Also new to Celine and bought the mini in light taupe. I’m in love! I felt the micro was too small and appreciate that the mini has “feet”.
Yes super love that the mini has feet! Honestly just the right size for me cause i use it with my laptop. Was thinking of getting ghe taupe but was worried about the upkeep - how are you finding it so far? Is it easy to clean?
As you mentioned, with the pandemic, I haven't really had many excuses to leave the house and show off any of the new bags I've still been acquiring.. with nothing much else to do, I think my bags and shoes obsessions have gotten worse! But the thing that I love about the Celine - even in the light taupe - is how durable it feels. With its grainy, almost pebbled finish, I definitely don't feel the need to be so paranoid about being mindful of my surroundings like I do with some of my other bags that have much smoother finishes. It took me almost 2 years of lusting after this bag and every time I came across someone's blog article about it, they couldn't stop raving about how it was such a practical bag for everyday use and highlighted the fact that it could take such a heavy beating and still look great. I LOVE this bag and will likely get the gray one eventually, or maybe the luggage bag... decisions decisions! PS - I don't worry too much about resale value because when I have ended up selling pieces, I am not usually in a rush and can wait for the right buyer to come along and be willing to negotiate a fair price for what my bags are worth when factoring the brand, style, upkeep, etc. Good luck in your decision!
