Oh its beautiful! That colorI am now very tempted!
The color is very pretty! I'm glad I went with it.
I got it in dark green-which is darker than it appears in this photo. Wish I'd gone to the midi size as it has no room for a wallet or a place for your phone. Pleased with the quality of the bag, though!Beautiful! I have the same one and love it...yours is the mini? Mine does fit a full size wallet amd my phone, which is the large size...yours does not?
I wondered about the midi size as well. The narrow top makes it a bit of a challenge to get in and out of. I think I will try a smaller sized wallet with this bag.

I couldn't get anything in mine-especially a wallet. I can zip my credit cards holder in the zippered pocket, a hair pick, Kleenex, lipstick and that's about the extent of it. I bought mine before they introduced the other size. It's an adorable bag, but too small to put anything inside of it.
Hmmmm, like @Kimbashop i think it sounds like the nano size? We both have the one that is larger than that, and it fits more...i love how the nano looks tho...super cute! But very limited internal space....
I owe the Mini Venice in taupe color and I love it ! The leather is really great, it is so well handcrafted and spacey enough for a day trip ! Had it with me during summer holidays and was so happy with it ! I am now eying on the Mini Rome which looks a little more classy with the golden handle ..... also I hope they will bring out the Nano Venice in suede leather, that would be my dream ; - )))
As there is not much info on this brand I decided to share my experience with them. I ordered the Vancouver in grey mock crock and unfortunately had to send it bag. While I absolutely love the design the quality is just not there. Piping was messed up right on the front of the bag and there was something like a micro scratch. Since it was on the front flap I just couldn't let it go.
The bag is somewhere around 470 euro with shipping. At first, I debated if I should exchange it or choose smooth leather over mock crock. I almost convinced myself that I probably am expecting too much from a bag at this price point.
But. Couple of days later I received another bag from a brand I never purchased from. It costs 215$ and everything about it exceeded my expectations! It's from Angela Roi (vegan leather - a first for me). They say on their website that their bags are made by skilled artisans in Korea and yes! I can really see it, it feels luxurious, not one stitch wrong, piping is perfect.
All of that to say that at 470€ the Demellier bag should have been of a much better quality. Even the interior didn't feel quite nice. The cotton lining they use feels...rough? Like dust and stuff would just stick to it. I'm not sure how to describe it but Furla's cotton lining comes to mind and it's soooo much nicer. Same price point!
Anyway, I still absolutely love their designs and really hope they'll get better. I am still thinking if I should give them another chance and get one on sale later this year...

Reviving this thread to ask if any one has the Vancouver bag! It reminds me of the Celine box bag, which if always wanted, but can’t afford right now...
I read @D.S. post about returning it, but did anyone buy and keep it? Super interested in seeing real life pictures.
I’m thinking to buy the burgundy smooth leather one.

The Vancouver looks really classy. I really like the look of it a lot and have thought about it. It didn't get a great review from someone on the thread, so you might want to check with that person to find out more details. I ordered a mini Venice and have been very pleased with it. the color and leather are gorgeous, as is the overall styling and quality. The edge paint is a little sloppy in places and could be neater. But overall I really love the bag and I hope they continue to make improvements. I currently have my eye on the nano Montreal....
I just received an email, Demellier is having a 15% off sale in case anyone is interested!
@l.ch.
I do not have the Vancouver, but I do have the Manhattan and the Oslo. The Manhattan is no longer made - it's like the Oxford but without the pocket. The Manhattan is a great, sturdy little travel crossbody, and it survived an unexpected torrential downpour (without an umbrella!) beautifully. I like the Oslo very much, but I will say that the mock croc, while light and sturdy, does not feel quite as luxurious as the Manhattan in grained leather. I also think the edges are a bit sloppy. However, the shape is lovely, and I wear this bag quite a bit.
If you're thinking of the Celine classic box bag, there is another under-the-radar brand called RSVP Paris that I recommend. I learned about them on this forum. I bought their navy box bag in box leather, and the leather is super luscious. They also have bigger sizes that may be more comparable to the Celine classic.
