I guess, this Minicity is super tiny. The price is about 130,000JPY in Japan which is about 1,500 USD or bit more I think.
My pleasure LiviaThey are not my bags, I have just found the pics by chance and posted here. I believe it is RH and the strap is adjustable. I ve not seen this style IRL
Oh, I thought you might have had a chance to see them. Anyway, just realised you posted the dimensions and it is a long strap. Interesting
Huh?! I just realised, it's smaller than the First
I thought it would at least be somewhere in between the First and the City. What an odd choice.
Oh and I just quoted myself, excuse me :shame:
Oh my heavens Tokyo, I think my small handbag heart just stopped! 
Thank you for this post! 
Look at their little baby Bal bunny ears! Gasp...

Finally saw CUMIN IRL, and I would have to say that .. Peanut Butter is an accurate description for the color. Definitely think it looks better with the Rose Gold HW; the bag that I saw didn't have the best leather (rather thin), so I passed on it.
However, the Cassis bags that I saw .. WOW!! All of them were beautiful with consistently thick & chewy leather. It looks especially nice with the Rose Gold HW. In the back of my mind, I kept on thinking to myself "this color looks familiar", yet I knew that it wasn't like the ones from the past. All of a sudden, it *hit* me, and 'lo and behold, I took out my Bordeaux Hamilton CP .. and sure enough .. AN EXACT MATCH!!!! Needless to say, that eliminates the color for me since I have the Bordeaux Hamilton Velo.
Rose Thulian continues to impress; a gorgeously saturated Pink with major Red undertones. I would definitely NOT place thsi color in the RED family; it's definitely in the PINK family. The leather on the Rose Thulian bags have been consistently thick & nicely distressed.
While I love the Mangue color, the bags that I've seen have been inconsistent in the leather. Don't know why Balenciaga seems to have such difficulty with yellows, but the leather always seems to be dry and/or thin. I ordered a Mangue mRGH PT, but I'm a little concerned because if the leather is thin and dry, it will be a NO GO for me.
Personally, I like the Gris Tarmac a lot .. reminds me a lot of Plomb, which was a true Grey. The leather on the Gris Tarmac bags has also been consistently great. Heard that Balenciaga will be continuing this color for the 2012 S/S season.

Thanks for this!!
But omg.. I'm so confused. I'm looking at the pics and my brain can't seem to register its dimensions! "isit a city... Is this a town.. Or maybe a velo" can't seem to merge it together into one bag
I think......I've been looking at WAY too many bal pics

Agree leamb, we really need a mod shot of this one. Also, it may just be the picture, but does the weight disperser shoulder pad thingy look like it is a little too large for the style.... not quite in proportion? One of my favorite things about the Mini Classique was the cute little shoulder pad thingy.
Must - see - mod - shot - soon!
I dont get it - I always thought of the first or towns as kinda "min-city"
CeeJay - thanks for the leather and color updates - the cassis really sounds yummy

Dear CeeJay,
Thanks for the decisions of the colors. Help out your confused, indecisive friend here. I have City Coqueliqot. Is is too much if I get a First in Rose Thulian? I may have asked you before. Do you prefer Rose Bruyere? I have posted a thread RT or RB and up to now RT wins. What is your opinion?
Thanks

Def Rose Thulian over Rose Bruyere IMO, then again, I have to say that RB is a "soft" color versus the RT. so, I guess it kinda depends on what you like & what would go with your wardrobe.
