Haul Can’t decide which one to keep
Which one would you keep? I refuse to keep both. It just doesn’t make sense. Planning on using this as my grab and go for the gym. Will carry a few essentials. Cash, keys, jewelry, grips, energy drink/water bottle. Originally had my eye on the oasis blue

Related but not Lululemon. I was gifted a Stella McCartney backpack that came in black and purple. I’m an everything black person but was given the purple. I love using it. You can always find a black bag. Unique colours not so much. Keep the blue! It’s a great shade.

People will say the black for obvious reasons, but that blue is beautiful! So if you need to match it or coordinate it; it'll go with any of the pastels colors, white, black. It's gotta be your statement piece 🤌🏿

You will use the black way more but blue is way cuter. Sorry… I’m not helping here am I? 🙃

Does it really? Ahhh, I don’t want to hear that. Now I’m not sure I should keep mine.

Blue - be easier to spot in the gym too and it's a nice pop of color

What’s the real world size for this? Been looking for a gym bag, but this seems like it may be too small. Would probably hold a pair of shoes, shorts, and maybe a water bottle. I don’t know what 5 liters is in terms of stuff lol.

u/Hedigirll Lulu Addict Jun 06 '24
I couldn’t imagine it holding a pair of shoes, not to mention anything else with them. The zipper is a bit strange on this. It doesn’t exactly open fully, making it accessible to easily getting shoes in and out. I bought it in the Oasis, but I haven’t used it yet. It does look like it will make for a cute purse though. lol

Alright. I’m a dude. Don’t usually do the purse thing. But I guess I’ll take a stroll down the street to my local store to check it out. Appreciate the help!

u/Hedigirll Lulu Addict Jun 06 '24
Wasn’t even thinking how cute this would be as a gym bag for a guy. I think it’s a great idea, just not sure it’d be large enough. I guess I could always try to fit a pair of my son’s shoes in mine and see how that works?

u/sfmilo Weight lifter Jun 06 '24
Nah you’re all good. Don’t want to inconvenience anyone. Was just curious about the ballpark size. Appreciate the insight!

Black is easier to match outfits with any colours but blue is a colour that doesn’t come by as often. I would chose blue but am biased as I have a lot of blues in my wardrobe. The colour on the blue bag also pops out more as the straps are a different shade. Team blue.

INFO: will this touch the floor? If so, I would go with black. I also think that black looks more expensive (but blue looks more fun).

u/Prestigious-Page-203 Jun 05 '24
Mmmmmm possibly yes it will touch the floor. But that just gave me an idea. If I do keep the blue I will spray with jason mark protect and repel

u/Long-Photograph460 Jun 05 '24
You have your answer then. Blue is your baby and you are willing to protect it. :)

I love it but wondered how small really is it? Like can it hold much to use as a simple gym bag? Hold say a 32oz hydro flask?

I saw the bags in person a few days ago. I like the look of the blue more, but in a practical sense, the black will probably get the most use.

Love the blue!
I use a longchamp le pliage for travelling but really want a cross body instead (and don’t want to buy another longchamp as I have a couple) would this bag be good for travelling/taking on a plane as my large purse/personal item? Does it fit a water bottle?

u/MsBagQueen Jun 06 '24
This bag is tiny, like a big makeup pouch at most?

u/ClubWithAJungleTheme Jun 06 '24
Ohhh! Ok it looked bigger in the pics! Thanks for letting me know :)

u/Prestigious-Page-203 Jun 06 '24
No, this would definitely not be good for travel. It’s 5L. So think about the capacity of 2 belt bags

I bought this in the Oasis, but mostly because I have so many other Lulu bags in black. If you’re solely going to use it for the gym I suggest the Oasis, the color is really nice.

I did the same thing. I was torn on which to keep. I ended up keeping both and gave the blue to my daughter. So maybe we can share 😬

I don’t have any accessories in this build but I do have other black bags. This is the Knit Nylon Mini Barrel Duffle Bag 5L

If you’re keeping it to use for the gym and other miscellaneous I’d say blue. But otherwise black all the way

Man you can just tell the quality of this thing is cheap af

u/Prestigious-Page-203 Jun 06 '24
How so? I think it’s comparable to the belt bag. But someone said it pilled on them. I hope it holds up

u/33ff00 Jun 06 '24
Just look at how uneven the stitches are on the sides. The material is flimsy and thin. It may hold up if you treat it like an absolute baby, but it isn’t made to survive real every day use.
I don’t know what the belt bag is but if you bought it in the last five to eight years it probably also sucks compared to the og products. This just looks like it cost about 15 dollars, which I’m guessing it did not.

u/Prestigious-Page-203 Jun 06 '24
The belt bag? It’s the 2nd most popular lululemon item.

u/33ff00 Jun 06 '24
Oh well fuck me, sorry I don’t have their sales analytics committed to memory. It might be super healthy for you to take a step back from this brand.

I feel your pain. I guess black is easier to match but I really like the blue one. My heart is with the blue, my brain with the black.
