Chanel Urban Spirit Backpack

In a dilemma - fell in love with the Chanel urban spirit backpack as I had to return my LV Palm Springs mini since it was defective within a week. Looking for a backpack and loved the mini size of the PSM, so I naturally gravitated towards the mini size of the urban spirit. Can it fit a good amount? I bought a small one off fashionphile but I want to hear what sizes you all prefer. I got to try them on hastily but didn’t have the time to see what can fit in it. Here’s some pics for reference.

I have the mini one, and it fits everything i need. Card holder or small wallet, cosmetic pouch, keys, phone, earphones, either a small umbrella or a bottle of water. Hope that helps.
I have had my Urban Spirit backpack for a few years now, it has held up wonderfully! I did get the large size and with everything I carry on a daily basis I have extra room. I think I could buy the small and it would have been fine. I plan to purchase another Chanel backpack in the future, that is how much I have liked mine. Good luck!
I got the medium size as it suited my frame (165cm). They're such amazing backpacks!
I highly recommend a bag insert - helps me to layer items inside rather than piling them on top of each other. Also protects the leather lining inside.

Is yours calf or lambskin? I just got a preloved one in lamb but I’m worried about wear.
How do you like the lamb and how long have you owned it? Just bought a prepared lamb one and its great,just debating how it’ll wear!
No corner wear...the top flap does crease as you carry it, nothing to be done as it is the style and construction. The only real wear is the hardware believe it or not. The hardware has almost a rainbow sheen to it when new was completely silver.
My work horse bag for sure. The hardware is really my biggest complaint, it has a rainbow like sheen to it now, when purchased it was completely silver.
It's calf. I expected it to be more durable than lamb (so I got the calf skin) however I was disappointed. I got a little scratch on it after 6 months (despite being very careful). I picked up my first lamb few weeks ago and it is better than the calf. It was puffier, firmer and I accidentally brushes it against a wall and it was fine.
I think calf/ lamb/ caviar depends on the season as caviar is known to be the most durable, however I've come across cracking and structural issues before too with it.
It really does! I got a preloved lambskin and it has minor edge wear however minor creasing. I saw new calf ones in store and there was already bad creasing. Overall I’m not sure which would wear better overtime, but I think it really does depend on the wash and season...
