Mini loop or Mini pouch?

[lilimcn]

Hi everyone!
I don’t own any BV bags yet and looking to get one, but can’t decide which, would appreciate your input and opinion!
- Which (if any) do you consider to be timeless, that won’t go out of style in a few seasons? (I’m looking to build a very minimal bag collection that will last years)
- Which style is easier to maintain? (I know they’re all light colors, but maybe some are easier to keep clean due to the shape?) does white intrecciato easily get dirty in general?
- Any other feedback really
Sorry for bombarding with so many questions, with the recent price increase it’s harder to pull a trigger.. any advice is appreciated!

I prefer the mini loop because boxy types do not look good on me. I like that it sits well crossbody.

Both bags have classic silhouettes. I'd personally steer clear of a white bag, but that's because I don't trust myself. I used my China Red camera bag (here) almost daily for about 3 years, and it's a similar rectangular silhouette to this loop. On my camera bag, if I'm looking closely trying to find dirt, I do see a bit of color transfer/darkening at the edges of the intrecciato strips where they rub against my clothes the most, but that's to be expected. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1. You might own the bag forever, but how frequently do you imagine using it? Like only for special occasions, or as a daily carry?

2. Which one fits your stuff the best for the required occasion(s)?

3. Which one makes you happy to hold and carry?

There's no obviously wrong choice here, which is why it's so difficult. Do keep us posted!

Such good points, thank you so much for your reply! I did some research and seems like both would fit phone/lipstick/cardholder/earphones, though loop doesn’t have adjustable straps it seems also read that loop shows wear on corners rather early, so maybe pouch would be a smarter choice..

I had the same dilemma. I preferred the look of the pouch but it was just too tricky to dig my phone in & out so I eventually opted for the loop.
Can’t help re colour cos I always favour safe black!

I’m considering this bag too! I want a nice undetectable summer bag. Some people in this thread have made comments about corner wear:

Price increase

Yes, I bought mine at 950 Euros in May 22.

The Loop is easier to use.

I considered the mini loop myself, but I’m so glad that I bought the regular loop. I don’t carry a lot, just a wallet, cardholder, key pouch, and phone, but all of that wouldn’t fit well in the mini.
