Yes, the chain version is smaller....mostly in width and depth although the height difference is not as noticeable. Also the length of the chain is not adjustable.

Question: Has anyone successfully had their Pandora strap shortened?
I love both my medium and small, but the straps are too long. I'm not a crossbody bag fan, and I don't like bags dangling by my hip either! The small I'm fine with, I just tied a knot on the strap and now it's perfect. With the medium, I mostly use the handle for shoulder carry. After a while of carrying it that way though, it starts to really hurt my shoulder due to the handle being rolled (I prefer flat straps/handles). I can't tie a knot on the medium strap since it's too short for that, so I'm looking into having it shortened instead.
If you've had your Pandora strap shortened, could you tell me how you went about doing it? Is a local leather alteration place a good idea? Preferably I'd like to have it done without needing to ship it somewhere.

Thank you!
Sounds like a leather specialist/alteration place might be my best shot. I bought the bag over two years ago from HG Bags, so I won't have the backing of an official retailer like the lady in that thread. It's such a simple alteration though, so I'm not worried about the outcome. If anyone else are interested in doing the same, I can follow up on this post with pricing etc once I've done it!
Hey ladies, I am looking to buy a pandora bag. However, undecided on Pepe leather or the smooth leather options. leaning towards Pepe leather as I love the distressed leather look -however also thinking if this is still in trend? Showed it to a few friends and all of them asked me why the bag looks so crumbled. Lol.
Also, anyone knows what are the colors for spring/summer 2018? Thanks!

I have a medium Pandora in black Pepe leather. I love it because of the distressed look. I don’t have to baby it as much as I would with other leathers. It’s very unique and edgy. I love mine!!!
Actually I agree. I have the medium pepe and the small goat. The Pandora is really special in the pepe leather.
But I read people saying that the goat is sturdier. In a few years, I'll know which one survives.
Anyway, another tip - for black Pepe Pandora, it will develop fading on the corners, I touch them up with Angelus acrylic paint and voila -- good as new!!!The pepe Pandora looks really really cool.

From my experience, the goat gets water stained (rain) very easily. I never take it out if there’s a chance of rain now. I just feel that the crinkled leather of the Pepe is a little more forgiving of wear and raindrops. Harder to see any little “oops”. (For the record, I treat all of my bags very well but sometimes accidents happen!)
Thank you!!! I have not used my small goat actually, it's just sitting there in my closet. I always seem to gravitate towards the Pepe.
I have a mini, small pandora and a woc all in goat that get regular use. The only indication of use is the leather softening. A
