Life & Style claims they've found the perfect size bag: the YSL Downtown tote, but I beg to differ. Don't get me wrong, the Downtown tote is definitely gorg and a really good travel bag, but we think it's too big for everyday use. What can one girl possibly store in such a gigantic purse? Notice how tiny Ashlee Simpson looks next to her red tote. She could probably hide in it if she ever wants to get away from her eyeliner-wearing boyfriend, Pete Wentz!

I love that Prada bag. I especially love the strap, its gorgeous.
1I love both bags...but the Prada is definitely my favorite!!!
2I agree that the Prada bag is a better size for everyday than the YSL bag.
3Personally, I agree with the YSL bag, it looks amazing and I wish I could see what the other bag choices are, or find something similar but more budget friendly. But then I've always been a big purse girl.
4if i had that YSL bag, i don't think i'll need my room anymore! you can fit everything in there! i think the prada bag has a more practical size...
5the prada bad is 10 million times prettir, but the YSL size i think is more practical for me, but it just depends on who you are. i don't think there's a standard purse size.
6Yea, it's kind of big, but I'm a big girl bag. And believe me, I can find things to put in it. lol Don't like the Prada bag so much though.
7The YSL bag is more appealing to me, but the Prada bag is a much better size. I'm not sure what I'd do with an enormous bag. What do you even put in there?
8Good call! I adore the Prada. I was holding this very bag the other day, on Rodeo Drive. It was like butta.
9I looove that bag, it's hot. But I'd pretty much be sleeping on a park bench using it for a pillow if I bought it.
10Not bad.
11I'm not a big fan of the Prada bag but I love the YSL.
12i like big size purses but no oversizes! :S im tiny so i can wear oversize purse i would look weird!
but the prada is cute!
13Yeah the YSL bag is large but I could prob. rock it sinc I am a tall girl (6'1"). The Prada bag is a better size but I think it's ugly. Maybe it's the color.
14Where is the white bag from on the far left, shown on the bottom?
15No complaints for either one. I like them both!
16I dunno... they are ugly to me...
17The prada does not look to bad. I would not carry one.
18i like both bags, but in terms of size, the ysl would be more practical for me. right now, my bag handles the overflow from my bookbag and still has to have other functions so it's about the same size of the ysl.
19I love them both!
20I bought a Harijuku Lovers bag that's around the same size as the YSL one, and it's actually the perfect size, plus it was only $88. It's also "casual" enough but still really cute, so I don't stress too much about keeping it spotless. I live in Seattle, so I tend to wear layers and always carry an umbrella, so it's perfect for throwing a hoodie or sweater into, as well as carrying around half of my vanity/closet that I can't seem to leave home without.
21Eep! I suck! *Harajuku Lovers
22I love the YSL bag but it only works if you are tall. The Prada is great too although not as great as a shoulder bag. I love the Gryson Olivia (which I saw Michelle Williams carrying). It's big but functional.
23I don't care I still want the YSL downtown in purple...
24I don't like either. I think its a texture/color thing, I like the sizes of both, though.
25That bag is beautiful. The texture in it is great! I bet it would get really dirty though.
26shopsueyboutique.com has an AMAZING YSL downtown inspired bag, for those interested...as well as many other it-bags like the paddington (just got mine, love it) and the marc jacobs stam...plus free sunglasses with a $40 purchase!
27Yesterday I was in the mall and passed the YSL store. I had to look in as I walked past it, but I couldn't go in. My boyfriend laughed at me.
ceschreiber, the white bag is from akostyle.com
amandaaa, I've been looking at the bags from shopsuey, and for the past day and a half I've been consumed with the dilema - silver or red?
28i love the YSL bag. its big, cute, and you can basically live out of it. i LOVE big bags and this one would be perfect for me to add to my collection...ugh..now its just the point of getting my bf to buy it
29amandaa..i was just about to say...i got my juicy inspired bag from there & I gotta say i ♥ the bag!
30that really is the perfect size - I love the shape of it, too. However, something about the leather on it looks ugly to me - and the price is just absurd.
31I agree with this one. I like the Prada better than the YSL.
