Palm Spring mini backpack

I love mine as well. Definitely Mini backpack all the way. Fits a lot and is easy to carry. And I get so many looks and compliments as well. Gorgeous bag! And definitely cutest and most stylist mini backpack out there!
 
I just made that same decision. I went with the LV Palm Springs Mini Backpack. Not a well reasoned decision at all--it's just so CUTE! My daughter is not really into bags like I am but she might steal this one away from me. I found her trying it on and yelling, "I can't stand it! It's so cute!" So there you go. :lol:
 
This is the Louis Vuitton forum so most people will probably choose the mini backpack over the mini flap.

If you need a bag for formalish events, the mini flap will probably be the better choice. Mini flaps also look great with casual outfits.
The mini backpack is adorable, but may not be as versatile as the mini flap. I know Louis Vuitton bags are classic, but the mini backpack is kind of a trendy bag IMO, therefore more likely to lose its value.
