Left or Right? Wednesday, May 21, 2008 6:04 PM

For the last year or so I've been searching for a somewhat affordable black leather bag that's big enough to tote around the entire contents of my room. I've managed to narrow it down to the above two bags which are both by Sabina, but I can't decide between the one on the left or on the right. Initially I liked the one on the left, but now I'm veering towards the one on the right. They're both the same price ($245 USD). Which one would you choose?

Right right right!

tough decision but I would go for the right back as well.

Right.

Hate to be a crowd follower, but I agree with everyone - right is the one I prefer.

They're both really nice, btw. K

I think if you're feeling more like a tomboy, go with the left one, and if you're more girly, go with the right. The one on the left is more masculine, and I love the belt around it at the top. But thinking about your wardrobe, I'd go with the right as well. Unless you're in the mood for a bit of androgyny.

here's another vote for right.

You're right that the one on the right would probably fit better with my wardrobe, but like you the belt was what drew me to the one on the left. In fact, I spent the last couple of months looking at the one on the left and it was only a week ago I started swaying to the one on the right. If only I had money for both! Then I would get the one on the left in spruce.

i LOVE the sabina bags! In terms of looks I like the right one a bit more, BUT I have a bag thats a similar shape and it annoys me to no end how it cinches at the top, making the bag hard to get into and tough to fit things in it.

Oh, I like the one on the right best, by the way they're both nice :-)

Right! It looks like it can carry more, is more stylish and just looks like it's better quality.

That's for the insight! I've been a bit worried about the shape for the reason you mentioned.

i LOVE my sabina bag! they're both lovely, but the one on the right is my pick.

The one on the right looks more sleek to me...then again, I'm predisposed to curvilinear surfaces.

i would buy the bag on the left in a heart beat =) not because i am trying to be different but the bag on the right seems too common. i have seen it in other colours and textures in singapore, not from sabina of course but just other brands. the left one looks more edgy; then again it depends on your wardrobe and how u see yourself pairing it.

A resounding: the one on the right!

This may be beating a dead horse, but right for me too!

Nah, I appreciate your difference in opinions :) I like the casual, slouchy look of the one on the left, but I like to carry my bag on my arm so the one on the right's handles suits that more.

hmmm, tough decision! I like the handle on the right hand one but the pockets on the left hand one are nicer. Toss a coin perhaps? If this is a girly little bag you're after head right but if you want a sturdy carry-all-your-room-if-you-wanna then I think left.

I was the left's fan from first glance.
Don't know why. Pockets I think.

Ooh I'm actually going against the grain here as I prefer the left, I'm into the pockets!

Hey, you probably know this already but Holt Renfrew on Bloor St. now carries Shu Uemura make-up!

I didn't know. Thanks for the tip! Eee, how exciting! Is it a counter?

nenuca | 2008-05-26 04:01 PM | Reply

left for sure, they look similar but i like how the left one has a bigger opening at the top and looks a bit more grunge and less frilly and girly.

totaly left!!

yulanda | 2008-05-27 12:08 PM | Reply

All the left supporters are suddenly coming out of the woodwork!

Yulanda! LEFT!!!!!

I've been drooling over both of these bags for a while myself...
