Hello, I am currently debating whether to add the brown 21p cocohandle in small (previously mini) or the medium - pls could you let me know what would get more use or is more user friendly?
those who have both sizes what do you reach for more? I currently have medium CF and a mini. Thank you

I don’t have the new medium but have a few of the new small (previously called mini coco handle). I like the new small size. It holds two of my iPhones (one of them is a 12 pro max), a zippy wallet, key pouch and a small pouch for hand sanitizer , mask, and lipstick. And sunglasses :smile:

I will say that it’s a bit tough to add anything beyond that because the divider in the middle of the bag makes it hard to stuff things.

overall it’s a good size and I highly recommend it- seeing as I have 3 of them already BUT it does not crossbody comfortably so it’s more of a shoulder or top handle bag. Hoping to add a medium coco handle next!

I don't think you could go wrong with either size! I have coco handles in the 3 smallest sizes and I definitely reach for my medium and small (aka regular mini) the most. If I were to choose one between the two I would probably say the small/regular mini since it holds all the essentials including a phone and can transition easily between day to night. The top handle also makes it much more convenient than my mini rectangle.
I've posted some comparison photos below. For reference, I'm 5'7 and US size 8, neither work as a crossbody on me but for someone more petite they probably would! I hope this helps :flowers:

I gather you own a new mini, old mini/small, and a medium but I'm not sure which is which in the pictures. Blue on your arm is the medium, red on shoulder and in hand is the new mini, and the black on shoulder is the old mini/small? We're about the same size so I'm particularly interested in your mod pictures and want to make sure I've got it right! Also, do you find the new mini too small for every day?

Sorry I realize the order of my photos is confusing, but it's 2 photos of the red small and 2 photos of the navy medium.
Here's a better photo for size comparison, the black and turquoise are the new mini, red is the small (old mini), and navy is medium. The new mini is too small for everyday in my opinion but the old mini/new small is a great size! I just wish the strap was long enough for crossbody.

do you think medium size would be fine crossbody? i was initially after the new mini because of longer strap however it is too small for my frame. now i'm wondering if medium is better or should i go for a new small.

Noo definitely not, the strap is too short. But the strap is also removable so if you like that size best you could always just buy a separate strap from elsewhere to use with it when you need to wear it crossbody.

Thank you for the clarification! You've got a beautiful collection. It's too bad that the old mini doesn't have a long enough strap for crossbody. That might be a deal breaker. I'll have to try it on in person to see.
