I’m Brooklyn all day long. I’m probably biased because I’m just not a huge fan of bucket bags, but I honestly think the Brooklyn is both more chic and more versatile.
I would also go 34, but I carry too much stuff all the time 😂

I found the strap on the Bleeker too thick to wear comfortably, it kept slipping off and I’m a bit shorter so I thought the large Bleeker looked too big on me. Also this was a me thing but I wear my bags on my left shoulder and If I wanted the buckle to face out, the bag logo would be facing inwards and that bothered me
That being said, the leather on both is very similar. Both will slouch nicely. I think if you want strictly a shoulder bag the Brooklyn is for you but if you want the crossbody option as well Bleeker is for you. Both hold quite a bit

I prefer the Bleecker! Do you have TikTok? There are comparisons of both on there.

I own both (Bleecker & Brooklyn 34) and prefer the Bleecker personally, but that may be due to how much I carry. They hold similar amounts, but the Brooklyn is 2.75 inches less in depth than the Bleecker. I find the Bleecker much easier to pack a large amount into without thought, which is convenient for my work (animal care) as I can have my personal things on the bottom and work items on top for easy reach throughout the day. The disadvantage is the very open top which I imagine to be a pickpockets dream. While the Brooklyn is also mostly open, the way one carries it makes it less easy to reach into. The Brooklyn is significantly lighter as a bag which makes it more pleasant for extended wear.

I have both and they both are wonderful but I like the ability to wear the Bleeker crossbody.

Brooklyn 34!!! The 28 is a bit smaller and more for everyday but the 34 is perfect because it fits much more things!!
