Congrats!! It’s such a pretty lovely baby! Curious to know what changed your mind about the style as you mentioned you weren’t interested in mini handle before. I’m kind of in the same boat, still on the fence about the style and also have a 21B lilac lambskin flap which could be kind of similar to this. Thanks!

Thank you:heart:

To be honest, I’m not really sure. I always preferred the look of the classic mini rectangle, but this pink only came in this style for this season.

After seeing this bag today both in blue and pink, they just felt really structured and well made. I find with the classic minis there’s always some issue like a crooked base, crooked flap etc but this seemed to be perfect. (Although the quilts are flatter than the classic mini) Now I think maybe I should of added this style sooner!

I think the lilac from 21B might be similar but this pink definitely pops in real life. I have the 20A lilac and I thought may be it would be too similar to have both in my collection but they are definitely different enough for me.
 
Thank you :heart:

Although the caviar on the coco handle is shiny, the colour looked more dull in comparison to the mini with handle. Myself, my boyfriend and my SA all thought the mini handle looked nicer than the coco handle in blue.

I was very tempted to buy the blue too, but I felt like it was too similar to my 21B grey mini so I passed, but stunning bag none the less!
Oh wow, that’s so interesting how different the color picks up! I’m really torn between the pink mini top handle or the medium classic flap in the light blue..i reserved the light pink in the small cf so I’m wondering if i truly need it in the mini as well? :whut: i hope I’m able to seeboth in person together!
 
Anyone got this greenish blue mini square flap? I would love to see some photos that show the true color :smile:
I reserved the mini in green but the color seems a lot darker than your photo.

Maybe just get only one pink from this season lol you know how we fall head over heel next or next seasons pinks yet to come.
 
Thank you :heart:

I was originally undecided between this and the blue coco handle as I missed out on 21K. My SA decided to also hold the mini with handle in blue (definitely the nicer blue of the two bags) for me too, but as soon as I tried it on I was in love :loveeyes:

She is like a Sakura pink, so stunning and definitely different enough from 20A lilac.
How is it compared to the 20a lilac? More pink? I’m waiting on mine. It was hard for my SA to capture the true color.

Thanks! It’s wonderful to hear that quality won you over and you are totally right about how classic minis tend to have some issues and feel less structured. Now I need to do some real hard thinking :lol:
 
They are both beautiful bags! I have had the top handle mini for about a year and recently acquired the BA. I haven't had a chance to really use the BA but size wise, I think it will be more versatile. The mini is small and in my opinion, more feminine, whereas the BA is a little more casual. I don't think you can go wrong with either. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply!
its a tough choice indeed! I am worried about the delicate lambskin for the top handle especially as the light pink (ng750) is very light. Is colour transfer and the delicate lamb a problem for your top
handle mini?

Both are lovely bags. Both can be used for all occasions, but BA is more casual and top handle mini is more dressy. Business affinity is more carefree and versatile, while the top handle mini needs to be babied (light color lambskin) a lot more.

Between the two, I prefer the BA for its practicality and versatility, but it all comes down to what kind of bags you already have, how often you would use the bag, and what occasions you want it for. If you’re looking for something to wear every day, BA is the better choice as it’s more durable and casual but can go from day to night seamlessly. If you want a bag to wear occasionally to weddings and date nights, the top handle mini is a perfect bag! As it is lambskin, color transfer can occur very easily so it is recommended for wear with light colored clothes

good luck with your decision!

Thank you for your reply!
I am leaning towards BA too as I wanted something in that shade of pink and can use it more frequently. But I love how dreamy the top handle looks and the luxurious feeling that comes with the lambskin but I think taking care of it will give me a headache as I am often in jeans. Thanks so much for your opinions!
