I've been looking at the tiny and medium in Fog myself. I have the tiny in both peacock and black and the mini in Fog, which I love and use frequently, especially for travel. I keep telling myself I do not need the medium. I sold a medium as being a bit too large for me but it is so tempting in Fog. Beautiful grey with shiny silver hardware. So hard to find that color combo anywhere.
I’ve been looking at the mini and the micro for travel too! Just not sure which would work best. There are no reviews on the micro and the mini has a super long crossbody strap. Not a fan of knotting the strap either. You’re tempting me to keep both the black and sapphire tiny bags, even though I only planned on keeping one. Here is the sapphire tiny PS1 I just received today.

I actually do use my peacock and black tinys quite a bit! I could probably get by with just one of them but having both is really versatile and the peacock has silver hardware and the black has gunmetal. For the mini, I took out the knot in the strap and took it to my local cobbler who put in extra holes. The tail on it now is rather long with un-used holes so I've played around with knotting just the remaining tail and its pretty cute and doesn't get in my way. ETA: Though the benefit of getting the tiny in Fog is that I could use the tiny strap on the mini, I think.
Ah that is a benefit of having the same color bag that I haven’t thought of... you can interchange the straps! I also didn’t think to get a cobbler to add more holes, what a great idea! I think the mini size would hold a ton for travel... just not sure which color I’d get...
The only problem with adding more holes is that the unused portion of the end is then fairly long and flops a bit. The keeper is fixed near the top and doesn't slide down to keep the unused portion of the strap secure. (Hope that makes sense!) That's why I've been playing around with knotting the loose part around the middle.
The mini is a nice size though, with a zippered pocket on the back. Great travel bag.
I wish the new minis came with a zippered pocket in the back! I just see versions with a slip pocket or no pocket. I am still trying to decide what color to get the mini in. If I get sapphire, can use the tiny strap. The fog I don’t think a medium strap would work as well. Or go completely off board and get a dark orange to not have any redundant colors but that color doesn’t speak to me like the others do. Here is the medium fog I purchased off the PS website. This time it shipped through farfetch via UPS and it did not come with an authenticity card.
My tiny sapphire shipped super quickly from DHL Italy and arrived with everything.Attachments

It's beautiful! I'm sorry that it didn't come with an authenticity card. I'd contact Farfetch and ask them to send you another one perhaps. Love that fog color though!
Hmm . . . other colors for the mini . . . when I travel, I find that blue, black and grey are my best friends. They just blend and go with everything since I generally tend to travel with that color palette of clothing and wear lots of denim. The tiny is a great travel bag as well. I generally use the tiny for airplane/airport travel and then longer day trips. The tiny is so lightweight and comfortable to wear. I use the mini for shorter travel excursions or sporting events when I really need very little but don't want to bring one of my more expensive WOC's or Chanel mini. I'd ask yourself how and where do you see using the mini and that might help narrow down the color choices.
By the way, my other favorite day trip/travel bag is the Balenciaga metallic edge hip. The goatskin is so durable but still lightweight and it holds so much more than you'd think. I think it has been discontinued but that's a bag that you can pick up on Fashionphile or Ebay potentially as another lightweight travel option in a fun color.
The balenciaga hip looks nice! I need a bag that is good for rainy weather. I feel like the PS1s aren’t rainy weather bags. Has anyone had any experience with lambskin and rain. I had some color dye transfer onto my receipt yesterday from the sapphire and I had no idea when that happened. I’ve been eyeing the mini PS1+ for this reason. Does anyone know if the calfskin holds up better when wet?
I don't own a PS1+ but I've taken the classic lamb PS1 bags out in all weather, that's one reason why I love them for travel. I also live in a rainy climate (pacific northwest) and these are the bags I grab when the weather is worst and I haven't had any color transfer. I'd be curious to know how the calfskin version holds up too. You can also spray the sapphire with something like Apple Guard or Collonil Water Stop spray.
Here is the PS1+ mini in asphalt grey. I think this will make a great travel bag due to the calfskin, the pin lock (which does make it harder to get in and out of but more secure for travel), the crossbody strap is a decent length, very similar to the tiny. The strap doesn’t seem to be easy to remove and I think I will miss the back pocket in the regular mini. I do like how the straps that tuck in the front are shorter and therefore this bag could be a bit dressier than the regular lambskin mini. It definitely carries my essentials and I do think the micro would have been too small, even though I’m sad it missed out on the silver during Barneys store closing sale. I’m glad I got this on farfetch at a decent sale price that I was comfortable to pay for a mini. I still need to remove the stickers
