I like it - but I agree it looks similar to a Purse my grandmother carried when I was younger I can still see it on the crook of her arm.
Idk if it’s “made” better than the PM but it does look more structured.
The edges of the front flap looks like they may turn up/curl up away from the bag - over time with use!?! The left hand side of the photo looks like the flap is not flat against the bag.
This is an old thread I know. But I would ask the Mini Dauphine ownes if they have problems with the edges of the front flap?

I have my mini Dauphine about 2-3 years, I have used it for diners and evenings maybe 20 times. The bag was sitting in the dustbag, stuffed like all of my bags.

But the edges of the front flap curle, they turn up and I don't wear my Mini Dauphine no more, because I hate that. I will bring it to a second hand store. I' m so disappointed about this bag!! It^s nearly new and looks so old..

The SA says "wear and tear" like every time :sad:

Is that just my bag or do you have the same problems with the edges of your Mini Dauphine?

I have Dauphine mm and Mini but both are leather versions and they look fine. 041E6EAE-401F-48D0-963C-2998C0ECB167.jpeg174FC623-32E8-4064-9A0E-963E69C2AB83.jpeg
Do you have pics showing the problem ?

Oh that’s bad! I read somewhere the Felicie with full flap might become like that too. Maybe it’s the canvas problem or the way owners open the flap.
If you still want to keep the bag, maybe try to press the side of flap to the opposite direction by putting some object on it while you are not using it.
Thank you adeline! I will bring it to the second hand shop. I'm so disappointed about this bag, so
