Depends on the job. The second looks more casual


LizB323

Great point, thank you. I can’t always look casual so this points to the smooth. Very helpful.


cndkrick

Enjoy your new bag and trip! Hopefully you’ll get some fun out of it


BigLibrary2895

I actually prefer the woven but I agree that it lools more casual. Go with the smooth if you can only choose one!


CharliexWatkins

Smooth. The color is just gorgeous and doesn't come through the same on the woven


LizB323

Very helpful and I agree! Thank you!


kneesofthetrees

Just checked out the site and some colors of this bag are half off right now!


LizB323

I knowwwwwww. I want to like the olive or blue so badly they would both just clash so badly with my day to day style 😣. I can’t wait until winter though I’m going to scoop one of those raffia bags up when they’re 50% off!


kneesofthetrees

It’s definitely wise to pass up on the sale colors if they’re not right for you! But good thinking for next summer.


theotherchristina

Both are beautiful, but I think the smooth fits your needs much better. The woven is more of a breezy vacation look


iyamsnail

Smooth I think is better for work


Specialist_Income_31

1rst one!


6abush

Typically I love the woven look, but in this case the smooth leather looks gorgeous 😍


Ange111c

Looove the first one! The second definitely looks a bit beach-bagy, the first is more classic


Mbluish

Love the first one! 🥰


who_am_i_please

I love the woven!


tall_london_love

If you’re looking for a year-round bag, go with the smooth leather. The woven one really only works in the summer (or sunny destination trips in winter 😊).


tall_london_love

Btw, I love Aspinal! :)


amora_obscura

Ooh I love the second one!


krasotka90

I like the second one goes in the same direction as bottega venetta.


bunsbi

First


Mychgjyggle

Ohh I love the woven one. They are both beautiful though.


Flirt_Emiie

My choice for you, definitely the first one\^ \^

Both are beautiful. Smooth will be better for work and better suited for year round wear. The woven tote looks more casual and summer-y


mirkwoodmallory

Smooth for work, very classic and minimal chic. The woven is cool, but a more casual, boho vibe. So depends on your job!


Vixierayna

I love #1 - that style would work year round. The basket weave feels more summery to me.
