Hey guys

I have two regular size bucket bags in camello rosa and black flamma.

I love them both but have always LOVED the oro the metallic gold lining and want it so bad even though i've never seen one in real life.

Do you think it's redundant to have two black buckets in different sizes? So a black oro mini and a black flamma reg? (or two of ANY bucket bags in the same colors in two sizes?). I'd LOVE the cammello with gold lining in a mini but can't find that at all. :sad:

I am 5ft 7 and the regular size is great but I also love small bags. Does anyone here have BOTH sizes in the black and do you find you use them both or one is the best way to go?

I don't think it is redundant at all. I think the mini would be far more useful for you when you are going out evenings or are running errands and don't need a ton of stuff with you. I have the large bucket and I love it but there are times when I don't need quite so much space. The black is very versatile and functional so my vote is for one of each if you can swing it.

Under normal circumstances, I would say no but these bags are really quite different when it comes to size and utility.

i don't think it is redundant either. but then again, i have the regular bucket in black/royal, the mini in black/ballerina and have pre-ordered the mini mini in black/flamma. there are times when you want a bigger bag or a smaller bag. for me, having multiple sizes lets me choose the bag that i need for the day. and i like that i was able to get different interior colors for the different sizes.

so, i say go for it & get the mini in black/oro!

I don't think it's redundant at all! I might be biased/a bag hoarder but I have the regular bucket in black/Marina, the mini bucket in black/flamma and I just preordered a mini mini bucket in black/oro and I think they can all serve totally different purposes based on their size and interior colors. The regular bucket holds a lot and I use it for work or when I have to carry a lot. The mini is great for shopping or going out, and I think the mini mini will be perfect as an evening/going out bag because it has the gold interior.

I also have a cammello/rosa regular bucket and a cammello/dolly large tote (tote is scheduled to arrive Monday!) and I wanted a second cammello bag because I love how the color has darkened slightly over time. I also like having the regular bucket in two very different colorways because the style is so spacious and light.

I don't think so. I have a Black/Flamma Large and a Black/Graffite Mini and just think of them as having different uses. For me, the mini is great in the summer months when I want a more simplified look – especially on the weekend.

Thanks everyone. Something tells me that I will end up using the mini more and may *gasp* keep that instead of the black flamma large?

I'll see. I'll maybe preorder the mini. I've seen it on people in real life and it looks like such a handy size versus the large which is great but very deep. Thanks for your thoughts everyone it's helped a lot.
