I agree 100%! I carried Deauville mini for 2 months straight which is so unusual for me. Love the front pocket for phone and I added a chain top handle so it became my perfect little crossbody yet it holds so much...
I love mine as well! I’ve thought about adding a top handle. Which one did you buy? Would you share a picture please. Thank you!

Here you go. Leather handle from Mcraftleather, chain handle from Mautto Accessories. As you can tell I’ve been using the leather handle for a while so the color got darker and matching the Deauville:amuse: oh I put them all in the back of the bag so it won’t scratch the luggage tag at the front...D5AB9D99-BBCC-44FD-94EF-9B771B4703CD.jpeg1ECC1BC3-4CEA-4D4C-B781-AF1368C0FEA5.jpeg

I have a few vintage Epi Trocaderos that are light and comfortable and can fit a decent amount in the 27 size. I cut the straps off and use either the LVbandouliere or guitar straps from Etsy.
I also have a vintage Epi Petite Noe that I use crossbody and like for a bigger size bag. Siena PM is a great size and lays nicely crossbody.

The Trocadero 27 is as small as I can go with any bag. I love her because I don't have to take her off when driving. The Petit Noe (one of my all-time favorite Louis Vuitton bags) is always a favorite crossbody bag, very spacious for a medium-sized bag. Lastly, the Saumur 30 and 35 depending on how much I have to carry. I usually take the 35 if I'm going to the gym after work. Oh, I forgot my Proenza Schouler PS11, I love her so much. I wore her this morning to run to the shops at 7am. She is absolutely the most perfect crossbody bag, easy to access, large enough for my essentials and such subtle luxury and I must buy another one soon.

I wish the Deauville Mini came in Epi! It was in the runway show for last winter in Epi Bordeaux, but it did not make it into production :sad:
I’m now thinking about getting it in DA for the summer.
I know! I was waiting for that Epi Bordeaux to be released... hope they come out with Epi with gold tone hardware.

I saw it yesterday and it’s lovely in DA. I’m even more tempted. :). My SA said that it’s not treated vachetta but pre tanned so is less susceptible to new vachetta woes.

I've never had as many compliments on my bags as I have with my DA pochette double zip with Rose Clair bandouliere combo. This hybrid has finally settled my buying frenzy. Doesn't fit as much as other bags mentioned here but more than a PA. I can also use it with its chain for an evening out.
