I feel exactly the same way about the Halzan, FrenchSandra, and coincidentally, I'm wearing the same shawl with mine today! I would love to add a Halzan mini, but I'm just waiting to see if they start making the mini in a leather other than swift.
I really didn't want swift, but it's growing on me. I just had to get it when I found it in-store in black w/ matching stitching. It's a dressier bag in swift, so I often use it instead of my Chanel flap for dressier occasions. I do want to add a more casual mini if they ever make an orange mini in Clemence or Togo.
