I have a thing for smaller messenger bags with flap closures. For reals. I don't know if it's an inherited tendency but it's very, very apparent.

So, yesterday I happened upon these beauty, the Mini Capri Messenger!! I adore the shiny gold HW and slightly tailored look of it, plus the cool side pockets (did I mention that I am also a lipgloss freak? It's the perfect spot to stash my MAC stash!)

So....thoughts?

Capri Mini Messenger in Wine:

Capri MM in Cognac:

Capri MM in Chocolate:

And it also comes in black, but I couldn't find a pic for it. Now, what color do you think that I should get? (P.S.: I don't have bags in any of these colors except for black, since my wine bag is currently up for sale)

Ooh so cute! I love this look! The wine is gorgeous (I love reds/purples). Wish I could see some modeling pics eventually just to get an idea of how big/small this baby it. Thanks for sharing :)

Do you happen to know the size of this? I've been looking for a messenger bag similar to RM's mini beloved(I gave up on RM because it is no where to be found). I would love to see the width on this one and I hope the strap is not too long.

I love the cognac one...so yuuuummy looking!

starkfan · Aug 11th, 2009, 05:51 PM

It's pretty cute! It definitely looks like a decently-sized messenger that's not too small, not too big... The Wine's a stunning leather, too! (There's a pic of Black available at Muse Ten, BTW!)

tejava, the dimensions are listed as l:14 h:8.5 d:5.5 at Treesje.com, and 13" wide, 9.5" high, and 5" deep at Muse Ten. Muse Ten also has the strap drop listed, adjustable from 14.5" to 17.5". Looks like a pretty decent size! I think it might be a bit bigger than RM's Mini Beloved.

That's so cute, Lo! The wine pops out at me :)

Another vote for WINE!!!

Wine, just a perfect fall color, IMO!

Cute colorful fall colors!

Wine! I'm a huge sucker for dark burgandy/reds. Please please post mod pics when you get the bag!

I'm loving cognac...

tejava · Aug 12th, 2009, 09:13 AM

starkfan: Thanks for the dimensions, so this will be the perfect replacement for the non existent RM mini beloved.

lvdreamer · Aug 12th, 2009, 11:08 AM

I love the wine or the cognac. I vote wine since you are selling your wine bag, but I am currently in love with cognac leather and I think cognac will be TDF!

maddgiggler · Aug 12th, 2009, 01:22 PM

This is a cute bag! I love the wine but the cognac is very stunning as well.

jxwilliams · Aug 12th, 2009, 04:37 PM

I love the style, I would say wine then cognac!! Wine is perfect for fall!
