Hi,

Can someone please help me in deciding between Brillant size mini and MM. both in grained/soft calfskin leather.

I would really appreciate if someone can share (pics) of what fits inside mini. I am planning to use it as a daily bag, i carry: iPhone 7 plus, compact wallet, keys and a very small pouch for ear-buds and lipbalm.

For reference/ I am 5”1, slim to medium frame, middle aged. I want a bag that I can gracefully use in my 50s too, not just a trendy bag.


Thanks in advance :smile:

The mini will fit these items with no issues! For me though the MM size is more of a daily sized bag. At your height though it might be pretty large? I am 5’9” so small bags disappear on me. Can you go in an try the 2 sizes to see?

So here’ are a few shots of the difference, which is pretty significant. As you can see the mini looks very “mini” on me. ...I am 47 years old for reference, and I think they are both timeless.

Thank you so much for the pics, really appreciate it.
How much can you fit in mini? I think a soft leather would be more generous in space.
I had Alma bb in epi leather but sold it because of how rigid it was and lack of space (top 1/3 of the bag is almost useless), also I was concerned that it might a thing now (mini bags are so popular nowadays) but I might regret it in coming years.

I checked the sizes (online measurements) of Brillant MM and Lady Dior medium bag and they seem to be quite similar. However MM looks quite big than medium lady dior.
 
Any Brillant Mini owners regretting their purchase? Do you miss the extra space that MM would have?

I am just thinking that what if I need/miss extra space in future?

Here are a couple considerations: the Mini can be carried cross-body with ease, and it can easily transition from day to evening. As for extra space in the future, the bag size is what it is. You can’t build an extension:biggrin:
Good luck in making your decision!
