Hello Lovelies!
I've been sucked into the Chanel Vortex, so now I'd like your opinions. I want an everyday bag, small, cross body, mainly for day, but can go into nights. Most of the time when I travel, I have a couple of days of downtime from work to skittish around cities. I thought I found true love when I saw the Bottega Veneta Mini Messenger, but that's not panned out very well. Then I thought, "Why not a mini?"
- I already have a Flap 225 and Boy WOC, why another Chanel?
- Chanels are awesome (yes they are!)
- Didn't want to go traipsing through cities with "CC" all over my bags (hence my above choices)
- BUT! I'm no longer young and naive, nor do I hang in places that are considered seedy. And even if someone were to try and snatch my bag, the bag is the least of my worries (karate anyone?) I'm grown...so that means insurance.
- The color I want--Burgundy--in caviar seemed to be only in Europe these seasons. That's okay, but did I even want the burgundy caviar? Not sure.
- The meat pack and chevron mini is what has caught my eye. Ideally, I'd love the chevron mini with the meat pack hardware, but no dice.
- Usually when I'm out and about in the daytime, I juggle my phone w/ battery case and sunglasses. Will they fit both?
- Has anyone figured out a cool way to store sunglasses when not being worn? I usually hang them on my clothes, or necklace...but how annoying!
- So in all my blabbering, would the mini be great for traipsing around the city or short day trips (when I'm not using a big bag and the WOC is not an option)
- OR, since I already have the WOC, would it be a moot point getting the mini?
- I've seen the support for lambskin and how tough it is. But ease my mind here. Is it *really* tough?
Thanks so much everyone!
