I’ve been looking for a black mini flap but that seems to be impossible to get at this point. My SA told me that there was a brown square available and sent me a pic, but in my eyes it’s more orange. Is this a colour that is worth splurging $5,000+CAD on? Or should I keep waiting for a black or dark colour to come in? I already have the following black mini bags: boy small with RHW, Saint Laurent large envelope WOC, and pochette felicie. TIA

I personally love this orangey brown colour, even more than the brown brown that everybody seems to love here. But if this is the only mini flap you gonna have (at least for awhile), you might want to go with a more neutral colour that you know you won't get tired of and easy to style with.

Black will always comeback, just wait! :flowers:

It took me forever to get a black one. I feel you! I just wanted a black one and passed on a lot pretty ones. The black mini square is very classic and chic. Then there are the rest. I’d wait for THE ONE that makes your heart sing. If you are not sure about this one - pass!

I’m so excited to finally be part of the mini club. Was super lucky to obtain one from the 21k collection. But, is it just me? Or, does the leather seem kind of dry, dull and thin this season? At first glance, thought it was faux leather but I know that shouldn’t be the case. 803FCEB6-3864-4A07-91BF-9F5E407EF670.jpeg

It is a very pretty and striking colour! But you’re absolutely right, this will be my only mini, and I think I’ll have buyer’s remorse after awhile. If any of the neutral colours was available (black, grey, beige, brown) I would grab it in a heartbeat! Guess I’ll have to wait longer.

Yes, black is classic and I feel better now about not caving and waiting for a black one to come along! It’s a fun colour but not something I can justify dropping $5k on. Thanks for your comment, I hope I can find the one soon. :)

If I recall correctly, there will be grey and beige minis next season, and a lot more colours for adjustable minis, so it won't be a long wait! :wave:

Lambskin? Mine is arriving tomorrow. I will take a close look inspecting. Thanks for heads up!

Hello everyone! I recently was able to get ahold of the 21A burgundy mini rectangular. This is my first mini rectangular. I loved it when I tried it on at the boutique but now I’m starting to question my decision. Should I have waited for the black one instead? Or maybe even go for another style of more neutral tone like a black Chanel 19 or gray boy bag? For reference, I have a few black Chanels already (caviar m/l classic flap, lamb mini vanity, caviar woc, caviar boy). What do you guys think? Any help would be appreciated since my 14 days return window is getting close to the end. View attachment 5116331

Looks beautiful. I personally prefer pop color over black. Where did you get it?
