For those that have both Cammello and Brandy buckets, which one do you prefer? I've suddenly realized that I prefer the Brandy..

I have a Brandy mini and a Cammello mini mini.

I bought the Brandy first and have loved it for a long time - even to the extent of buffing it with leather conditioner every 1-2 weeks to season the finish until it stopped showing scratches so easily.

The Cammello was an impulse purchase because I love the Rosa interior. I like it for days when I just need my wallet and phone, and it helps that I don't feel the need to baby it like the Brandy.

Does anyone know if the white/blu combo is back? I loved it and was so upset to see it was discontinued.

Are you referring to the saffiano or calf leather? I've got the calf and I haven't seen it anywhere in ages. It's my favourite MG. I've got buckets in brandy and cammello too but I find myself going back to the white more often! The corners get really dirty easily though if that's a concern for you!

You just reminded me that I have a brand new mini brandy tucked away. Might be time to bring it out!

I've taken a picture of it side by side with a well-loved cammello mini mini for comparison if you're interested! ;)

Haha no worries! Thanks for the pic :) I also have both, but brandy seems to work better with my wardrobe's color palette!

Hi thanks for your reply! I'm talking about the calf leather one. I saw it on Bergdorf website two days ago and ordered one, but given the fact that BG cancel orders quite often I'm not sure if my order was successful.

Yes my biggest concern is that white color gets dirty much easier than other colors. How do you take care of it? Do you pretreat the bag or anything to prevent the corner wear? Thanks!

I use wet wipes on dirt stains to lighten it, but have not been successful in cleaning it to look as good as new. I condition it maybe once a month/ 2 months but I don't baby my bag at all!.I've had it since april last year and use it about 3 times a week. I won't say it is looking terrible though, calf leather doesn't scratch as easily as the veg tanned ones!

Oh, you want to be careful of colour transfer when you wear denim!

Thanks I'm so happy to hear that you love the bag and use it a lot. I am going to use my white bucket as much as I want to. I have a mini black bucket bag and that's my go-to bag whenever I don't know which bag to carry. I am sure this white bag will be as easy to match any outfits as the black one :)
