Hello! I made an impulse and rather exciting purchase at the end of 2017 and it finally arrived a few days ago from Reebonz! I snagged a good deal, this was SGD $799.20 after a good 20% off.

But my first reaction on receiving it was ‘ITS SO SMALL!!’ I just want to get some opinions, is it too small for me? I’m 1.59m! It does fit all my essentials - I have to change out my wallet for a card holder which doesn’t really bother me that much.

I can’t decide whether to return it, I’m worried if it looks too small for my frame :sad: Help! Hahaha (but then again I’m not sure why I’m worrying when I have 2 mini cities )

Actually I wanted that too. Maybe you can check this thread - some very helpful posts on the pros and cons:

Thank you! Just finished reading the thread and I hope this clutch wouldn’t have the Cameron Diaz look cuz that’s looks awful. I was actually thinking of getting the big envelope clutch if I return this mini but a big clutch as a crossbody looks awkward too indecisive me

I think this is a good size on your frame, both as a clutch and a crossbody. And yes, I think the big clutch would only function as a cool, oversized clutch, but would probably be weird as a crossbody.

If this serves the function you intended it to, I would keep it. But if you were looking for something roomier that would still work as a crossbody, I would probably return it and keep looking (at other bags that are not as ‘flat’ as the clutch).

It is a gorgeous bag in a beautiful colour though! Love it!

Thank you for your opinions - you probably said what I had in my mind

I wouldn’t want the flap sticking out if I got the normal sized bag. yes I love that this cute small bag does fit all my essentials for a day out!
