Is anyone as confused as I am regarding the size of the mini marti? They seem to be sized differently everywhere. Even on the AW site itself, they list the mini washed black with irr. hardware as 15 L x 13 H x 5 W while the mini with rose gold hardware is 13 L x 9.5 H x 5 W, with the black with rhodium hardware is back at 15 L x 13 H x 5 W.
I purchased a regular marti off of Ebay and it's too large for me, so size is definitely an issue. Trying to resell it and hope to get a mini, but if there's little difference in size it seems pointless. Any advice? BTW the regular martis on the AW site are listed anywhere from 14 L x 10.5 H to 13.5 L x 17 H so I'm truly confused.:cray:

Has anyone seen them in person? They don't seem to be that small when I read the size descriptions but who knows. I'm sort of intrigued by the Emile and Diego mini? With no mod shots on the web, it's hard to tell.

a please post a photo if anyone got one!

I found some model shots of the diego and the marti which both look awesome!
No sight of the rockie or emile being modelled.
I think the mini rockie will look a bit cartoonish and silly but I hope I'm wrong

I am a big fan of the minis as Im the type of person who likes small bags. I cannot wait to get my hands on the mini emile :) Might even sell my rockie and get the mini rockie. I wish more color combinations will be released though.

thanks love. I tried searching earlier but found nothing so thanks for posting these.

the Diego is very cute.

I think the rockie is small enough as it is, any smaller and you're right, it might look silly.

I'm also intrigued with the Emile and the Diego.

I have a rockie but I hardly use it because it's small for me as an everyday bag.

I tried on the mini diego at the Alexander Wang store in nyc two weeks ago.. it's not very "mini"- it's a great size; just a tad smaller than the regular diego and has a shorter strap. I'm 5'4 and it was a good length as a shoulder bag but looked a little too bulky when worn cross body because the strap was a little too short.

I didn't see any Emile's tho. was really hoping to try one out. I like the size of the Diego but really not a huge difference and it is very bulky to wear cross body. don't know if this will be joining my collection.

Hello Wang lovers,
I'm new to AW and would really like to know so more about the Diego (mini).
I recently found myself falling for this bag, i know, it's been around for a while now, but i was searching for a bucket bag for the summer and it just kept popping up on my computer screen en i really like it.
So does anyone here own a Diego mini? And if so does it hold a lot? Is it heavy? And how is the hardware holding up? I think i will get one with pale gold, does the color of the hardware fade?
I would love to hear from you all! TIA!

^^ Thanks for posting those pics!! :smile1:

Wow the mini diego looks like a regular diego but with a shorter strap! I am still debating whether to go for a mini emile or mini diego. But I like to wear cross body bags and the diego seems like it can only be shoulder for me.
