Does anyone feel like the Alexa mini is too small but the next size up is a tad too big? If they made a size in between it would honestly be perfect. I feel like Goldilocks here. Does anyone else feel the same?
Alexa dilemma

I'm having trouble with this too! I've been eyeing the new Alexa for a while now, and I'm leaning towards the regular. I'm a bit on the shorter side, so I'm wondering if it might be too big? I'm around 5'3-5'4. Perhaps the slouchiness (which I really like) makes it look less overwhelming compared to a more structured bag?
Couldn't agree more. I used to have the new mini alexa and sold it within three/four months bcs it's a tad too small for my daily use. The next size up though, I wish it was abit more structured since I never had success with big floppy bag and always find myself rummaging around trying to find my things
Thanks for sharing! I always have to bring a tablet and notebook for work, so the mini would only be for going out and not for daily use for me. I know from other threads that the heavy grain of the regular Alexa helps keep its structure a bit better and most use a purse organizer to help with that.
Ahh sad to hear you sold it. The mini Alexa holds what I need, but it just looks a bit too small for my frame and for the style it is. I'm someone who could never get behind the micro bag trend.
I just received my mini Alexa and you would really need to downsize on your essentials. Otherwise, the bag is great for errands or if you only carry the bare minimun.
I couldn’t have said it better. I love my regular Alexa! It’s my favourite bag. I have an old style and new. I do have an original Small Bayswater Satchel which I find slightly small at times but I agree it’s a good compromise (as is the mini zipped bayswater). I have a mini Alexa (it was pink and an Alexa so shouted buy me very loud) but it is quite little so not an every day bag for me.
Regular for work or everyday use.
Mini for an evening out with friends.
