I own all of these bag except for the Speedy nano (too small for even me LOL). Well, I did own the Gucci Soho but gave it to my sis when I got the Gucci Marmont camera bag (very similar shape and color). I well tell you truthfully that the two bags that get the most use are Chloe Small Faye (though you do have to be careful with the suede flap, I treated my suede) and the Chloe Mini Marcie Saddlebag (very hardy. durable bag). My Faye is in Cloudy Blue and the Saddlebag is in tan. I find these year-round colors so will use for all seasons. I have the LV Pochette NM in Damier Azur and it only gets used spring/summer due to the color. My Balenciaga Hip is in a bright purple and use it every season except for winter. The Hip bag fits about same as LV Pochette NM. These two (not counting Nano Speedy) fit the least. The Chloe Faye Small and Gucci Disco fit the most. The Faye fits a bit less then the Disco bag but has much better organization inside the bag. The Disco is simply an open bag with one large compartment and a couple small pockets on the inside of the bag. It also has a linen lining, The Faye has three interior compartments and one smaller pocket on the inside. It also has a nice suede lining on the inside of the bag. I also had problems with my Gucci Soho flipping over and spilling the contents everywhere and the zip was a bit of a hassle (have to hold the bag on one end while pulling the tassel to get it to zip). The Mini Marcie Saddlebag doesn't fit as much as the Small Faye but definitely more then the LV Pochette NM and Balenciaga Hip bag. The LV Nano Speedy while cute fits hardly anything...my phone won't even fit. I tried and it sticks out the top of the bag. If it can't fit my phone, it is in automatic no-go for me. Also, I believe LV Pochette NM is being discontinued so it might be hard to find now. The LV site says 'call for availability' which doesn't bode well for getting your hands on the bag (new at least).

Very thorough review :) i get all your points. This is really helpful. The sad part is after reviewing my mini collection. I think what i need is a small shoulder bag. As i got a few crossbody one. Even i love the faye, i think will try to find the lv first, and its true! I already ask a personal shopper to locate one for me in europe as i live in asia and no stocks at all. Thanks a lot. This really helps

The Chloes look too inconvenient to have as an everyday bag. I prefer a full size Speedy to the Nano anyday. So the Gucci Soho is definitely the one to go.

Convenience is dependent upon the person carrying the bag. I personally find either Chloe super convenient for the amount of stuff I carry (card case, six-ring key holder, lipstick, compact mirror). I would never normally carry a full size Speedy since my items would only fill a fraction of the space. For me, the Speedy would be the more inconvenient bag. I can find find my items quickly in either Chloe bag and they would just rattle around in a bigger bag like the Speedy 25/30. The poster specifically asked about mini bags so a full sized Speedy does not meet her criteria.
