Depends how she treats her bags ... I prefer the damier, you can set it down just about anywhere ... not that I do with mine, but I tend to think you'd need to be more careful with the mini lin. So ... damier gets my vote
She got the mini lin! Although I love the Damier too. She said she would just borrow my damier once in a while LOL. I also have the mini lin and its the only LV bag that my DH loves.
