Do you think a pair of sunglasses would fit in the mini with your iPhone XR, keys, and small wallet? I love minis but hate when they can't fit a pair of sunglasses (need them here in CA).
Mine fit in the Small but I cannot imagine they'd fit in the mini, but then mine are those oversize frame glasses.
Depending on how big your sunglasses(case) is I would say yes. My hard case isn’t too big nor thick and I was able to fit it on top of everything else if I didn’t carry my tall bottle of hand sanitizer (need all the room length wise if you know what I mean). A soft case definitely would fit.
I don’t usually keep my phone in the bag either if I’m wearing something with pockets so that always leaves extra room for other stuff. Just nice to know it can fit if I ever need the space
Hi!
I hope this helps you
They all fit in the mini perfectly.
If you have a SLG, would fit too.
My iPhone is the max size
(couldn't fit my bifold wallet with all these itens)
Thank you! Appreciate the visual... I'm shocked the Ray Ban case fits!! That one's bulky.Hi!

Thanks!! So helpful. This sounds like it fits just about what my medium Celine box holds. I'm so tempted now
Oh perfect! You are a Box owner! Then yes, I definitely would say they fit about the same. When I went back to do the exchange (from the mini to the small) my friend brought her medium Box and I brought my small Box and we tried it all!
Whatever she was carrying that day in her medium Box all fit in the mini 1955 and it wasn't like she had plenty of room to spare in her medium Box that day either.
Another bonus is how light the 1955 horsebit actually is in both the mini and the small (especially if you go with the canvas ones) when you compare it to something like the Box.
I'm currently perfectly content with my classic boxy bag collection thanks to the small 1955 horsebit
I am so excited to share that I took the plunge and ordered the GG monogram horsebit shoulder bag today!!!
I am finally in a fairly major city (house hunting for an upcoming move from the rural midwest) and called the local Saks to see which bags they had in stock. I've been looking for a new brown bag for about 6 months and had considered various bags from Gucci, LV, and Saint Laurent...but the Guccis were the ones that (at least in photos online) really had my heart. When I walked into the store, I thought my first choice would be the Gucci Marmont small flap in the new brown color, but when I saw the mono horsebit I basically swooned, lol. No, it isn't quite as versatile (IMHO) as the Marmont because I don't think it can be dressed up as much, but 99% of my life is very casual. I brought my husband with me for a second opinion and although he really liked both bags, he LOVED the horsebit and said it just "looked like me," and he's right. At heart I'm a preppy gal with a classic style, and this bag just screams classic Gucci to me! I had a brief dilemma over whether I should get the all-brown-leather version rather than the coated canvas, but I'm pretty sure I've read that the leather used for this bag is fairly fragile, and I felt like the coated canvas would be easier to keep looking new. I don't usually love monogram bags or logos because they make me feel too conspicuous, but I feel like Gucci's is pretty low-key and subtle.
My new bag is supposed to arrive sometime next week (the floor model was the only one they had in stock), and I promise to post some photos once I receive it. I don't post often because I'm a shy introvert, but I have learned so much on TPF and in the Gucci forum in particular, so I owe a huge debt of gratitude to you all and definitely want to pay it forward.
Thank you all for all the photos, discussion, and information about this bag -- I am extremely grateful for it all!

And I have just bought the Horsebit mini shoulder bag (canvas and brown) - one of the cutest, well made bags I’ve ever seen! Pictures to follow tomorrow (dark here now)....
Hi can you confirm if this is the 25cm bag? It looks awesome on youFinally wore her out last night
View attachment 5066728
Wore a low messy bun so no strands of hair were harmed for the duration of 4 hours
Thank you
and yes, it's the 25cm (the bigger one) that only comes with 1 non-removable strap. Here is the exact size I got off the website... - Small size: 9.8"W x 7"H x 3.1"D
Some comparison pictures for reference....mini vs. small
