Chanel backpack or Chanel mini?

[woolymammoth]

Backpack or mini flap? I want both but can only afford one!

I'm not a backpack fan, and feel like a mini will have more longevity.

I would always get a mini. It's more versatile. I'm not a backpack person so even if I could get both, I wouldn't even know when I would use the backpack.

Impossible to answer without lifestyle and/or personal style context.

Mini for the reasons already mentioned above

I don't like backpacks either but as @tarheelap so wisely mentions we don't know your needs/lifestyle/ where you plan to use the bag , how much you want to carry, do you prefer hands free like a backpack or crossbody/shoulder carry like a mini ?

You should probably get the mini as you say you are not a backpack person. Even though I have both, I prefer wearing backpacks because I need my hands free (usually for photography). The smaller leather Chanel backpacks tend to be classy and will not look out of place at restaurants or at more formal events.

I feel like over the years the mini has gotten pretty saturated. The backpack such as Duma is such a great alternative!

Really depends where you live and life style . Both totally different bags at the end you might end up get both. But mini harder tO get specially in black so if u see it now , buy it .

Backpack vote! But I’m a backpack fan lol But I agree with others, two totally different bags and depends on what suits you more.

Not a backpack person myself but I know a few people whose style it definitely goes with, so I guess it depends on you! I feel these mini backpacks are a fashion phase and aren't here to stay, but that also means that if you really want one, now would be the time to get it. Meanwhile the mini flaps will always be timeless, but they'll probably be around for longer so you can buy one at a later date (though the price will most definitely have gone up!).

Backpack is a backpack.. and mini is a bag.. depends what kind of style u prefer…

I don't have room in my closet for a backpack, but I would like to add a mini. Mini bags are fun to accessorize an outfit, whereas a backpack is strictly for function and doesn't go with my usual outfit.

What are you looking to add to your collection?

I like my gabrielle backpack. Super cute and easy to style. I haven’t gotten a mini because they only come in lamb, which i’m too rough for it haha.

Mini for its versatility for day and night events or just running errands.
