That's not me, it was a very helpful SA at bird in NYC but u get the idea lol [emoji1]
I just ordered one yesterday during relaunch. Plan on taking it out as soon as it gets here, will definitely give you my thoughts about it! [emoji1] I'm also curious so maybe someone else can chime in before then!
I've got mini lady brandy/avion, I'm 5'1, so it's perfect size for me, and I love the look on me. However, as a everyday bag, I found it too small, for work bag that it. I usually carry speedy 30 or longchamp le pilage for work but small lady only fits my LV Emilie wallet, LV card case for my transport card, my glasses case, and a small mini size makeup bag, plus a pack of Kleenex tissue. I need to be very mindful everytime I take things out of the mini lady, as things are tactically arranged to fit inside this bag and if I rush to get anything out say my card case, I might distort other items inside this bag and they might fall out of the bag. I'm planning to get a black regular size lady for work or everyday bag so it can fit 13" laptop or even a pair of flats?? Also my brandy mini lady got a big oil stain on the front flap and stands out a lot , so that's why I will get black for everyday bag, I still love the veggie tan leather though, like the structure and don't mind minor scratches.
Hi everyone! Today I finally saw the mini lady and regular lady side by side at a boutique near where I live. It is SO cute!!! To be honest it's smaller than I imagined which is exactly what I wanted I'm so glad I ordered the mini size, I think it'll fit my 5'1" frame well. Seeing the mini lady and regular bucket side by side was sooooo surprising, I'd forgotten the size of the regular bucket since I hAvent carried it in months, it looks huge next to the mini lady lol. I also got to see the color blush in real life and wow it is gorgeous!!! I'm so tempted to get a mini bucket in blush now [emoji7]
thanks for letting us know!! I love the blush color as well, just cannot decide between a crossbody or mini bucket in blush... what do you think? [emoji12]
fingers crossed for your mini lady! I'm sure it will be amazing [emoji4]
It will stand up on its own if there's anything in it.
I use it as a daily bag and it's perfect for me - I am a 'smaller bag' person though and I don't carry a lot of stuff to work other than the essentials.
Here's a quick 'what's in my bag' to give you an idea - wallet, keys, sunnies, makeup pouch, umbrella and iPhone (taking the photo). Can also squeeze in a light scarf.
Thank you so much for your opinion and the photos. This helps enormously. It's difficult to make a decision when you can't see the bag in person and you can't return it. The 'standing up' thing is important to me, so that helps. Your bag is gorgeous!
I received the mini lady in rococco today, definitely more burgundy but it's more like brick red to me, a bit too red IMO. It's on its way back already, packed it straight back up. Wasn't a fan of the lady bag in calf at all to be honest.
I'm interested in getting a lady bag for work, but am having trouble picking the size (regular or large). I don't see a lot of comments or modeling pictures for the large size.
I'm used to carrying large bags, but am afraid that if it's too big, it would look rather funny worn crossbody. I'd generally like to be able to carry a large notebook, a magazine, an iPad mini, my essentials (small wallet, keys), and a thermos. Occasionally, I'd like to be able to carry my MacBook 13" with charger for days I need it.
Also, with regards to material, I realize I probably need something that holds it shape as my bag could get quite heavy. I was wondering how to the vegetable tanned leather might hold up. I was looking at the saffiano too, but I love the way the vegetable tanned leather wears and I already have too many black work bags!
Any thoughts on size or material would be appreciated!! Thanks so much

I love the regular lady as I think the large is too big to be worn crossbody... it looks best when it is hand held imo, but then it won't be too practical if held that way.
you can refer to this post (the moss is regular, black is large):
some size comparison pics with my buckets (mini black and regular brandy) if u're wondering how big the lady bags are...

both veg tanned and saffiano are great! however the calf would be rather slouchy... hope this helps!
