Hey beautiful people!
I preordered this beauty and just received it today..so excited because I’ve always loved the design! I had previously tried the BB in the wicker style, but it felt bulky on my frame. So when I heard whispers about a Mini version, I knew I had to jump on it:biggrin:.
First impressions..it’s stunning:loveeyes:! Surprisingly functional too..I can fit a small wallet, lipstick, and even my Pro Max vertically:lol:. And hey, practicality is overrated when the bag is that stunning. You just need a lipstick, a cardholder, and your air of mystery:graucho:.
This one doesn’t have the two separate compartments like the leather Mini, which actually makes the interior more usable.
Crossbody wear looks sleek and not bulky at all. Shoulder carry doesn’t stick out, and handheld is super easy to grab and go. So far, it’s looking very promising!:tup:
Now off to play dress up and see if it’s a keeper! just need some warm weather in New York :biggrin:!
Thanks

@mc79638 Thank you! So exciting that yours is on the way:smile:fingers crossed for a smooth and speedy delivery!
And yes, today’s weather couldn’t be better… my little wicker beauty finally got her debut! Can’t wait for you to enjoy yours too..it’s such a fun piece!
we’ll be bag twins living our best wicker lives!:drinks::lol:
 
Thanks for posting, I have been anxiously waiting posts about this bag!
I bought the 2023 BB version, and it is stunning, but I agree, it is BIG. I am 5’4” and it just doesn’t look right with the shoulder strap, so it is a hand held only bag for me. Which means I have only worn it once in close to two years.
So I just placed an order for the white wicker mini this weekend (my BB is in tan trim). I have only seen pictures of the white, so I hope I love it. But I know for sure I will get a lot more use out of a mini than the BB.

Thanks so much ! I’m so glad the post was helpful. I’ve been waiting to see more chatter on this bag too!
I totally get you the BB is beautiful but definitely feels big, especially for us around 5’4 ! I had the same issue and ended up returning mine for that exact reason. It was really only practical as a handheld bag, and with that hefty price tag, I just couldn’t justify it.
That’s why I was so excited when the Mini came out..the proportions are so much better, and it’s way more wearable crossbody or handheld. That said… the Mini price tag is still a lot to wrap my head around:panic:. It’s teeny tiny, and yet somehow absurdly expensive!
I think you’re going to love the white version..it looks so crisp and elegant. Fingers crossed it arrives perfect!

My thoughts exactly on all this. I bought my BB in France while on vacation, so I couldn’t return. And I still love looking at it, but it is so impractical to wear. Here it is on my lap when I wore it to my nieces baby shower; it is like toting around a big picnic basket since the wicker is solid. You can see that it takes up most of my lap.
But a mini will get a LOT more use since it can be worn crossbody.
Congrats on a treasure!

Aww thank you so much! And wow :loveeyes: your BB is absolutely stunning, but I totally see what you mean. It really does look like a chic little picnic basket on your lap! The structured wicker is beautiful but definitely not the most practical for everyday wear.
I think you’re going to love the Mini for that reason alone..it just works so much better crossbody and handheld without feeling bulky. Fingers crossed your new one arrives soon and turns out perfect. Wicker girls unite!👯‍♀️
By the way, how’s your BB holding up quality wise after a couple of years? Any wear on the wicker or hardware? I’m so curious how these will age over time?

It is in pristine condition since I only used it once.
It spent most of its first year as “closet art” looking gorgeous on a shelf, but then I realized dust might be an issue because of the slats in the wicker weave. So now it lives in its dust bag just to be extra careful. But no issues whatsoever with the wicker, leather or hardware.

That’s so good to hear..thank you for sharing!
I totally get the “closet art” moment :lol: it really is such a beautiful piece to look at! Glad to know yours is still in pristine shape that gives me hope for long-term wear!
Can’t wait to hear your first thoughts once your Mini arrives:smile: fingers crossed it’s a perfect one!

I just got the message that my bag arrived in the store. But ugh, my week is so busy I won’t be able to pick her up until probably Friday. But isn’t she pretty? The white trim is my second favorite, but since I already have the BB in tan trim I thought I should go for the white in the mini. I can’t wait to get my hands on her!

Oh, and I should also add that they had the black trim mini in the store when I was there this past Saturday. It was SUPER pretty too, but I had to seriously consider that I didn’t wear a lot of black in the summer. And wicker is a summer bag for sure. But it was VERY tempting. But my go-to look in summer is blue and white. And what really pushed me over the edge to order the white trim in is that the interior has the blue and white LV print. So I placed an order the white, and think that was the best decision for me. But if I win the lottery, I am getting the black trim mini too! :D
But here are a couple photos of the black trim mini in case anyone is curious.
