Which one would you keep?

If you only wanted to keep one...

Marc Jacobs Stam Hobo in Mouse Gray
Pros:
big
neutral
strap fits over shoulders
cool
chain is removable
rare style and color
Cons: 
chain is heavy so I don't bring it out of town
I already have a bag in this color
kind of a black hole (too big to be organized)
not iconic like the regular stam (though I sold my regular stam)


Marc Jacobs Quilted Blake in Mouse Gray
Pros:
easy to stay organized with the divisions
straps fit over shoulders 
pretty
neutral
rare color/quilted combo
Cons: 
kind of small for work
I forget which compartment I put my stuff in cause I am forgetful
I already have a bag in this color
common style

Such a tough choice! If I HAD to pick one, I would go with the stam hobo.

I think the first one has more character, as you noted the second one seems more like something you’d see on someone else when you’re out.

I like the Stam Hobo as well - it's a classic looking piece but also very modern and chic. I love the size and shape of it and think it would be very practical.

I say keep the Stam. I love a Blake but the quilted version just doesn't work for me.

I vote for the Blake!!

first one a keeper

gee said...

i love the first one!!!

Carol Kim said...

Oh, I like the first one, mostly for the size I think. Though I know what you mean about the black hole. And the too-heavy things...I have bags that are like that too...

Meghan W said...

Love the first one! It's very classic looking and I love the chain.

Both, because it seems impossible to find one purse that works for everything. If forced to choose, for me it would come down to choosing between space or compartments. I love compartments for organizing, but they're no good if you can't fit everything in, so I guess I'd go for the first one if I needed a roomy bag.

I really like the 1st bag best. And it's easy to make or buy a handmade purse organizer, so that would eliminate that problem. Check out Etsy for purse organizers - got one for my mom and she loves it.

I'm a big bag kind of a gal - small bags seem like a waste of space to me, since I feel like all I can do is fit my phone, lip gloss and maybe wallet inside.

But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color of these bags!

Stam Hobo all the way. I love the style because it's a structured slouchy without looking sloppy (if that makes sense). It looks cute with or without the chain. Also, I'd rather have more space than less. I very much covet this bag!

Stam!

erin said...

stam! but i think you decided!

Steph said...

I would keep the Stam Hobo. Size is critical when it comes to purses (not too big nor too small) if the Stam is a more practical size for you, that's a huge plus. And the shape and color of the Stam is feminine and soft- I love it!

Marianne Canada said...

Like everyone, I prefer the Stam. You don't sound fully sold on either one, though!

Dana said...

I would keep the Stam because I'd rather a bag be too big than too small and I like a little weight plus I like the look more and it's more interesting visually. That's just my opinion. I can see why you posted this though, it's a tough decision.

A Stylized Hysteria said...

Keep the Stam. Or better yet, let Speck decide. I trust his judgment.

Midory Esquer said...

I would go with the Stam (apperantly like everyone else!!!!).. Fell in love with it as a matter of fact! The color of the stam is to die for!! Such a beautiful neutral color (even though you already have one that color). I also think that the quilted affect to the stam is a lot more modern and very rich in dimension. As for the Blake I feel like its too mature or too old for your bubbly and adorable personality.

oh dear. oh dear. you seem to have phrased this in such a way as to push us towards the stam hobo (hee...jessica stam the hobo...right..) (which is REALLY cute) but I truly couldn't decide. maybe I would need to see your alternates! If pushed, I think the classic shape of the 2nd bag is less powerful in the grey colour. I am totally charmed by the 'mouse gray' colour name though....
