My mom recently purchased the Mansur Gavriel mini bucket from Holt Renfrew. But she doesn't like into it. Just went to Holt to browse and notice this cutie is on sale. We decided to do an exchange (this bag was on sale then got marked back up and now 60% off)

My first AMQ bag and I have to choose between these two Mini bags. I love both, the Mini Legend and the Mini Heroine for different reasons, but only can and want to keep one.

Pros The Mini Heroine
- cheaper than Mini Legend with 50% off and price tag 670€ / Mini Legend is 770€ with only 30% off
- a little different to Mini Legend which is more in style like others
- a little bigger, fits more stuff than the Mini Legend
- interoir looks of higher quality than the Mini Legend which just looks very very cheap
- strap is adjustable and easier to put off than with the Legend

Pros The Mini Legend
- Reptile Leather Look looks more high quality than the simple black leather Mini Heroine
- a little more everyday style
- lighter (400g to 600g)
- strap is thicker and of higher quality to me

They both fit my iPhone 6 Plus and LV Marie Compact wallet which was very important...

Give me some help please. I really love and wanna keep both as they are totally different but own another small expensive bag already, LV Alma BB Vernis! So I don't think I need both!

Because of price and different style than other bags I tend a little to the Mini Heroine but the Mini Legend with it's reptile look looks really amazing and stylish!

Mini Legend. to me it looks more balanced, especially when you wear it with strap.

My choice would be the Legend. Love!
 
One more vote for the mini Heroine. Aside that it is bigger, the shape is unique and as you mentioned, it doesn't look like any other bags' style.
By the way, how big is it - by any chance you can spot some mod pics?
 
Thank you all for your input!

I still can't decide! A good friend says she would take the Legend in a second because it looks good and normal to wear but that I was always someone who liked different style and colors in bags which she doesn't!
The Legend is way more comfortable to wear because of weight and strap! Still have a few days left to decide!
What's really annoying with the Legend is the interior! It really looks very cheap, like cheap cotton or something while the Heroine's interior in suede looks very good ! Otherwise I guess I would have gone with the Legend as I wanted to get a LV Nano bag and the Legend looks a lot like the Turenne/LockIt Nano only a bit bigger!

And the Heroine is pretty much like my LV Alma BB when it comes to size! I don't own a smaller bag like the Legend! Oh man, I would have bought the Heroine without the with Reptile look in a second I guess! I love that look! Well at the end and with that price it comes to what I'm gonna wear more... I guess that would be the Mini Legend! But 100€ more expensive with only 30% off, Heroine was 50% off, it's still not easy!

If I take a look at the google pics almost no shots of the Legend but many of the Mini Heroine esp celebs carrying it!

I try to do some mod shots when I have time! But if you google Mini Heroine you see a lot of people/celebs carry this cute bag!

Mini Heroine in a heartbeat. The design of that bag is SO cool and unique. I want one!!!!

I know what you mean about the reptile look, but the shape of the bag has been done before. The Mini Heroine is different but not so trendy that it will look out of date in another year or whatever. Plus, I agree with you, consideration of the quality of the lining is important. I love a beautiful suede lining inside a bag!!! And from an objective standpoint, you seem to be leaning towards the Mini Heroine.

Good luck and let us know what you decide!
 
Hello ladies- I completely fell in love with knuckle duster clutches recently. I only have one evening clutch & it's not a very nice one so I am def due for a nice clutch. The thing is knuckle duster clutches look so narrow and I'm worried it won't fit much at all. Those of you who own a knuckle duster clutch- how do you feel about it? How much can you fit in it? I just need it to fit a phone, a (squishy) coin purse and some makeup...
 
I decided for the Mini Heroine because of two things:

It's a very special bag no other designer offers. Typical AMQ!
And it looks of higher quality esp the lining!
And it looks just like nothing else in my collection. I can purchase something similar like the Mini Legend, as good as it looks, from many labels/designers!

I just love my new Mini Heroine!
