I'm not sure which model you are referring to by saying "small"---there is the nano (tiny), the BB (which I consider to be small); and the next model up (MM) which is medium, but not sure if they are making this size anymore). I have the BB in black with gold hardware and I love it. I don't wear it as a daily bag---it's just too small for that. But it's fantastic as a going out bag and looks so elegant.
Since it is SO structured it doesn't hold that much (I can get my keys, iphone 12, a small wallet, lipstick, and maybe something else small in it)---one might consider that a con. But I don't as I never intended it to be a daily knock-around bag.
It is so beautifully made and durable. I have had no scratches on the leather, only a few small ones on the hardware, now after almost two years. Some people complain about the clasp but I have had no issues with it.
Hope this helps!
