I just purchased a Camello/Rosa large. I've bee hunting for a mini for quite some time, but they're really difficult to find, so I hope the large size doesn't dwarf me (I'm only 5'2"). I think I prefer the look of them when they're scaled down.

So here's a what's in my mini backpack pics. The mini in camello is stiff as it's new. Capacity I feel is about the same or even slightly more than the mini bucket.
I have my bag insert with all my stuff, long wallet, mini ipad, keys and of course my phone in the backpack. The flat zip pouch is not very useful as you can really only put flat things inside it....useful for bus passes amd cards/receipts. Hope the pics help.

Hi cwt I don't mean to intrude... But am 5'4 and also wanted a backpack for the same reason (traveling), ended up getting the large size. Large fits more like a regular bucket whereas I think mini backpack may fit more like mini bucket. For travel a large size seemed much more practical to me! Gl deciding because I like both sizes and mini is definitely "cuter" if that is the look you are going for. Large backpack is not as large as say, a Herschel supply backpack, so though it is big I wouldn't say it's huge.

Thanks Taro! I wanted to get a large size in Cammello/Rosa or Brandy but it's sold out everywhere. So I ended up pre-ordering a mini backpack in Cammello/Rosa from Bergdorf Goodman and am waiting for it to arrive in October. Would you mind posting some modeling pictures of your backpack？Thanks a million:p

I just pre-ordered the black/flamma mini bucket from Forward (still available right now). I almost went for their Brandy/raw mini bucket instead but it was a returned item marked with scratches (so final sale) so I decided to pass. Hoping that the small bucket won't be too small for daily use (although I've tried on the regular bucket and found it a bit big.)

I think like my large brandy bucket and got rid of it. I love the mini bucket though.

OHMYGOD. My large Camello/Rosa just came, and I am blown away by how beautiful it is!!! I've had a Black/Ballerina bucket and Black/Flamma Lady pass through my hands, and wasn't quite so in love as I am now!!!

I'm going to need to get some leather conditioner to protect this baby!

I'm only 5'2", so I do still feel that this is a bit large on my frame, but I'm sure that over time, the leather will soften down a bit and it will feel smaller.

My cammello/dolly large backpack on the train ride home... Love it, perfect for weekend outings and I think it has gotten a bit darker already after just a couple uses. Or is it my imagination playing tricks on me?

I really want mini backpack! Saw a red mini that I really love (I'm crazy about any reds) but I know there r not many brand that offer leather that will patina like MG! So I decided to wait for Brandy, hoping to find red backpack from other brand. Hope I made the right choice

Wow it's gorgeous, congrats! I found the large bucket a bit overwhelming when I first got it but now totally love the size. Maybe it'll be the same for you with the large bucket? It really is a lovely bag in camello!
