost every outfit you showed on you blog. I like the Balencia, too but I don’t think it’s as timeless as the YSL and it’ll probably be harder to match with your outfits since your style is rather classy and timeless (which I like about your blog <3)
But I've read you've already made your decision, so I can't wait to see your new baby 😉 Have fun unboxing it when it arrives !!!
fashionaltitude says
Yves saint Laurent is the one to choose! This bag is eye catching!
balanciaga is.seen everywhere…what à bore!
Good. Luck with your choice!!!
Lully says
YSL for sure !!!!
Kristen says
I definitely like the Saint Laurent more! I think it will end up being more versatile, even with not being able to carry a laptop.

Balenciaga of course! I have a city bag, it was my first luxury handbag and I’m crazy about it! I wish I could have a collection of Balenciaga’s

Maja says
I would choose the Saint Laurent 🙂 in my opinion it is more elegant than the Balenciaga bag 🙂
madlenka says
this is a tough one, but i’d go for saint laurent, even though it’s smaller 🙂
Naomi says
The Saint Laurent bag is truly perfect. The Balenciaga is beautiful. But a lot of people have it, and even though it’s one of those bags that will never go out of style. The truth is, if it’s not filled, it has no shape. I think the Saint Laurent is perfect!!!!
iiina says
Balenciaga! Mun mielestä toi saint laurentin ulkonäkö muistuttaa vähän turhan paljon sitä pradaa jonka jo omistat 🙂
Agata says
SAINT LAURENT!
Sini says
eka on paljon tyylikkäämpi:))!
Sarah says
I would definite go with the Balenciaga bag. I just love it. It’s so classic and versatile and and the details make it so special.
alex says
BALENCIAGA definitely, !
I think the YSL is too classic, and i think you have the prada as a classic bac si if i could choice i would buy the blaenciaga
I love YSL bags but i would not chose that one…
Inês says
Marianna, what about the Antigona, by Givenchy? It’s so pretty, and similar to the Saint-Laurent.
