The gossip holds more and is less heavy, but I feel like the hourglass might be slightly higher quality (not saying the gossip isn't), since the structure is thicker. I use the gossip much more, just because of it's weight and it's easy to get in and out of.

I have a love-hate relationship with Balenciaga leather goods in that I love the design and aesthetic but detest the leather quality and construction! I find the leather to be thin and dry. Am I the only one? I’ve spoken to a number of balenciaga enthusiasts and it seems that leather quality differs season to season and with each passing year progressively worse… all of which is very disappointing to say the least. Nevertheless, I still maintain the love I have for Nicholas Ghesquiere and what he did for the brand.
