Hooray for the Halzan...

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.

Hi Savana twin, what is the color of your halzan ? I don't own any swift bag, but I'm ready to try it. Don't you like this leather ? I know that H made mini in barenia also, but I want a colorful one, so it's not for me. I'd love to add a togo or clemence mini too :-))

Hi fellow Halzan experts, I have been offered a Halzan 31 in Benton or Etain in Clemence leather. I love the Benton better because there is no contrast stitching and color is quite unique . But concerned about color transfer . Which one would you choose ?

Hi Sue-Sue, I love beton, but would choose etain, because I often wear jeans, and would be afraid of the transfer too. I used to have problems with a GT Evie. These bags are carried close to the body, so it's a real concern, and I don't want to be anxious for a bag :-)). My two cents :flowers:

I love Beton, but would really worry about color transfer. I would get Etain. My Halzan is usually carried as a shoulder bag or crossbody. It's always touching my clothing. A Birkin or clutch would be better in Beton.

My Halzan is Alezan in clemence....such a versatile color! I like swift leather, but I would rather have a mini Halzan in a leather I wouldn't have to worry about. I toss my clemence one around, and it still looks as mew as the day I purchased it! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they make the mini Halzan in either clemence or Togo as well!

Alezan is a beautiful color, love it. I'd prefer togo or clemence too, but I've made a reservation for a little cutie in swift. I hope that in this small size swift will be ok. ;)

Sue-Sue, Beton is a very elegant color, very delicate, and feminine IMO, and I like etain, with the contrast stitching it reminds me of etoupe. Did you speak with your SA about the color transfer ? I know that our dear @lanit owns a beautiful beton roulis. Maybe she could tell you if it's easy to manage ?

Hi ladies, I’d like some help- I’m thinking of getting a halzan and can not decide between a mini or a large. Any thoughts? Also what’s the durability of the leathers. I’m not familiar with swift or clemence. I have only a Birkin in Togo and that is just so durable! Any feedback or concerns on colour transfer, I’m thinking I’d wear it mostly long off the shoulder. Thanks in advance

I have a 31 in Clemence, and had a mini in Swift. For me the 31 is very easy to use and versatile. No worries on Clemence, no wear at all so far. But the mini size is a bit more challenging for my needs. I love swift leather and the color was amazing (rose pourpre), but I really need a few more cms to accommodate all I carry. If possible, try both on ~ you will know which is better.

It's funny people are saying they wish the mini came in Clemence, because I wish the 31 came in Swift! Love, love the leather, takes on color so beautifully, and light, too.

Hi, I just bought the 31 in Etoupe on Saturday and I love it. They had the mini available also and I tried it on for sizing and I must say it’s a fun size but decided to go with the 31 for practicality. I’m sorry I don’t have any modeling pics of me in the mini. For reference, I am 5’6 and weigh 145lbs. Here’s some pics. I hope that helps. [emoji854]View attachment 3878773

I have both sizes and agree with you totally. The mini is really a minimalist weekend night out bag for me when I don't need much of anything. 31 is good day bag unless I have to carry a tablet. I was initially worried about Swift but my J with a Swift flap is holding up fine so I think the mini will do well too.
