Haha well let us all know if I was wrong! Unfortunately, their customer service chat doesn't save indefinitely so I couldn't go back and verify. I did find the picture but this color looks lilac-y to me so I'm not sure anymore. View attachment 5354682

So I think the one you’re holding here is the midi. The midi seems to have 6-8 of the ‘larger’ croc ‘squares’ on each side of the clasp, whereas the mini looks more like it has 4-5.

Plus they wrote me back and confirmed that the soft taupe hasn’t been produced in the mini Mayfair or the hat box. :crybaby:

Thank you for sharing this info though!

Takeaways:
  • The new pink color is more muted than it appears on their website, which I like
  • The nano Mayfair, while cute as heck, doesn’t fit credit cards very well, so it will go back. Was thinking of using it as a cute wallet or bag charm but since credit cards don’t even fit, it doesn’t serve enough of a purpose
  • The dark gray wallet is bigger than I thought, so it will go back
  • I LOVE the ‘soft taupe’ color and want to get a bag in it, but the midi Mayfair would be way too similar to my Valextra. So I’m really torn. If they had it in the mini Mayfair or hat box, it’d be a done deal.

Oh my lord, this is all so beautiful! What a display. I love the colour choices you’ve made. Are the shades all a bit darker than the website? That’s what I found. I think you have some good thoughts on what to keep. I like the nano but it has to have a purpose so I can see your decision. I love the pink zipped lipstick/cosmetic case in the middle. Is the grey purse a Mayfair?

I’m wondering about a midi Mayfair in one of the burgundy shades after seeing your lovely burgundy bags (I think it was yours) but also considering the Polene nano uno in that shade.

And I’m trying not buy anything….

I’m trying not to buy anything too, lol, bags at least. One thing I just realized by getting these different pieces is that I MUCH prefer the regular embossed croc over the patent croc. And the pink and the soft taupe are both the patent, so that’s something I need to think about.

This looks like a mini. The mini Mayfair was produced in lilac last spring. I’m kicking myself for not picking it up last year. I ended up going with a mini Mayfair in Aqua. If you’re in the market for a taupe in the mini Aspinal usually drops their pre summer collection in mid April. There is a chance it might become available then.

If you go for the burgundy, it’s a beautiful color. The shades are usually fairly close to the website. Here is what my burgundy mayfair looks like. It’s one of my favorite bags. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. C4B3FE4D-8031-42E0-ADD0-75A116244628.jpeg

I meant to respond to other parts of your post also. Yes the gray purse is a Mayfair. I for some reason thought it would be the same size as a Chanel card case but it’s definitely more of a regular medium wallet size, which, it’s not like it’s big but I’ve found that a fold over card case is as big as I ever like to go, for my main wallet.

Yes, I do have a burgundy bag, the Chanel coco handle and I find burgundy to be an incredibly versatile color at least for me.

If you’re looking at this colorway, I can’t help but push you towards this one. I think it’s newer on their site but I just think it looks incredible. If I didn’t have my coco handle, I’d probably have ordered this immediately. The ombré… :loveeyes:

That's good to know. I didn't know there were 2 types of crocs. I prefer the non patent croc too.
