Celine Nano Luggage vs. Proenza Schouler PS11 Tiny: A friendly comparison

Having an eeny, meeny, miny, moe moment when it comes to the Celine Nano Luggage and 

the Proenza Schouler PS11 Tiny? Let me help you with that.

Brand: Celine

Style: Nano Luggage

Dimensions: 8″H x 8″W x 4″D 

Strap length: 45"

Colour: Red

Made in: Italy

Material: Drummed leather

Interior material: Micro suede 

Pros: An adorable cross body bag, the Nano is ideal for someone looking for a hands-free option that's roomy yet structured -- and still has the look of the iconic Celine Luggage. 

The drummed, or pebbled, leather is durable and relatively scratch resistant - a nice trait for a small bag that rubs against your clothes and swings around your body most of the day.

Cons: I've said it before and I will say it again ... the interior of this bag is micro suede, a fact I find totally unacceptable. If you're going to plunk down more than $2,000 for any handbag (I don't care if it's Celine, Chanel, Mulberry, or ...?) I think every detail of the bag should be top tier -- even the oft-unseen interior. Very disappointing.

Brand: Proenza Schouler

Style: PS11 Tiny

Dimensions: 7.5"L x 2.5"W x 6.5" H

Strap length: 40"/ 20.5" Drop
Colour: Oil Slick
Made in: Italy
Material: Patent leather
Interior material: Leather

Pros: The sturdy construction of the Proenza Schouler PS11 Tiny allows it to be but more than just an occasional-use handbag -- even with this unique finish.   

Cons: While the sturdy construction makes this bag virtually sag proof, it also makes it a tad stiff.

Overall Comparison: I can comfortably carry my iPhone, sunglasses case, wallet, keys and small makeup essentials in the Nano. When I'm travelling, it's also not a stretch to fit a small digital camera inside as well. 

The PS11 Tiny, on the other hand, only fits a small wallet, lipstick, keys and cellphone before it starts looking uncomfortably stuffed. 

Final word: While the price point is slightly better on the PS11 Tiny, and despite my distaste over the Celine Nano's non-leather interior, I would opt for the Nano any day.

 It's roomier, has a longer strap and just seems to offer a little more bang for your designer buck.
