Fantasy bag shopping: Alexander Wang coco duffle vs Balenciaga city

    I should be working, I really should, but instead I'm indulging in some fantasy bag shopping. I really love the new alexander wand coco bag but is it terribly fickle? Will the studs date it? And it seems like the handels are too short to carry it on your shoulder which is frankly stupid. Or is it just so cool:

    Clearly ignore the person carrying the bag! Or is the Balenciaga city a better fantasy buy:

    I love them both :o Oh shameful consumer lust.

    What do you think?

    Oooh I'd definitely go for the second one. Much classier than the first!


    God I really want it now... *wishes for money*

    Yay! It's not just me :D

    I know I think I prefer the Bal and I kinda like the gold hardware, better than black leather with silver hardware? But the alexander wang is just mmmm, I mean gold studs!

    Now I need a fantasty credit card..

    Whoops, just understood what you meant about the giant gold hardware on the Bal bag, totally agree it's tacky much prefer the smaller hardware :)

    Neither TBH.

    I've never gotten the Balenciaga thing, at least for their standard bags. They look quite mundane.

    I'm not a fan of the Balenciaga bag, I don't think they look their prices at all. I do quite like the Alexander Wang bag - although I think it is very on trend at the moment so only for people with buckets of money to spend on bags!

    I love Balenciaga Bags…city and hobos are my favourite…so usable and roomy…..light also compared with say Chloe Paddington / Heloise bags which are a weight in themselves before anything is put in them.

    Horses for courses though. It’s the same with everything. I would much rather pay for a well made leather bag then the likes of the much more popular LV speedy or neverfull which is only PVC..vinyl coated stuff with a bit of fancy trim.
