I'm wondering if you can help me with understanding the size difference between the standard Dinky and the Dinky 24? Or what fits inside a 24? I've tried to find some photos here and in the clubhouse but am coming up short.

Would love to hear your reviews of this bag, what fits, how you use it, anything you care to share. Thank you!:smile1:

I owned the 24 briefly, and it was a tight fit, so I returned it. I only carry a mini skinny, smallish card case, and a checkbook, and those would fit....but to add keys and a phone that made it very tight.

I'd be curious as well, but will be able to chime in here in a day or two. I ordered the forest and its being delivered today. I looked at it in the store and took my wallet (Brighton Nolita Shimmer large wallet) and put it in there and felt it was much larger than I expected. I figure if I could fit my essentials into a mini Borough, I can work with this...or will at least try to.

I don't have the 24, but the reg size. I use the kisslock closure to put cards and cash in (instead of a wallet), a slim card case, gum, anti-bac, lipstick & little lotion, keys (not bulky), and my iPhone 6 goes inside the open pocket on the back. I wear my sunglasses or will set on table (if taking out to din or something like that) - might fit w/o a case, but I usually always put in case for fear of scratches. Since the 24 is a little bigger you could probably fit more. I haven't compared the sizes. The reg is perfect for me when I don't need to carry much. Which one are you looking at?

I have a 24 and I downsized to a very, very small thin square wallet, my reading glasses, my keys which are in a key case, compact, lipstick and put my phone in outside slip pocket.

I got the Dinky 24 over the regular Dinky because it fits my tablet 8"x5 1/4" (about the size of an ipad mini) which slides into the front slip pocket. The trick to a better fit is to make your items as modular as possible opting for small squarish slg rather than long ones in order to maneuver around the kisslock which bulks up the upper half of the bag right in the middle. This may mean a separate card/id holder or coin purse along with a small wallet rather than one wallet that fits everything. My cell phone isn't a smartphone so its small but thicker and can fit vertically. And that leaves just enough space to throw in my keys, lipstick/balm, maybe a small tube of sunscreen. Bits of paper will go inside kisslock or flat outer slip pocket in the back.

I currently am using the Coach double zip phone wallet because its short and holds more cards than the 1941 clutch in glove tanned leather I was using before but I may switch to an older small square wallet. I tend to switch bags a lot so I don't use the kisslock for anything important.

Would be very interested in seeing your bag when it arrives and hearing your thoughts on it. I also have a mini borough and I can make that bag work for certain situations. Wondering if keys and sunglasses (slim case) would be too much for the Dinky 24?

Hi,
It came, is very lovely color (vibrant like an emerald). IMO, it does fit more that the mini Borough, probably due to the lack of 3 separate compartments. I fit my full size Brighton wallet, a pack of tissues, keys, work pass, pen, nail clippers, lip balm & a small pill container. I could probably fit a few more small things because the leather is so forgiving. That said, it's on the debate table as I'm not a fan of the chain strap. Its beautiful but I found it uncomfortable. No final decision yet.

Thank you for letting me know. The chain strap can be a tricky thing. Some bags I have found to be very comfortable (RM MAC) while others are downright painful. The color sounds gorgeous.:smile1:
