Hi All! I am debating between a mini and a medium iconic, most likely in black nappa leather. I have two questions:

1) For those of you that have a medium, can/do you wear it crossbody? How does it look/hang?

2) For those of you with a mini, can you fit a lot in it? It looks so tiny on some people.

While I don't carry a ton, I carry a fair amount: small wallet, pouch w/epi pen, a soft and hard glasses case, portable charger, keys.

Open to any and all thoughts!

I have the mini peekaboo and the small essentially.. I love both of them. The essentially is slightly bigger, more of a size between the mini and the medium. I am using my mini right now and it really holds more than you would think...everything, I need.

Thank you! Have you tried the medium iconic in person? I did a couple of years ago in NYC but can't place the sizing for some reason. I really want the option of wearing it crossbody when I'm on vacation, shopping etc.

I'm deciding between preloved medium black selleria or nappa OR mini black nappa.

Haha, I am also trying to decide between mini or medium, I also don't carry a lot daily, wallet, phone, keys, lip balm. I tried the mini in the store and it is very cute and I think it will look better crossbody. They didn't have any medium in store.

I just feel like the mini is limited in its capacity. The medium seems like a good all around bag, you don't need to think too much about what to carry, you can just throw in whatever you need and it will fit. The only con is that it may not look good as a crossbody because of its size.

I think the question is how often would you wear it crossbody?

That's a good question. Maybe 50-60% of the time? Most often traveling/vacation. Shopping. My son and husband always has things for me to "hold" lol. With the mini, I feel like it'll fill up quick.

I have seen the mediums with a strap you that almost looks like it's intentionally sitting higher on the hip crossbody.

I think I'm going to go with the medium. My only other question now is: calfskin or selleria? :)

Well, agree with the medium if you need to carry other people's stuff and to use for traveling.
I haven't thought about wearing it higher on the body for crossbody, it was a bummer when I went to the store they didn't have any medium's for me to try.
My personal opinion, I would go for calfskin but the selleria would be more carefree.

Hi ladies,

I currently own both the medium and mini iconics. Though I never wore it this way, the medium can definitely go crossbody comfortably--for reference, I am 5'4". The mini definitely looks tiny, but it holds a deceptively decent amount of items. Originally, I bought the iconic medium in calfskin thinking it would be the be-all, end-all for me, but I am now in the process of selling it because I actually find it to be too large and too heavy for my needs. (The medium in nappa probably weighs less than it does in calfskin, however.)

I have since purchased the mini in nappa leather and it is PERFECT. It's lightweight and easily carries my essentials with both sides left open: soft sunglasses pouch, LV 4-key holder, LV key pouch as a wallet, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone XR, envelope card case, small cosmetics pouch, travel pack of tissues. I will say that if you plan on clasping the compartments on the mini, it may reduce your capacity a bit depending on what you carry. Otherwise, it's the perfect day-to-night bag. I hope this helps!

Hello fellow Peekaboo lovers - I’m finally getting around to sharing my recent-ish mini purchase. I first fell in love with Fendi’s Selleria leather with an “Anna” bucket bag in fuchsia (circa 2013). I LOVED that bag and always got compliments on it. The leather was the most DIVINE, soft, and almost sponge-like (yet hardy). I remember the SA telling me something like the cows are selected based on their school entrance exam scores, are fed organic caviar snacks, and only graze on one patch of a particular hill that’s always sunny and 70 degrees year round, which made perfect sense to me when I touched the remarkable leather.

The bag, though, was BIG and made a similarly large statement that I eventually got tired of making, so I rehomed it. But I never forgot the leather, the fantastic color, or the impeccable workmanship. Also I have loved the Peekaboo style since its introduction but never followed through on a purchase, partially because it seemed heavy compared to my other medium-sized bags. I “scratched the itch” for a small fuchsia bag with several from other houses, all of them ultimately also rehomed because they just weren’t the right thing.

Then I ran across this mini earlier in the summer and snapped her up. I am so glad that I was able to finally find the right Peekaboo with this amazing color, hardware, and leather!
