Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about purchasing my first mini Capucines bag. Most of my bags are in a neutral color (black, gray and beige/brown) so I was looking for something more fun. I was offered this earlier today - yay or nay? (Edit: typo)

It's gorgeous, but I'm not a fan of the color. Not a pink fan. However, if your wardrobe would work with this color, then it would be perfect. I just love this bag and think it would work with everything. Let us know if you buy it.

It’s pretty under that light, the strap is unique, I would keep the strap on the bag if to wear it. Could you wear the bag under day light to see how’s the color look like to make the decision?

Thank you everyone! I'll try it on again tomorrow 😊 I have it reserved. My SA said that it's a limited edition piece and only 13 of these are in France right now and just came out today.

Update:

So, I ended up not getting the mini even if I really liked it, simply because my phone would not fit in it 😭

I did end up getting this beauty though. I sized up 😊

The SHW and holographic logo is just 😍 and the white leather actually has an iridescent/opalescent sheen to it but hard to capture in photos. I didn't even notice that until the SA told me.

I got a twilly to protect the handle as well 😄 although it covers up the lovely hardware on the sides.

I'm beyond the moon happy with this bag ❤️ I think it fits my wardrobe more... I mean how can one go wrong with white, right?

I'm just super scared of getting it dirty so will be looking into ways on how to keep it pristine and pretty 😊

It’s beautiful - the only thing that I don’t like about my mini is that it won’t fit my phone. :facepalm:

Yeah, I really like the look of the mini, moreso than the BB, actually, but I've told myself that I won't buy another bag that's not "easy to use" because I won't ever reach for it. I have a few mini bags that I use just once a year if I'm lucky 😩

I'm glad I saw this one ❤️ the iridescence is fun and whimsical on an otherwise very elegant and classic bag. Makes it easier for me to wear.

It’s beautiful! I would remove the twilly though, it’s distracting and takes away from the elegance of the rest of the bag.

Ok thanks! Do you think a white twilly with pastel colors would look better? I want to protect the handle, unless I'm just being paranoid and it's actually easy to maintain white taurillon leather.

Totally understand! It’s not the color, it’s the thickness….it seems like too much material. And like you mentioned, it’s covering up the handle hardware. Is there anything smaller? Hermes has these mini twillies….not sure if LV does though.
