Anyone who is still waiting for one and interested in different opinions. Mine arrived and it wasn't right for me.

This Mini Backpack I would liken to whatever you can fit in an Alma BB, that's what you will fit in the Palm Springs Mini Backpack.

I was so sad to part with it because I LOVE the look of it, but I knew I'd never actually get use out of it. Love seeing all of your posts though, it is still SUCH a beautiful bag and huge congrats to all of you who have got one after the long wait!!! xxx

Thanks for your thoughts.. it was though you were reading my mind!
LV rang left me a message yesterday that one was saved for me. Have been in two minds last night as I have just bought a Chanel mini flap last month. I do own a Alma & Marly bb and the size is good for me. But do I need another mini bag is the question!
The con is the price as I could get a slightly bigger bag like the Siena pm or even the Empreinte leather St Germain bb for roughly the same.

I LOVE this quote and will be borrowing it too, if you don't mind, fabuleux!

It's what I am CHANTING right now because I really (x100) want this backpack but:
a. I am sure it will be too small for me (I carry too much junk, I mean stuff)
b. (and more importantly) I have NO money!!! :cry:

Oh dear Lord, what is wrong with me!! Why is it all never enough! :p

I just received this bag in the mail. Not sure if I want to keep it! It's pricey for what you get. Not sure if i should keep it... so torn!

I totally agree. For the size and price you could get something much bigger and fits more things. In the plus size, it is very unique and limited and absolutely cute and gorgeous! I guess if the style and size fits your needs and lifestyle then keep it. Else return it and get something more practical that you will get more use out of. Good luck deciding!

Where I live, it came out to $1782.00 after tax... I'm still gawking at my bank account in disbelief O_O. When I was first put on the waitlist (mid February 2016) it was around $1590?... I'm kind of annoyed because the associate at the store told me that if that's the price you were quoted, that's the price that you would be charged... NOT. I was charged for the new, higher price, and it just makes me resent the purchase altogether. I'm thinking of just exchanging it for something else. It is not the most practical bag, and at that price I would need the bag to do a little more for me. It would only make sense for me to use on the weekends.

I know what you mean, you can get a lot more bang for your buck purchasing the Siena or the St Germain for not much more $$. I guess the 'mini bag' is so popular right now in lots of brands. It just wasn't worth it for me, but I still think it's absolutely adorable! ;) xx

I agree with you- if it does not fit your lifestyle, no sense in keeping an expensive item like the mini BP. I am sure it will go to a great new home.

It is really a small bag to carry just essentials- small wallet, keys, phone and a few cosmetics. Bigger than a WOC but it is still the same concept. Likening it to an alma bb is spot on.

I agree with you, it's a very similar concept to a WOC. I still love seeing posts on IG about this beauty because I do think it is sooo adorable.

You're right, no sense in keeping when it won't be used. It's very expensive for what you get. I guess it's just whether it's worth it to the individual. If you're going to use it all the time and you genuinely don't carry a lot, that's the person it's perfect for :-)

Ahhh I love them both!

FYI anyone in London - apparently the stores aren't adding anyone else to the waiting list, but if you phone the number on the website, they are. Wait time is approx. 8 weeks.
In saying that, the same day I joined the online waitlist (last Friday) the bag was made available online and mine is in the post now. So I think they're still pretty available if you're willing to refresh the website like a maniac etc. :D

Mine has just been delivered this minute. Just opened the box now and it is certainly the cutest bag. I was in two minds before but I'm definitely keeping her now.
I am in uk and ordered mine by calling the LV client service, waited about 7weeks. I usually order online nowadays as I find the store near me pretty useless when it comes to 'hot' items. They never have what I want in stock.
