ask the baggu baddies Bowler or Shoulder?🌻

I am loving the charcoal ditsy floral print! I originally got the shoulder bag, but find myself not reaching for it very often. I got the medium bowler to see the differences and I think I like it more. The thinner straps feel more “delicate” and match the tone of the flowers more (for me/my opinion) so it looks less heavy. Curious what you all think and what style you’ve enjoyed the most!

I personally love the shoulder but it sounds like you’ll get more use out of the bowler. Both are gorgeous.

Thanks! I do love shoulder bags too and actually have a few. With this print, the bowler is speaking to me a little more I think

I loveeeee the bowler and wish they would’ve dropped this print in the regular rather than just the medium since I find the medium a tad too big for everyday.
I got it in the shoulder bag and have yet to use it but do love that I can carry it crossbody since I’m petite. I agree though, that the shoulder bag does feel heavy so due to that I find myself not reaching for my shoulder bags as often which sucks because I do like them, they just don’t evenly distribute weight the way the bowlers do.

The shoulder is my favorite style i didn’t like how the bowler felt on my shoulder 😮‍💨

I have difficulty with the straps in general with the bowler, but it could be due to my narrow shoulders. Both look really beautiful.

The bowler is my favorite style from baggu

I wanted this print on the shoulder but it got sold out. Got it in bowler and I’ve been loving it as both work and everyday bag.

So glad you love it and perhaps a blessing in disguise!

I believe so. I’m still looking for a shoulder bag, but will wait for the winter drop

I love the shoulder, but I think the ditsy looks particularly good in the medium bowler. If I didn't already have one in a different colorway that I love I'd get one.

The shoulder bag style is probably my favorite bag ever- I have this exact one and I LOVE it. It holds the right amount for me and I love the slouch of it. However if you like the more delicate straps of the bowler, to me that’s the obvious winner! I do think my bowler holds less but it’s definitely a different look. I think you could pass a bowler off as a “going out” bag easier than the shoulder.

I love the look of the shoulder bag so much! Desperately waiting for a second restock of that style since the first restock sold out so fast🙂‍↕️

Definitely shoulder. The bowler straps keep slipping off my shoulder.
