Well, I did it. And I'm wrong, it's not just a 5% reduction in capacity.

I placed a sandwich bag into the mono mini pochette and filled it with water to the point where I can push the 2 top edges together without water getting pushed out past the zipper line. I wasn't going to try to zip it up and risk the plastic getting caught on the zipper so there will be some error.

438 g of water can fit in the mono mini pochette (or roughly 438 cc or mL - just going to assume the baggie weight is negligible)

348 g of water can fit in the pastel mini pochette (or roughly 348 cc or mL)
View attachment 4701706

That's nearly 20.6% reduction in capacity from the mono to the pastel.

I took out the baggie with water from the pastel mini pochette and placed it into the mono one. You can see the water line doesn't even come close to zipper!

Just for comparison, based on the website dimensions of 15.5 cm x 10.5 cm x 4.0 cm, the capacity based on exterior dimensions should be 651 cc or mL. but it's not a perfect rectangular prism so you get some reduction when we're talking actual capacity.
Thanks for doing the experiment and sharing it with us all. It’s good to know considering the cost is almost double the plain MP. Either way I’m sure the pastel still brings a smile to your face and in this day and age that’s all that matters. It’s still a gorgeous and unique MP!
 
I purchased the Bleu and received it yesterday. I love it! and now I'm also thinking I need the pastel also lol.

It’s the worst ! I should’ve just gotten both like my instinct told me. [emoji31] I actually had been able to call CS & place an order for the pastel one earlier this week but they mysteriously cancelled it on me. I had a billing issue I called to correct. And had a really less-than SA help me with that. I’m not placing blame but when I called back last night to see why my order was cancelled they said it was my info input incorrectly. So discouraged. And on top of it the shoddy SA who put my data in wrong, was rude to me the entire time. Hoping more are released or I can snag one somehow ! Good luck to you in the search as well.
 
View attachment 4694579 View attachment 4694580 Has anyone got this yet? I wonder if it’s the same size as the mini apollo backpack (eclipse) charm from a few years ago?

Just got mine-- It's the same size. The quality leaves a lot to be desired though. Looks really lopsided and the inside lining is squished in there and crooked. The straps are shorter than on the eclipse, which I like cause I wear it on my wrist.

Oooh thank you! What do you use them for/put in them? Straps aside, which one do you prefer more? I’m in 2 minds between these and can’t decide. Ended up ordering the eclipse and just waiting for it to be shipped! Thank you!

lol I use it for *everything*!!! It's my daily carry for running errands. Cards, lipgloss, cash, keys, earphones, sometimes sunscreen. And I usually stuff receipts in the front pocket.
My heart swoons for the eclipse one cause it matches my normal sized Apollo backpack, and the quality is better.
It is honestly the most fave/used/versatile/functional piece I own from my entire collection. :heart: Useless to some, priceless to others!
