I picked up this 21k mini from Harrods in London last week. Lilac iridescent with gradient hardware. Sooo pretty and luckily I have an iPhone 12 which fits inside. Does it bug anyone else though that the handles on these minis are quite wrinkled? Particularly in the iridescent grained calfskin. Nearly every one Ive looked at is the same. Maybe I’m just fussy lol. I still love her though!

I just got my first extra mini cch this season too, and I am surprised how much I love it. The small is my favorite size, but my SA could only find the extra mini, so I said yes, but thought I might end up returning it. But luckily, I had switched over to the iPhone SE last year, and it easily fits in the extra mini cch.
a smaller phone is SO much better for me. At home I use my iPad, which is sync with my phone, so there is no worry about viewing things on a small screen. And when I am out, handling a smaller phone is just so much easier. And I definitely admit that my move to a smaller phone was in great part influenced by my love of mini bags.

And the added bonus is that the iPhone SE was less than half the price of the larger phones. So I was able to get a Chanel phone case for it, and the price came out to about the same for both the phone and the case as it would have for just the larger model phone.

I realize that some people need the upgraded features of the larger phones. But I would 100% recommend any mini bag lover to take a look at the smaller phones on the market.

Yesss, I might have to get the new iPhone 13 mini hahaha. I’ve gotten so used to a bigger phone but honestly can’t do bigger bags so I’ll just have to make my essentials smaller. Thanks for your input!

Well lucky you! So many I’ve seen have been wrinkly. Here’s just 3 examples from insta.

I am guessing the extra sharp turn of the smaller handle is making it hard not for leather to wrinkle badly. When mine arrived, wrinkled handles weren’t even on my radar, I was checking whether it stood straight or not. So many from last season had handles that tilted forward too much instead of sitting up straight.

Yes to be fair wonky handles would bug me a lot more!!

Wait isn’t that first pic my bag? LOL. OMG I didn’t even notice that it was wrinkly… :sad:
Oh I don’t know is it? Lol. My friend sent me the pics to show me that quite a few others have wrinkles too. Don’t worry about it - learn to love the wrinkles - it’s just part of their charm and the bags are still beautiful. I’ve seen a few with wonky flaps too which is worse IMO, so I’ll settle for wrinkles lol!

I think so…I posted my pic on the previous page. You’re right. I’ve seen some handles that are leaning back too, wrinkles on the handles aren’t that bad.

Ah ok my friend is a member on here so that would explain it. Just found your post with the photo of your bag. It’s stunning. Don’t let the wrinkles bother you. Enjoy your beauty and I’ll enjoy mine :) xx
