Here's some pictures of the two bags side by side. Both in smooth black leather. When looking at the pictures, Mini on the right and the Shoulder on the left. Of course they are very similar, but I like the proportions of the Mini better for some reason. On another note... I bought the Mini in the US and the larger Shoulder in Monte-Carlo, Monaco while on vacation. The Shoulder is larger and was a lot cheaper than the Mini buying it in Monte-Carlo by about $915, factoring in the VAT refund !!! What ?!?! Insane, the price difference !!!

$915?????? :rockettes:, unbelievable haha, you are very lucky!!
I know, it's crazy. You can get a larger size cheaper in Europe than a smaller one here in the US=Madness ! My advice, buy in Europe if possible !!!Here's some pictures of the two bags side by side.

I've bought a tri-colour mini and waiting for it's arrival~~ it's been bought from Germany for about 1700euro~~~ but the only problem for me is I only can get a personal shopper for buying things in EU and need to be a trusted shopper, of course get authentication for the bags.

Exactly ! I saw a black Mini in Florence, Italy for 1600 Euro(didn't buy it because like an idiot I forgot my passport copy that day) Ended up buying the shoulder luggage in Monte-Carlo for 1700 Euro(about $1975 US) plus I get my VAT refund. US price for Mini bought this weekend $2400 + tax = $2610

Well, then US price is not the worst but AUSSIE price does :nospam:, AUD $1.00= USD $0.95 today, I think it costs over $2800AUD here, ridiculous!!!!!!
Wow, that's even more insane ! We keep on buying them though, lol. I wonder what the Canadian price is. Any Canadian ladies or gents have any info to share ?Well, then US price is not the worst but AUSSIE price does :nospam:, AUD $1.00= USD $0.95 today, I think it costs over $2800AUD here, ridiculous!!!!!!
Here are few modeling pics of the Mini and Shoulder both in black smooth leather. First two pics are of the Mini(handle shoulder drop not sufficient to fit over shoulder). Last three pics are of the shoulder luggage. I'm 5'4" for reference.

Hmm, good question. I haven't really used it because I don't like it that much(I like the mini better). I'll have to put some stuff in it and use it, then get back to you on that. I picked up one of the bags in the Celine store, it was a medium size(had never seen it before) in drummed leather with silver hardware. It was extremely heavy. I could barely hold it and that was without anything in the bag... Anyway, I'll get back to you on thatHow's the Shoulder weight on the shoulder when loaded? Is it a heavy bag in general? They both look good on!
