I'd keep the royal/royal since that combination has been discontinued. I have one in the same colour combination but unfortunately in large. :( I wont be keeping it due to the size but if it were in a smaller size it'd be my favourite bag! :D

It's so hard to say without knowing your needs. I love the mini size and have a royal canvas and black saffiano flamma in mini. I love them both and use them a lot, especially the royal canvas right now because it's summer. I'm town on which to recommend because I think the black flamma is more versatile but the royal is gorgeous and discontinued! If you could keep both that would be ideal. I'm not sure about the mini mini and when I tried one on in tumble leather I thought it just looked too small. But I am not petite!

thank you! actually I prefer black/ camello becus it's more of a neutral color but I too understand that the royal/royal is likely discontinued.. another reason is becus the black/flamma and royal r both mini, so I feel like I should just keep one of them :p argh!

Anyone have a mini mini? Can you fit anything in it? lol. I just purchased one because it looks like it would be a cute crossbody bag, but hoping that it isn't so small that I can't carry anything. Any help would be appreciated!

And I so prefer the large!! Wish mine was the large as I sold my mini as it was too small.

I just read in another thread here but thought more appropriate to put this in the bucket chat thread here. This isn't really a comparison of the leather look, but more how the leather affects the size/bulkiness of the bucket.

Is the saffiano leather much heavier than the vegetable tanned? For the regular bucket size.

Also is it much stiffer and hence bulkier than the veg tanned? It sounds as if the veg tanned is more pliable than the saffiano but I recall seeing it in real life (once! a friend's! you know how rare these things are :laugh: ) and it was pretty stiff to maintain the shape.
I would say, to my memory, the saffiano is slightly stiffer than the regular veg tanned but not heavier? Both end up equal in size though or is the veg tanned softer hence doesn't look as bulky?

Does anyone have both on hand to compare?

I do find my saffiano a little big on me but I'm thinking it's more that I'm not used to this size as my usual bags are smaller. I don't think in terms of size, it cinches up bulkier than the veg tanned though?

The saffianio bucket bag is not larger than the vege leather bucket bag. In my experience, the vege and saffiano leather are the same stiffness in the beginning, but the vege leather will soften a little, while the saffiano will keep the stiffness. I personally like the stiffness/structure!

The maximum my mini mini can fit- a small water bottle, small wallet, car keys, facial tissue and an iPhone 6. Hope this helps!
