I just recently got a teen size Jodie (I also own the small) and it doesn't slip off the shoulder for me, but it is definitely not easy to get over my shoulder, especially if it's open and I'm in a rush out and about. I love the look of the teen size, I think it's a unique shape that's almost like a mini Santa sack lol but for me it's definitely an aesthetic vs a practical bag (although the capacity is very practical!). The small is just slightly less appealing for me visually, but in terms of practicality it ticks all the boxes. It's comfortable and easy to wear, very easy to throw over the shoulder when on the go. I can add some mod shots of both later if that's something people would be interested in. Hope that helps!
I received my mini Jodie in the mail and they included a gigantic green canvas tote. Like truly gigantic LOL 
I’ve not purchased BV before, is this a normal thing they include in packaging?
Also they only have a care booklet and the return label. There’s no authenticity card or anything in mail, is that normal for online purchases? I know people get a gold authenticity card in store, but do we get anything for authentication with online purchases?
The lighting is a bit warm here so may affect the color perception.
She’s so beautiful

I was told that some seasonal iterations are not under the certificate of craft. I think you should ask your local BV store about this particular piece.I received my mini Jodie in the mail and they included a gigantic green canvas tote. Like truly gigantic LOL

The gold card is not an auth card per se. Certain bag styles get the gold card as part of BV's new "aftercare" program. Not all bags qualify for that program unfortunately, which means not all bags get that card with purchase from the boutique.I received my mini Jodie in the mail and they included a gigantic green canvas tote.

Yes, sorry I misspoke, I know that only selected in-store purchases have that gold card for warranty. What I’m wondering is what BV cover for any online purchases, is it just two years?
Sorry this took so long!! Got busy with life things. As promised, here are a bunch of mod shots of both my small (black) and teen (caramel) size Jodies. I tried to show the overall size against my body (I'm 5'6", slim build) as well as show the bags on my shoulder while gaping open, as this is a common use case for me and also contributes to the teen being less comfortable for me to use. As you can hopefully see in the pics, the handle drop on the teen is quite small (especially when the bag is fully open), so it's not as easy to throw over my shoulder as I previously stated. The small is definitely larger to the eye but I find it more comfortable and easy to use. I've also had the small longer and it's softened up a lot, so that could also be a contributing factor. Hope this helps!!
It really is. It's my favorite size to use, but I think the teen may be my favorite to look at/style with outfits.
Went to the boutique today to try on the mini Jodie in Fondant. They also had a new „taupe“ color (I don’t know the correct name of this BV color) which I also really liked 
Are mini jodies different sizes depending on the season? I was looking at SSense vs BV webpage and the listed size varies at least on SSense depending on the color.
How accurate is the BV measurements? For whatever reason when I was in store to try it on it didn't feel as wide as 11"
• Height: 23 cm | 9.1"
• Width: 28 cm | 11"
• Depth: 8 cm | 3.1"
• Handle drop: 10 cm | 3.9"
