this may seem like a stupid question, but how do you close the bag? I just got mine today and i love it but there is a pull through space on the flap of the bag and on the bottom. Are you supposed to pull the strings through both? TIA!

Thank you!!
The mini doesn't seem that small. Do you mind commenting on the sizes?? Will you keep both?

The sizes aren't as vastly different as I thought. There is probably noticeably more room in the regular though when I put stuff in. Both are big enough for my needs.
I think I will keep them both but I am not sure yet. I did get them both for pretty good prices and I don't think I'd find them as cheap again plus they're in really good condition, one minor scratch on the cammello that I will condition if I keep it, so if I don't keep these I probably won't buy again.

I did return two totes in the same two colour combinations a little while back because they were just too large and gaping, didn't need something that big. I said back then I'd return them and get a lady bag when they were available again.

Here's another pic standing up

Are they as light to carry as the buckets?

Good question. I'll compare the weights today, I'll get a bucket out and see. Alone I wouldn't call either of them heavy. But I'll do a direct comparison of weight shortly.
 
#892
Regular bucket seems the same weight as the regular lady bag. Mini is pretty much the same. Any weight difference seems very slight if any, I haven't actually weighed them but they feel the same to hold to me.


More pics in better light also my stuff in each bag:

Thanks so much for these pics! I was initially leaning towards the larger LadyBag, but I from these pics, I think I prefer the mini now. It looks big enough for my things so I don't end up stuffing it to fill the dead space. Lol.

Yes its definitely a good size, they both are. I am seriously considering keeping both. I have sold over $4000 in bags since Christmas (including 4 MG buckets) and sent back over $2000 I considered keeping but decided against at the last minute. So I think I'm in a position to add these two.
Especially since I got a great price on both, less than rrp.

Wow! That's fantastic. Would be great if you could share some tips on selling Mansur's / downsizing collections and where you sold them. I have seen other posts on here where a Purseforum members have sold on eBay and had their Buckets / crossbody bags returned and swapped out for fakes.

I did actually use ebay. The options here I find aren't great and they don't sell anywhere else. So far so good, my main gripe with ebay is the fees from both them and then paypal. But I went from 36 bags total to 31 then bought these 2.
I've decided to definitely keep the black regular lady bag. Took it out last night and I'm actually liking the flap part, makes it more secure than the bucket and definitely wasn't any trouble to get into the couple of times I had to.

I decided to send it back.

I finally had time to play with it and I don't care for the flap closure.

Did you decide to keep yours?

Ohh really?! The cammello, right?

For now, I still have it. I've been using my large bucket, which I love more each day. I'm almost wondering if I should return my mini lady for another color bucket...it's a hard decision, because this mini lady fits the bag type I'm lacking. I'll decide soon! I'll have to ship back to Bergdorf Goodman (which is a disaster)! It could take a month to refund my card...ugh
