Alright folks, saw the iridescent beiges in person today.

On the shelf:

In the hand. There are strong pink tones to the beige under bright boutique lighting

Next to the medium. The differences in construction are very obvious here, and in person. The medium has classic, well formed quilts and edges. The mini has flatter quilts, softer edging, and the grommets sink deeper into the top of the bag noticeably.

This mini’s flap was also not fully straight, which was even more obvious when worn.

My SA also had a firm, lambskin pink mini which I compared it against.

I passed on this mini today. My SA is being kind enough to let me inspect the next one that comes in.

Overall, I regret not being on the list for the medium for this bag.

Yes, medium in iridescent is much better quality for 21S. Did you see the iridescent white or gold metallic with black hardware?
Thank you for pictures.

Thank you for these pics. I was second guessing my decision to choose the medium over the mini and I'm now very glad I picked the medium. At least this round, I think the extra money is worth it.
 
Thank you! Yes, my dogs are my life!
Sighh yea, her store always have a 15 minute window to ring it up or else it will pass on to the next person on the list.
I would never make that window since I can’t keep my phone on my body at work so I can only answer calls when I get back to my office. That policy isn’t fair esp if she knows you want it. She should wait at least a few hours before offering it to someone else.

Thank you for pictures.

Unfortunately not, they had an iridescent white mini but it had been picked up by the buyer already. I didn’t think to ask to see the gold

Agreed - had the medium not been claimed I would have bought it immediately.
 
Just picked up my gold mini cav w/ handle and I have to say, I’m a bit...shocked at how dark the gold is :/ Especially compared to the pics online. Definitely pulls more of a fall, Metiers gold than a spring/summer gold IMO. Gonna take a few days to think on it, as it does have a lot of pluses—but right now, I’m not sure she’s a keeper :( Maybe I’ll do a poll on IG like I did with the silver one, haha. Anyway, thoughts? TIA!
