Dear all bucket owners, I need your advice! I have a mini bucket in black/argento and a cammello crossbody. I'm getting another mini bucket in cammello/azzurro later this year (pre-ordered). Now I'm thinking of the regular bucket either in cammello or black or blu canvas. Do you guys think it'd be a bit of cammello overkill if i got another cammello bucket?? I also love the blu canvas because of its interior pocket. Black seems a bit too "normal" as all my other bags are mostly in black and grey tone.. I wear a lot of neutrals like black, white, light/dark grey, navy blue...and I'm 5'3 (162cm), average frame, I'm a bit worried if the regular size might be too large? (I don't wear heels at all). Anyways, thx for reading my #FWP :) Here's me and my beloved mini bucket! ImageUploadedByPurseForum1440117716.690427.jpg

I think a Camello bucket would be great! I love the photo!

I'm not a canvas type of person. I love leather:)

The large bucket is rather large, but if you tie the strap in a knot it's not that long. I'm almost 5'6 and it is good ,but definitely sticks out since it's not smushy.
I'm a Balenciaga person who is used to a bag laying flat, but this is really an amazing bag. And with the Camello you get to break it in and watch it change colors:)
Hope that helps:)

I am 5'2 and I like the regular size more than mini, even when I am wearing flats (as I am today). You look about the same frame as I do. If you're worried about it looking too large, plus the fact that you have other cammello bags already, perhaps you can consider regular bucket in Blu. Darker colours will make the bag appear smaller, maybe?

I used to carry mostly black bags too, but in recent years I've sworn off black bags to pursue more fun colours. However, I don't find my black/flamma bucket "normal" at all, having a bright interior colour makes a huge difference to how I feel towards black bags!

I don't think another cammello is overkill at all! The cammello is beautiful and also somewhat unique to MG, I would pick that over black as it's easy to find other nice black bags.

I am a similar size to you and I have a regular bucket, personally I just choose bags based on how much I need to carry, I don't really care so much how the size looks on my body.

The canvas is nice, but I can't bring myself to spend that much on a canvas bag. Would rather have full leather.

I'm a former Bbag addict! I have enjoyed your cammello mod shots and it does look amazing on you :)

I agree that the interior colors do make the difference.. I kinda like black/ballerina but just couldn't think of making the pink work for me!

Yeah I agree that the canvas price is quite a lot for what it is, when you could spend a bit more to get the leather version! It's just the interior pockets that I think would be so useful.. But yeah, I so love the cammello!

Thank you:)

On the other hand, a black with a great interior color might be fun. I'd actually like a black mini one with ballerina or the turquoise color interior .
I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with these bags:)

You could wait and get the Brandy. That's what I'm expecting in October from BG.

I have the same thought as hers :) We are on the same height and body proportion so any bag would look good on you.
