Le Parmentier or DeMellier bag?

[Needtofixmyageingskin]

Hello bag experts.
I'm looking to buy a new bag and have come across DeMellier and Le Parmentier which have lovely bags in my budget. Anyone had either of these brands before? Here are links to the bags I like but can't decide!

Have you seen /touched either in person?
Demellier bags are very disappointing irl
In my opinion , I've not seen the other brand to compare.

No I haven't actually seen either irl. Maybe I should do that first. Not sure Le Parmentier is stocked in shops in London

I am very down on Demellier too and haven't seen Le Parmentier in the flesh. You might like Atelier Auguste bags, those I have seen and fondled and can vouch for the craftsmanship, don't own one though so can't report back on that.

I have a DeMellier (New York) and love it. Can’t comment on the quality of the other brand, but of the two you like I love the Le Parmentier one.
