pros and cons of Miu Miu Mini Bow vs. Balenciaga First

Miu Miu pros
- they're more rare, i think, at least on the streets. i don't tend to see balenciaga that much either but there's always someone carrying one. idk if it's real or fake (probably real) though. oh, especially if you're from an asian country or somewhere that has a lot of asian tourists. SOMEONE will be wearing balenciaga.
- the mini bow is cute...although the first is cute too.
- you can utilize the cross body strap so you won't have to hold the bag for long periods of time, or have your shoulder hurt. things always seem to slip off my shoulder, but that's solved if you're carrying cross-body!
- i LOVE the color mughetto. it's the best neutral-yet-pink shade EVER. in some light it's grayish, in some light it's pink, and in others it's a combination of them both. balenciaga is known for their chameleon colors, but this one has them all beat!
- i think the leather looks really nice. i haven't seen on in real life, but it's the glazed leather that seems a mixture between patent and non-patent. so it won't get wet really easily, but still feels soft and cool to the touch.
- the size. it can fit all i need, and won't be too baggy or annoyingly large after that. size does a lot for me in a handbag. this is the biggest i'm ever going to need!

cons
- the opening does seem a bit weird and hard to get into. it has to be zippered and then folded along the side?
- the bows are cute, but not the usual type of bows i like. but still cute.
- um, it's expensive. 'nuff said.
- and hard to find.
- in that color

Balenciaga pros
- smooshy, lovely leather!! the staple of balenciaga!
- i do like the tassels.
- i also like the shoulder strap and the arms strap
- also great shape and size. i like the first because it's more rectangular while the city is very squarish. i don't like squarish shapes as much.
- very easy to get in and out of
- also photographs extremely well ;)
- love the color blueberry! it's the perfect dark navy blue i'm starting to loveee!

cons
- might be a littttle too...noticeable? like, anyone can notice a balenciaga
- the tassels are cute and the shape is cute but i feel like together, the bag isn't particularly girly
- also hard to find, in the color i want (blueberry!!!) but if i stalk ebay enough, i'll probably find it.
