I was wondering if this bag is for young girls? I just saw a college age young lady with a tangerine (dont know the official name) little Leslie in the lift. It looked cute. Although I dont look my age (> 35) I'm not sure if my Minka is age appropriate for me 
I wonder those of you who have this bag or the Leslie or any smilar KS styles.. are you in your 20s or what's your age group?

I'm 33 and I have a hot pink little minka. I say wear what makes you happy!
I'm 31 and I think this purse has a classic shape and would work for any ageI was wondering if this bag is for young girls?

I agree. I'm 34.. little minka is super versatile & suits any age in my opinion.
Thanks all
I'm loving it and have been using it for a week straight. I do think I wear it well
(Oh I'm referring to my violet lil minka not the black large minka above)

Yup u do wear it well! Esp the pop of purple.. brightens up any outfit!! (I have a mbmj pansy purple fran & I love how it contrasts with my usual dark color casual outfits)
On the other hand, the large minka looked a little too big for u but big bags are always v stylish! 😊
Yeah I'm surprised that it matches most of my wardrobe! Definitely adds a pop to my outfit
I feel the large Minka is kinda big too, especially when I hold it in my hand it's almost dragging on the floor~ but I like bigger bags and love the extra room.
I just received my first Little Minka in Dusty Emerald (loooove the color!) yesterday. Instant love for me! She is def roomy and nice & soft. She is the perfect crossbody length on me and that's hard to find (I'm 5'8). I can also wear her on my shoulder - it's a snug fit for me and I personally wouldn't wear it that way for an extended period of time, but she does fit.
Minka is a GREAT everyday bag. Roomy, comfy, and stylish. I think it spans all age groups and can be worn by anyone. I love both of mine!!!
I agree! This isn't the type of bag that looks young to me. It's not the purse equivalent of seeing a 90 year old woman wearing pants with Juicy on the butt.
But really, I think you should carry what you like regardless of your age. If you like a purse, who cares if it's popular with people of a different age group? But what you love and don't worry about anyone else!

KS appears to be popular with a younger group of people than Coach for example. On Coach forum there are a lot of people who admit to being 50-60+. I haven't seen any here. I am in the older group, so sometimes feel maybe I'm liking bags that I shouldn't. I love Mini Minka, Little Minka. Small Leslie, and Small Audrey. Am I alone?
But by the same token, I see a lot of high school girls (and younger!) with Coach bags so I don't think that Coach necessarily skews older exclusively. I just think that the teenagers aren't the ones posting here.
I'm not a teenager but I'm also not 60+ either. I know what I like but I'm more concerned with the form and functionality than the brand. One of my favorite bags is a $20 no name black leather purse that I randomly found in a weird store near campus (weird because half the store is shirts, jerseys, and hats with the university name/logo but the store also has a Clinique counter). I used that bag every day for several years without any wear and tear because it was made really well. I was definitely not college aged anymore when I bought it but I didn't care about that!
