I just picked up 23K pearl crush square in muted blue(?) this morning and here’s my first impression.

The adjuster ball is heavier than I thought and the push CC button(?) thingy is sticking out a lot more than I thought. The chain is thinner than regular minis, compared to my rectangular mini. My iPhone 13 mini fits horizontally right up front of inside slit pocket so if your phone is bigger you might fit it diagonally or might not fit at all. The regular square mini strap is a tad bit short as a crossbody bag for me but this pearl crush square sits at the perfect place, right above my hip bone at longest length. Over all I love it and I think it is a great addition to my collection
Thanks so much for your response, and congrats on the new addition!

So does the ball being heavy and the CC sticking out bother you, or is it okay?

I have the normal size iPhone 13 so it’s larger than the mini but I’m going for the rectangular size so it should fit.

Glad you love the bag overall, I’m hoping to try it on soon!!!

It does not bother me. I only noticed it when I was up close to the nose inspecting it at home :lol: Best to try in person if possible Hope you find yours soon!!
 
Okay, and did it work trying to tuck the little dangly end into the bag? I saw this on YT

The ones that came out this year, I think they were called the camellia flaps?
Yes, it’s the camellia flap and I love that one! It’s one of my most worn bag.

The dangly excess could be tucked in if worn short or not worn x-body but the one I tried keeps escaping that I knew it would drive me nuts.

Yes the camellia was really nice, I was considering that too but then I got offered the classic mini in the same colour and couldn’t turn it down. I hope they release those camellias again soon in different colours.

Haha I did wonder if it might try to escape! I will tuck mine in when I try the bag on to see if it’s workable.

I picked this up today. 23k coco crush mini bag.

I’m on the fence whether I should keep it. I love the colors and style but concerned about the durability of the material, especially the white detailing. It looks like it’s made of a rubbery white out material. And it is a bit undone on top of the CC.

Any advice on durability of tweed? I do baby my bags and don’t plan to wear it out when it’s raining or to crowded places where the fabric could get snagged easily.

Also interested to hear people’s thoughts on this style vs the classic mini. I’m 5’2 (157cm) tall so the classicmini strap length is much too long for me.
