Anyone seen the so black and patent mini top handle? Excited for the release 😍😍
I have both and I use the ones with the top handle more than the regular ones. The top handle version is just way easier to use, because of the handle. I probably will not get a regular version anymore (barring any special color that is TDF) and will just get the ones with top handles moving forward.
@parisa20 I do, I love both the same but they do work for me differently. Personally, the top handle is a little more versatile, as I feel I can wear it casually during the day and it goes easily with dressy outfits for a night out 😉. I also feel if you have a top handle in a light color, it’s easier to handle and avoid color transfer. As per my rectangular mini, I wear it as my worry-free crossbody, usually when I run errands, appointments etc. I don’t wear it ever at night as I usually take my small CF instead. Keep in mind I am comparing my top handle, and my rectangular mini both in black, as well as my small CF in black. HTH
This is super helpful! Thanks!! I was going to use it as a dressy going out bag and I thought the mini rectangle in black would serve that purpose as it almost looks like a mini CF, which is why I was leaning more towards that one. They are both so cute but I think because I’ve always had bags without handles and use them crossbody or over the shoulder all the time, the handle seems a little out of place for me. But the color transfer comment is also great if I end up wanting to get a beige bag next, I would definitely go for the top handle instead of rectangle!
I am glad to help
. I do have classic flaps in light color because I loveeeee them, but I feel the top handle helps a lot with me being a little less worry 😉 specially when they are light color and lambskin. At the moment, I only have one top handle lambskin in pink and the top handle and crossbody option had worked for me 😅Enjoy your beautiful bag!One more quick question. Do you think the top handle and rectangle are too similar to have both in black with ghw? I’ve only had black bags in the past but the look seems the same to me with the exception of the handle.I am glad to help
@parisa20 TBH, I don’t find them similar, and if you want an extra opinion, my husband doesn’t think so either 😉. I have both in black caviar with GHW, the top handle is AGHW and the rectangular is LGHW. They don’t look the same and you would probably wear them differently enough
. There is nothing wrong to have black bags as long as they work for you, your wardrobe, your lifestyle and your life! I once had all black bags, until I got brave enough and started enjoying my bags without panicking and worrying too much about them. DM me if you need anything else since this is a mini TOP handle thread only 😉😊 adding them together and my pink one so you can see them Attachments
