Love your collection! How do you find your reissue mini flap? I’m considering the black one from 22p but wondering how it wears compared to the cf mini with the leather, structure, aged hw? Thank you
Thank you :flowers:

I got that mini reissue almost exactly two years ago (serial #29xxx....). It is one of my most worn and least babied bags. I don't really see any signs of wear on it yet. I do store it stuffed with tissue paper in a dustbag when not using it. I do expect to see some signs of hardware wearing off on the lock the more I use it.

The structure hasn't been affected - stuffing it with tissue paper might be helping with that. It certainly fares better than my 266 reissues - they do tend to develop a crease at the bottom, so I store those flat.

The aged hardware is fine too. I like the combination of aged ghw with that colour. I imagine that a black one will look lovely.

Thank you for sharing - so helpful to help me make a decision. The durability of it is one of the big reasons I am considering one as I would love one that needs less if any babying at all! And I love the understated look of the reissue mini. I have also seen ones where the flaps looked quite creased where it folds and the base not keeping flat like you mentioned with the 226, so was concerned the leather may be too soft - however the tissue paper seems to do the trick or maybe a insert to store it. Hopefully I get to see one irl on launch! :rolleyes:
