I ordered the numero un mini in light pink and I am very happy with it! I was afraid that the color would be too light, but it's gorgeous and looks slightly peachy under certain light. Packaging was fantastic, the wrapping paper was barely even crinkled. The only slight inconvenience is that the metal chain can get a bit uncomfortable if you put too much stuff in the bag. It can be replaced though so I'm looking for a more comfortable one or maybe wrapping a scarf around it.

Thank you for sharing this information. I was wondering about that chain; it looks similar to the one used for the Furla Mini Metropolis, which users have also complained about being painful.

Has anyone tried these shopper silicon handles for the chain? Well, not posh but I believe they can take pain away.

I was also considering this sort of detachable shoulder pad, even less posh but easy to carry and swap on/off :) https://www.amazon.com/Matin-Replacement-Shoulder-Cushion-Straight/dp/B004R2U52K

I tried to capture its true color but it's quite difficult, the closest is against the grey background. I like that the color can appear pink in bright light (as on the website) and more yellow peach with low light. I was actually debating between picking the light pink or the peach color so this is a perfect middle ground. The chain is long on me as I am quite short (1m54) but you can easily shorten it by making a knot on the chain.

It looks beautiful on you! It’s such a feminine bag.

Oh, so this is the chain? It’s actually much different than what the website shows. I thought it was a “snake” chain (not sure of the formal name). Anyway, the bag looks good!

There ARE two different chains. My first Mini, ordered when they debuted on the website, is black and has the “snake” style chain.

My second Mini, which arrived yesterday, is peach and has the flatter chain. I don’t know which I prefer.
