I have the small black one, just saw the leather ones on line they look beautiful.
How is the size of the mini? Do you know how much smaller than the small it is? My worry about the leather is it would be heavy. MJ leather bags use gorgeous leather but I often fine them heavy.

I only own one leather MJ bag and that’s my DTM Snapshot and oh my god, that leather is so nice, but very stiff, so I’m excited to try out the mini Traveler tote in leather. I actually own all three sizes of the Traveler tote, I can take pictures when I get home if you’d like?
 
I just ordered the mini one in blue yesterday and I'm so excited for it! I chose this over the small size because I think the mini would look better worn with the shoulder/crossbody strap.
I’m pretty thin, so the small size worn crossbody/shoulder looks so awkward on me, I only handheld carry it. The mini looks and feels so much better when worn crossbody/shoulders. I would like to add that the mini doesn’t have the inside pockets like the small and regular tote does

Yes, I was aware of that! It wasn't a deal breaker for me though since I don't tend to use the pockets inside of larger bags. Would you mind sharing some pics wearing it on the shoulder or crossbody?

That would be great if you don’t mind any chance you could do a what’s in my bag to compare the two? We are still in lockdown here in the UK so can’t go see them in person.
I adore my small tote and use it just going to the local shop for groceries whenever I can!
 
I just got the mini leather tote today and LOVE it. I have a small summer traveler tote and loved it at first, but ultimately it was a little too big for me for everyday carry (I just don't carry that much stuff), and a little bit too small for a weekend bag.

The mini holds my daily carry wonderfully (two pairs of rx glasses, a large notebook w/pen, wallet, Airpods, and phone). I'm not a fan of gold hardware, so will match with a strap with silver hardware, as I do like mixed metal looks. The leather is SO luscious and soft, it feels great to the touch and it looks great crossbody, which is how I intend to carry. It will definitely become my most used crossbody, it's my perfect size.

I've been having a look at this bag for long time, but I cannot manage to decide which size I want. In my hometown we dont have any MJ shop, so I havent been able to see them live and compare. Does an ipad fit in the mini? What about a 15'' computer in the small version?
Mainly what I have found is that the small is 33 cm wide and the mini 25 cm. But when I check reviews on Youtube, the mini looks bigger and the small looks smaller, so I'm pretty lost atm...

I cannot speak for the iPad mini, but I have a 15.6" laptop and just tried to put in my small traveler's tote, and it was way too long to fit sideways, at least two inches too long. I imagine the 15" laptop still would not fit. You'd have to stand it up vertically to fit, but then that would seem awkward to carry.
