What would you rather get? LL Bean or MJ Tote.

Hey there....
I wanted opinions.
I can either get
The LL Bean tote in Green with monogrammed initials
OR
a Marc Jacobs tote (similar to this but has a zipper on top)
THe MJ tote is slightly more expensive.

The BP is already getting
1. PJ pants.
2. Diane Von Furstenberg tank
3. Robe

i actually like the LL Bean one more. the MJ ones are a little too MJ flashy with the name... plus my sister always gets monogrammed LL Bean totes at her job and she raves about how great and sturdy they are.

Excellent! Thank you!. I'm leaning towards LL and they are having a huge sale. They happen to have the green on sale also.

Now..... Trying to get all of their middle names... Or monogram first names? or is that elementary?

hm... that's actually tough. I think i'd rather have my initials than my first name, personally. i just think it looks nicer.

MJ totes if your girls are into designer brands.

But if they're more practical, the LL Bean totes are really cute!!!!

plus Cindy I think you've already been more than generous with their gifts and it's not like LL Bean is a cheap brand; MJ is nice but do the LL Bean and save where you can!

MJ unless it has that writing all over it. If that is the case, then the LL bean one with the intitals is def cuter.

The tote looks more like this but with thicker handles....

While it is a cute bag, I personally am not a fan of the huge brand advertisement on it. LOL. I think the monogram is more personal with the intials on it. JMHO. Im sure they will love whatever you get them!!!

I would say the LL Bean tote because that is what I gave my BMs along with a Victoria's secret tank and DOJ. They loved them! I also ended up getting myself one and it has been very useful! I used it for the beach on our HM and try to go GREEN with it whenever I can!

i like the LL, the MJ just has too much writing on it.

Re: What would you rather get? LL Bean or MJ Tote.

Hmm...that's tough. I'm not big on logos either...I favor something a little more simple. Although I prefer a bag with a zipper, I'd probably say to go with the LL Bean!

Re: What would you rather get? LL Bean or MJ Tote.

Well I am a big fan of LL Bean b/c they stand behind their product. But also, the monogram is sooo cute......

Re: What would you rather get? LL Bean or MJ Tote.

I like the LL Bean one because you can monogram it, and I see that as more versatile

also, I love the quality of LL Bean products...they tend to last forever if they're cared for properly
