It’s definitely more comfortable being fabric and wide. I like that it can be adjusted exactly to fit the length I want. Usually the leather strap cuts into my shoulder when I carry it for some time and it feels heavy after some time even though I didn’t put a lot of stuff in the bag.

I will do some mod shots later. I have speedyB 25, 30 and alma BB that might be useful for a gauge.

Scala Mini Pouch in Black.

For many months, I've been looking for a black bag with silver hardware from either Hermes, Chanel or LV. I wanted something on the classic spectrum and doesn't scream designer. I saw this bag for the first time in person yesterday and it looks much better in person than online. The leather is incredible quality, comes with a crossbody strap, has luxurious microfiber lining, is made in France and fits a lot more than you realise. I also see it as versatile as it can take you from day to night. I love how the logos are very subtle and I will admit that I have never been a fan of bags with perforations, but the perforated detail on this bag is quite fine that it doesn't bother me. The price is also an added bonus. Very happy with this purchase overall! :biggrin:

I am looking for a small black bag with silver hardware and am also considering Hermes, Chanel and the LV Scala. The Scala seems to fit more than a mini classic Chanel would and it’s also more discreet which is what I prefer. I wish I could get the Hermes Berlingot but no luck in the preloved market. But it’s okay, since it would be too short for crossbody anyway.
Are you happy with your choice? Do you love the scala?
Thank you

Oh my goodness! We have such similar tastes as I love the Hermes Berlingot too and look them up on eBay every now and then. I think the only chance of getting a Berlingot in a more desirable colour is by visiting Japan and buying it in store as I'm sure they would sell a few in the consignment stores.

Umm... I ended up returning the Scala Mini Pouch just in time for the 30-day return window as it just wasn't my style after all. I already have an Alma BB in Epi Noir and love that bag way much more, so I would recommend that or a Chanel mini rectangular with SHW (which most likely you will find in the preloved market as GHW and LGHW are in the boutiques). I think the Alma BB will fit slightly more than the Chanel mini though.

Funnily enough, I was still on the hunt to find something to replace the Scala Mini Pouch as I wanted one more bag that was not GHW and ended up getting a Chanel Mini Reissue in So Black. That could also be another option. :smile:

I wish Hermes would bring back the Berlingot as that would’ve been my first choice.

I went to LV yesterday and saw the LV scala again but this time decided it wasn’t high enough for me.

Congrats on the Chanel mini reissue in so black! That’s stunning! I forgot about the reissue. I love the rectangular mini with SHW also but the reissue and in so black is less discreet. I will definitely go with one of these. Thank you for your help:).

They didn't! It's raffia so I knew that it would be more likely to show wear. Initially I had reserved the raffia Capucines in black and cream. It's gorgeous. But I couldn't pull the trigger on such an expensive bag that I knew would show wear. Not that this bag was cheap, but it was far less.

How did it fare your lovely raffia bag? Any problems with it?
