Boite Chapeau Souple MM

[amoorelv]

Good Morning!
My everyday work bag has been the Speedy B 25. I am looking at the Boite Souple MM. Visited the LV store to take a look at Boite Souple MM, but could not really tell the capacity of the bag. For Boite Souple MM owners, does the smaller cosmetic bag fit with room to spare other items? My everyday contents in my bag are: older Iphone 5, 4 ring key holder, cosmetics pouch, toiletry 15, card holder, business card holder, rewards card holder and coin pouch.
Thanx in advance!!!

I have this bag and purchased the small cosmetic pouch online. It took up too much space due to it’s wide base so I returned it. I will probably purchase the toiletry 15 at some point. Everything else you mentioned should fit easily with some room to spare. I have had this bag since it was released in 2018 and love it!

I don't think you're going to be able to comfortably fit everything you want in the Boite Chapeau Souple MM. It's a "pared-down essentials" bag for me - good for errands and travel but not an everyday workhorse bag (though it could be for someone who doesn't carry a lot). It fits a lot for a small bag, but it's still a small bag. I bought it for times when I don't want to lug around my larger totes (my workhorses are a Jersey and a Propriano, which are both about the same size as a Neverfull MM, for reference).

Thank you!! I appreciate your reply, really helps!!! I'm certain will sale the Speedy B 25. I am a minimalist and not into collecting bags but like to keep it to 5 bags in my collection at a time.
Also, I am finding that I am carrying less and less into the office. The majority of what I was carry in my daily bag could really stay at my desk, since I am not in a shared office space.

Thank you, I agree! From @viclou67 comment I will probably have to combine the contents of cosmetic pouch and toiletry 15, to just carry the 15.
I too was carry a tote Mezzo into work each day but I noticed it was too big. And the majority of my work from home items could easily fit in my laptop sleeve (mostly just documents).

i absolutely LOVE my boite chapeau souple mm! it's probably my favorite bag at the moment, and has been for while now (though i've been loving the bumbag lately).

however, it definitely holds a whole lot less than the speedy b 25. not a good work bag at all unless you're only needing smaller items.
i'd say it's more of a small bag; it definitely holds the essentials and a little more, but you're not going to be able to stuff it like you would a speedy..

for reference, i can comfortably fit my zippy coin purse, reverse mono cardholder, mini pochette, 6 key holder, phone, and (obligatorily) my boyfriend's multiple wallet with no issues. i could also throw in my sunglasses and maybe another super small item or two, but not much else (without requiring a ton of stacking and playing bag tetris).

it works as an everyday bag for me because i don't have too many bag essentials, but if you usually like to carry more than i do, i'd definitely say it's more of a casual outing bag.

edit: note- the opening is definitely more restrictive than the speedy b 25 if that's a concern. oftentimes i have to be careful getting in and out of the bag because the zipper has a tendency to scratch my hand/graze across my larger slgs. i haven't experienced any of my items actually getting scratched, but this is something to note!

Thank you, most of the replies have sold me on the boite chapeau souple mm!!! I am noticing that what I was carrying in my speedy, really could be left at my desk.
Thank you also for the reference sounds like pretty much what I carry on a daily basis (minus the obligatory Boyfriend wallets) living the single parent life and my daughter is quite the fashionista and would not be caught sharing bags with me
