I have a mini, but I think it's the same opening system. No clasp, I use my fingers to open, so far I haven't seen any damage to the leather or wear at that spot. I've been using mine almost daily for the past 3 months.

Yep, magnetic. I’m glad to hear the leather on yours has held up well under such use!
That made me skittish when I tested the pouch in my local boutique.

Update on The Pouch, which has arrived. It's a gorgeous bag, but I cannot make it work for my routine. I practice packed it, and it holds an amazing amount: two pairs of glasses, medicine kit, wallet, keys, a zippered cosmetic pouch. Not things I always need to carry, but I was just transferring what is in my daily bag into The Pouch. This all makes it quite voluminous, but the proportions look good. It does make it heavy, so grasping it with my hand and holding along the frame doesn't feel ergonomically comfortable.

Holding it under my arm/against my side feels better, and holding it nestled in front of me feels OK too. I think it's not the right fit for me, overall, but I can see why it is such a desirable bag. It is beautifully constructed and the smooth leather feels really delightful.

I haven’t been into a shop for a while but do they still have an array of colours of minis? Online looks boring. My friend has a gorgeous metallic one but I feel like they don’t make it anymore

maybe your SA can help you source one. I didn‘t see any in the shop nor online lately, they do have other models in gold or silver. I also saw mini pouch in sequinned green That looked beautiful

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
I'm curious if anyone here has experience/ opinions on the Belt Chain Pouch Bag? It seems like this model had been discontinued, but some stores still have them in stock. I think it's kind of cute, so I was thinking maybe to get one while these are still available. I am hesitant though because I noticed that some bags kind of loose their attractiveness after they'd been discontinued, in a sense that they start looking outdated. I like the unusual shape of this belt bag, I don't own any other belt bags and all my bags except for the mini pouch (that I love and plan to add another color) are pretty standard Chanel, LV etc. and square, rectangular shapes. This one looks like a really fun bag to add. I don't expect to wear it very often, but it's nice to have one fun bag for the right mood.
What do you all think? Any thoughts are highly appreciated. Thanks!
