balenciaga mini, fashion fad or classic?

[alessia70]

Hi all,

I'm obsessed with the mini city, but i dont want to buy something that's just a fad (i regret my LV murakami bags ...).

Would you say the mini city is here to stay??

Thanks for your input!!

I'll start by saying that I don't believe the mini is a classic. That doesn't mean it still couldn't keep being popular and will stay around for a while ... in my honest opinion though, I think all of the mini bags are a trend.

I agree with Livia

Hmm I don't think mini bags are a fad but micro mini bags (fendi i'm looking at you) which can't even fit a phone/wallet are a huge fad.

I personally have the mini city and love it to bits. I can fit LOADS in it - phone, wallet, small bottle of water, makeup~ it's so cute and functional!!!

Don't think it's a classic, don't think it's a fad either. It's just a really awesome bag!

I had the same question recently and even asked a SA this. It really is a cute bag but trend all the way.

Yeah I'm personally not too crazy about them. You're better off buying a regular sized City.

P.S - I think LV Murakami bags are still relevant...They're special edition bags so the re-sale value is higher than a regular monogram bag.

If you have any concerns about longevity go for the regular City, or buy a mini on the secondary market so that if/when it does start to look dated (I don't think it will happen for a little bit, but I do think it will happen), you won't regret paying full retail for it. They pop up on eBay and other resale sites pretty often, sometimes at amazing prices.

IMO, it's a fad bag. I much prefer the aesthetic of the First, which I find timeless.

Ohh yes, the First, the most perfectly proportioned Bal imo ... only wish the strap was longer

Yes mini bags are a fad. But I don't think once they're out I'll stop wearing them if they go with my style. I actually like the idea of seasonal/fad bags as they kind of represent an era, and in some weird way show a part of history.

I really love the mini city, I wouldn't consider it a fad bag sometimes you just want something smaller to just put like your cards, phone, and planner in. It appeals to me because it's a small size and NOT a WOC style.

Thanks for all your input! I think i agree its sort of a fad, but i couldnt resist!
It's a nice small purse without making me look matronly (the chanel mini flap makes me look older than i am... lol). I'm petite (5'1") and this purse doesnt look that mini on my frame. I absolutely love it! my ipad mini fits in it! and my large wallet and sunnies!

 

[alessia70]

oh yes, of course my phone fits in it as well
albeit very snug, so i might consider a smaller wallet.
