PalmSpringMini_2.jpg PalmSpringMini_4.jpg PalmSpringMini_3.jpg Just got my Palm Springs Mini today and I love it! Made in Italy and it's immaculate. However I am concerned about the Zipper pull. This metal piece that I'm pointing to looks so thin and I'm so scared that if I pull too hard the zipper will break. Have any of you had this issue recently? I know someone had mentioned this before in this forum.

Found the mini Palm Springs bag in Macau!

The first store I went to don’t have stock and said I won’t be able to find one in Macau.

Requested her to call n check other stores and was rejected to say it’s possible to find the mono. They had 1 reverse but was sold few days ago.

Don’t want to give up n don’t trust the SA... I went to another nearby store... turns out... They have 2 mono 1 reverse!!!!

Wanted the mono one but the condition of the 2 are not great. End up I got the reverse.
Hubby voted reverse over the phone. Now I’m just worried of colour transfer!!

Here’s some pics to share:

Yay to reverse or mono! Looks great. The reverse is more limited and much harder to find if you ask me. If you wanted something unique and hard to find then go for the reverse. I have the mono and would love to find the reverse and buy it too, but in my country it’s sold out and discontinued. It’s already taken off the website for a few months now, and my regular SA said it’s gone. There is a wait list but none have arrived, and she said it’s gone and none have arrived. The mono is still being made, however there is a wait list for that. If you can get the reverse and you like it, I reckon you should keep it. Your hubby has great taste. I don’t think colour transfer will be a big deal, as the back is monogram right? I use mine with jeans and no problems. Very easy to use and don’t need to baby it. In the whole time it has been released, I have never seen a reverse mini backpack. I have seen a few mono in the shops, but never reverse. Hope that helps. Good luck with your decision!

Congrats.
I own both mono and reverse, I use the reverse more often but the mono gets a lot compliments. The reverse also has a smooth zipper compared to 3 monos I've tried.
With reverse canvas I wipe the back every now and again, colour transfer is hard to see (I only see it on the wipe) but it could build up and start showing over time.

Hi everyone! Don't know if this is the right place to post... but I was wondering if anyone had any intel on a Palm Springs PM in reverse (with the lighter leather on the front pocket)? I had a chance to see this beauty in person in October and didn't buy it thinking I'd be able to find it later... such a mistake! Now I'm regretting not getting it when I had the chance :( please let me know if you have any info!

I’m curious too if anyone has had any issues with the zipper pull. I just got mine and first thing I did look at was that thin metal piece of the zipper and wondered if it’ll hold up after pulling on it multiple times a day..

Realised there was a typo. The first SA said impossible to find a mono mini palm springs! It was OOS for 6 months.

They are just lazy to check!
