Am I crazy for getting 2 black mini bags?? I couldn’t resist
View attachment 5745836
Not crazy at all, since different leathers and styles!

I'm eyeing that top handle one in white. Could you please share the inside pics of it? Does the lambskin feel durable? Looks like a shiny coated lambskin when I see in pictures, like the Chanel 19.

Also, if you wouldn't mind, could you share if a large size iPhone fits in with a mini pochette (assuming you have these)? This mini looks slightly narrower in depth compared to the classic top handle mini. TFS.

My order from 23S got delivered today!:yahoo: Loved the look on the runway so I asked my wonderful SA for this cutie without realizing how tiny she is. Fortunately for me, I have a Z flip phone so it fits and has 2 card slots so no card holder needed. Also, always wanted a mini O case in pretty color and it was a no brainer to bring rosy pink case home. Thanks for letting me share. :love:

Love both! And I have been loving mini bags the last few years, I don’t think I will ever go back to lugging around big bags. As long as I can fit my essential, that is all I need.
How is the drop of this bag? Is it a good length for crossbody?

Thank you very much! I know what you mean by not going back to big bags. Minis are just so functional without the bulk and I too carry only the essentials.
As for the drop length, I'm someone who likes to have her crossbody bit higher, between my natural waist and hip bone. This bag is a bit longer but not ridiculous long but then I'm only 5'3" (162 cm) in height so that could be it. :smile: Here's a photo so you could see. Please excuse my attire~ :biggrin:

I was actually torn between the white and black one but I can’t trust myself around white lambskin. I don’t have the big iPhone or mini pochette(sold mine :( ) but I have the reg iPhone 14 and it fits with plenty of space for keys and a wallet. The leather is definitely shiny but I think it compliments the gold so welll. Leather seems durable, unfortunately since it’s lambskin already scratched it :(
The burgundy is beautiful as well! Included pics from my SA

I love it! It hits at a great spot I would say. I am an inch taller than you, so this is very helpful, thanks!

Thank you, @Xoxobirkin! :hugs:Both the black and burgundy looks stunning especially with all that shiny GH. Hoping the white looks equally good, although I have seen all the other 5 colors on this forum/YT but yet to see the white!:annoyed:

Scratched already? Ouch! I desperately need a white bag and love really yellow shiny GH against it, like Chanel's old 24K gold, so this was the closest to it in modern times. TFS, wear her well! :heart:
 
Hello!
It is definitely bigger than a WOC. The Dimensions are 8 x 5 in the front area, and 7.7mx 4 in the back pouch. It’s slim but it stretches easily without overpacking the bag
The back area could fit 2 phones and a lip gloss…a cell phone, slim zipped card holder, lip gloss, and key..
The front fits a mini iPad, my inhaler, and keys and lip gloss..or a small slim zip pouch or wallet, inhaler, keys, lip balm. Or small glasses case, lip gloss, and keys..etc.
My phone is an Samsung S10e. it actually fits quite a bit! More than a mini bag!!
Here is the tag & examples of what fits.

I paid $5100 for it.

I was absolutely intrigued by your post I’m of this bag and texted my SA right away! By some miracle she had one- I went to see it yesterday and am obsessed. I may finally ditch my Goyard Plumet for this as my everyday bag- I don’t know why, but I like separate pockets, and the flatter envelope-style vs the more structured mini rec shape. Makes it more sleek.
This was definitely a take-my-money situation, PI be damned.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! You have impeccable taste!
