Hi Guys!
I wanted to chat about the Deauville Chanel tote vs the Goyard tote because I get asked questions about them all the time! I own the Deauville in blue and in beige but rarely wear the beige. Maybe when my kids are older I’ll start wearing the beige one. I keep on wondering if I should sell, but I don’t want to regret selling!
What I love so much about the Chanel Deauville bag is that it makes any outfit look automatically chic and so versatile. You can pair it with a workout outfit, jeans + tee and you look chic! The bag also looks great with dresses! It’s the perfect size to hold kid snacks, waters, and extra changes of clothes. I love that it has a shoulder strap so that when you have to carry things or a child you can wear on your shoulder. The wrist handle is my favorite way to wear this bag! The compartments inside are really helpful – you can keep your keys + wallet. It looks cute with every single outfit! The wear of my blue bag isn’t great – but I wouldn’t sell it anyways. It’s also structured so it’s not hard to find things.
The Goyard GM I own in blue and in grey. I find myself wearing the blue one more – maybe because it’s a better color for Miami. This bag is so easy to use, it is such a good throw around bag and fits everything! The size is perfect and super super light when it’s empty. I originally bought the grey one in Paris when I was pregnant with Chloe. I was going to use it as a diaper bag and, of course, every day use once Chloe grew out of diapers! It’s really the perfect diaper bag – and one that you can wear forever. The fabric can totally get wet without any problem. It’s a little difficult to find things because the bag has no structure! The bag comes with a pouch which I should always keep my keys in! The wear isn’t great, I will say. The straps on mine are a little cracked 🙁 But all in all I love this bag – it’s a no brainer and I love that I never have to worry about where it’s placed.
So- while the Goyard is technically a better every day bag, because it’s so light, I love the way the Chanel tote makes me feel: put-together and chic! If I had to choose between one bag I would say go for the Deauville in a darker color for everyday!
Just to throw you a curve ball: if you’re looking for something that doesn’t get that beat up, look at the Louis Vuitton Never Full! Maybe it will make a comeback – who knows!
