Min & Mon Handbags

Hi all,

I haven't seen much regarding this brand on the forums, so I figured I'd give the brand a little love.

I picked this guy up during their Black Friday sale after months of eyeing it. It's so fun! I love the unique shape and the rainbow colored zipper. This style, the Vali, can be worn crossbody or carried by the top handles (white tabs pull up to a reasonable length, although too short for crook of arm). Leather quality is nice, too.

I'd love to hear if anyone else has purchased from this brand before!

I chanced upon this brand about 5 or 6 years ago at a pop up they did in Chelsea (NYC) and bought a few SLGs and small trinkets (esp their colorful handholding octopus keychains). I got rid of most of my SLGs recently and sadly lost the one keychain I didn't gift away (a one-off gold Octotwins), but the leather held up well, was pretty good quality for the price, and the design was funky and super interesting (although I could see the eyes motif they use creeping some people out).

I esp liked that their Vali bag (which I see you got) had a lot of interesting color combos and could be worn as a clutch and crossbody; unfortunately, it was a little too small for my needs and was the only style they offered at the time. I'm glad to see they've lasted and have significantly expanded their styles!

Hope you are enjoying your bag!

I'm glad to hear the leather held up well for you! I love the funky designs, especially the eye motif. Big fan of pop art.

I was gifted a wallet for Christmas, and so far I'm impressed with the quality. Of course it's only been a week, so I'll have to report back on the wear & tear. I just love that it's a sunny yellow!

Whenever we're able to safely travel again, I'd love to swing by the NYC SoHo storefront.

I know this is a bit of an old thread, but joining in on giving this brand some love!

I have three bags from them (in Vali, Victor, and Verto styles) and several of the fancier/special straps. The Verto that I have is one that I got secondhand and looks to be from a much older collection (from before they did removable/customizable straps for this style). I will admit the leather for this one feels a lot more luxe than the other newer bags I have from them, but the quality for the newer bags is still pretty good! Customer service is also excellent for online orders.

The Victor medium messenger bag (plus one of the linked straps) is actually one that I've used as my daily bag over the past year or so (all my plain bags are old and out of commission haha), even with the bright colors and fun print. It's held up really well, doesn't need additional waterproofing, and has survived a curious cat without damage. Also holds all the stuff that I need on a regular basis pretty well.

There are actually two main pockets on the bag, with the front flap being reversible (you can just flip it over to the other side to use the reverse print, with is black with a pair of eyes.)

I love that strap! So color and different from anything I've seen. The print on the bag is fun, too.
