Need some help deciding whether to keep the tumbled leather reg bucket bag... I love the quality of the leather but am a little indecisive about how slouchy it is..

Mini mini black/ballerina bucket with matching black Birks. I have worn both items every day since March.
Can you give me an idea of how much it'll hold? I'm torn between this one and the mini

When I first saw the mini mini I thought it was going to be too small, but it actually holds a decent amount of stuff. However it doesn't fit anything tall, so if you use a long wallet it probably won't fit. I've used a makeup pouch as a wallet so that I can smoosh it in the bag and it's been a good workaround. I carry a makeup pouch, iPhone, small snacks like granola and lara bars, cell phone charger, several lipsticks, Judith Leiber pill box, and travel size lotion - and I still have a little room to spare.
So I would say the bag is roomier than it looks, but it's short so you can't fit anything taller than a long wallet if you want to be able to cinch the ties closed.
If you tell me what kind of essentials you want the bag to hold, I can tell you if it will fit or not.
Love this photo!
Thank you so much! I carry pretty much the same things as you. I have an iPhone 6, if I put it in standing up, can I cinch the bag?
i absolutely love it + think it looks great!
love the slouchy-ness + i don't think it's too slouchy at all![]()
Then I thinks it's perfect! The only thing that bugs me about slouchy bags are the saggy bottoms. Yours seem luxuriously comfy![]()
I think it looks great on you. If you don't like the slouch though, the veg tanned might be better?

Yes, the iPhone 6 fits in any way you lay it--vertically and horizontally so you should have no problems cinching the bag closed. Good luck tomorrow!
hi obcessd,
i've been reading conflicting reports if the mini bucket fits a long wallet. my usual long wallet and travel wallet are both about 7.7" tall. is this a no-go for the mini bucket?
i usually move around quite light - just wallet, cell phone (iphone6), car keys, some cards & hair pins (is there a pocket for cards inside the bags?), tissue, 1 lippie, 1 scarf/light cardi and 1 small bottle of water (6.2" tall).
i am about 5ft 4".
