Thank you kindly, rikkuex! I find it works well for both! That's what I love about mini bags, so versatile. I add the crossbody strap when I want it to look more casual. The mini LD is also the most spacious mini bag I have come across. I prefer to use it handheld for a more ladylike look though.Thank you, your mini LD is gorgeous too!! Do you find that it works for casual day to day use or is it more of a dress-up bag?
