Handbags

They're both nice, but I would choose the first one. I like the shape and the zippered pocket.

Another vote for #1, I like the color and the details of the zipper. Without looking at the inside I would say #1.

Thanks everyone! #1, Danielle, was my first choice also!(the Judy sold out) I was on the fence because I'm used to my Vera Bradley, very light weight Carson shoulder bag. I haven't carried a heavy leather bag in years! This one is on sale(and I found a$30 off coupon online/wish Q would have some real sales with coupons too! 😂)so I think I'm going to give  it a try. Just for summer. Then I'll go back to my VB. Thanks again!🤗👜

@Starpolisher Good choice! It was a good sale price (I agree with you about Q), and even better you had a coupon~that's a good deal on what looks like a quality leather bag.

I agree with you on lighter bags these days (honestly, I never loved carrying big, heavy bags, even in my 20's & 30's!) For me, like you with your VB's, I mostly use my lightweight, small Lug crossbodys, and that one other faux leather, Joy Susan crossbody, I mentioned too. I have good D&B's, Coach, Stone Mountain etc., leather bags, but run around with my lightweight nylon Lugs everyday.

This "Danielle" looks small enough that it will hold your essentials, you can't fill it that much, and I don't see any bulky hardware on it...so it shouldn't be too heavy.
