I love them both. I like the fact the the deauville mini has leather on the bottom so it just seems a little more durable in that regard. But I am not a mini bag person. I wish the the deauville was just an inch or two wider! I love the pochette metis as well and I think it fits my frame better (I usually fluctuate between a size 12 and 16 and currently definitely on the larger end of that scale). I am just worried about staining! What are your thoughts? I appreciate the help and input!
