I need some advice. I splurged last month & purchased a medium nero veneta on BlueFly & also purchased this mini shoulder bag at Neimans. I definitely want to keep the medium veneta but not sure if I should keep this mini bag! Any thoughts??

Thank you!

It's cute and would be a nice alternative to a clutch for evening activities if you have that need.

LLA - ITA. If you will use the bag, it is worth keeping.

I have this bag and it is great for evening and formal events! Definitely keep it!!

It would also be nice when travelling, if you want something you can keep close to your body with just the minimum in it...

I'm totally into buying the beautiful basics and then renting the fun or unique stuff. Check it out - you still spend the same $$, but you get more options, and I don't have to worry about where I'm going to keep the stuff in my ever-smaller closest! uugg..

my rule is always, if you're doubting it, it's not worth keeping.

personally the mini shoulder bag is too mini to be too useful, I think the funds could go toward another BV.

Couldn't have said it better.

After seeing the lovely pink one in Megs' blog, I bought one in my fav colour ebano but returned it, because simply put, it didn't work for me and I didn't really love it.

a) it was too big for my absolute necessities, and too small for my second necessities.
b) it didn't look good on me, dare I say, the combination of the colour and the shape made it a bit too mature-looking to me.

I'd say keep it if you see yourself using it and absolutely loving it.

dolphingirl · Mar 1st, 2008, 08:42 PM

It's a really small bag. Ditto with Mundo.

I've had 2 of these and ended up never using them and selling them at a big loss. You'd be better off with a simple clutch, frankly. It's hard to resist them, I know!

Nymph · Mar 1st, 2008, 11:06 PM

I would keep it if you had use for it. Otherwise, if you were keeping it simply cos it was cute, then I would say that you should return it.

Personally, that mini purse is waaaaaay too small for me, so it would be impractical.

Mediana · Mar 2nd, 2008, 12:53 AM

It's cute but really tiny. I wouldn't keep it
