Three bags - which to choose? Please help!

Have been wanting a new, not too formal and structured everyday bag for ages and, after exhaustive study of the brands I usually like, am now dithering between these three:
www.mintvelvet.co.uk/product/katrina-tan-tassel-saddle-bag/14818
www.mintvelvet.co.uk/product/granite-zip-detail-saddle-bag/13450
www.johnlewis.com/mint-velvet-lola-leather-double-zip-hobo-bag/dark-grey/p3392701

Please let me have votes/ comments to help make up my mind. My present everyday bag is falling to pieces!
TIA.

i like the first one :)

Mercurial123 · 30/04/2018 17:49

The first one.

JDSTER · 30/04/2018 17:55

I like first two and depends which colour you prefer?

pigpoglet · 30/04/2018 17:56

First one is lovely!!

SorrelForbes · 30/04/2018 18:01

The third one.

Hooleywhipper · 30/04/2018 18:02

You’ve got great taste OP, I love them all.

Chottie · 30/04/2018 18:03

No. 2 for me. The colour is so flexible, suitable for all seasons and goes with everything.

No. 3 is just too fussy (IMO)

Madbengalmum · 30/04/2018 18:04

I like the first one, second one is ok, don't like the third one.

PinkbicyclesinBerlin · 30/04/2018 18:06

The first one

smudgedlipstick · 30/04/2018 18:07

Love love love the last one 😍

Daffodils78 · 30/04/2018 18:09

One of the first two, I prefer the tan

BewareOfDragons · 30/04/2018 18:09

I like the 3rd one most.

Mowershoed · 30/04/2018 18:17

I got a cheaper version of the first one. I love it already it goes with formal and informal wear

and have thrown out other bags as it’s much superior to them

Toyboysrus · 30/04/2018 18:18

The third one for me as I prefer zip top bags, the flapover bit on the first two would get on my nerves.

IrisApfelRocks · 30/04/2018 18:19

I don't like the tan one. I love the grey ones I think they will age beautifully too

TroubledLichen · 30/04/2018 18:19

First one!

Namethecat · 30/04/2018 18:21

Love the third one !

ggirl · 30/04/2018 18:24

I have one very like the first one..it looks great but having to keep opening the flap is annoying.
But for looks I like the first one best .

DontCallMeCharlotte · 30/04/2018 18:25

First one.

FallenAngel89 · 30/04/2018 18:26

The first one 😊

Longlunch · 30/04/2018 18:30

I love the colour and shape of the second one!

Thank you so much everyone - votes pretty split at moment. Please do keep them coming.
On colour, I like both grey and tan - tan a bit more summery I guess, but who knows when/ if we’ll have a summer!
Think I’d be OK with the flap as my present bag has one. But like a top zip too!

I love the katrina one by mint velvet. It's structured and extremely versatile. Not as severe as black.
The other two are too slouchy for my liking

storynanny · 30/04/2018 22:28

Apart from the fussy zips, I like the third one best because sometimes you just need to put it on your shoulder not over the body and that bag has both options.
I’m 61 though so you might not want to take style advice from me!

HistoriaTrixie · 30/04/2018 22:28

I like the first one far and away more than the other two.
