I agree- the mini definitely cannot fit over your shoulder! But, the longer strap on the mini lady is SO comfy to wear on one shoulder as compared to my large bucket.
While I love my mini black/ ballerina lady for the beauty and style, compared to my large bucket (which cost $595), the mini lady ($750) seems like so much less of a bag to me that I feel guilty spending nearly $200 more (when you calculate taxes) for a smaller, less functional bag.
I'm so torn. I love how the shape sits sleekly against my body (vs the large bucket protruding off my hip). But, the mini lady is that bag to have on hand for moments of carrying minimal items.
