Hi all. I have a grey selleria mini, but am now thinking of getting a black Essentially. Earlier this year I decided against the black Essentially because of its gold hardware.....and so I went with the grey mini (plus I was looking for a nice crossbody bag at the time). Now I don’t care about the gold hardware so much....
My question is.....are these two bags too similar??? One is mini size, the other is slightly bigger. I have some pics for comparison. My reasoning is, I like to wear my mini crossbody. I would wear the Essentially on my shoulder, or handheld. I feel like the mini is kind of small to be worn on the arm. I feel like the Essentially is more polished because of the smooth calfskin. Whereas the mini is more casual because of the selleria. Am I crazy for wanting the black Essentially too? Please tell me your honest thoughts. Pics below.
Also, I want to get this strap (in the last photo) to go with it.....part of me wants to get the bag to go with the strap.....is that crazy? But also I think I have valid reasons too (see above). They didn’t have a black Essentially that time so I tried it with a regular grey selleria (which is too big for me).
Thoughts???
