I've not seen many comments here regarding the PS1 Mini Messenger.
I'm guessing it's not very popular.

I'm tossing up on getting one and am thinking that it might be a more dressy alternative to the regular PS1 satchel and a more casual version of the structured flap bags like the Chanel 2.55 and Celine Box.
What do you think?
 
I think the mini messenger is great, and I know some here got it last year. I looked through Sien Antwerp sale pics (no bags for sale though) and one model carried the mini messenger: http://www.sien-antwerp.com/shop/sale/ I think it would be a great everyday bag and I agree it's a bit dresser than the satchel, or at least could be carried at all occasions.
 
I've been eyeing this one for a bit. I've never seen it IRL but I really like it I wish I could see it IRL before buying it. I'm curious how heavy it is with the chain shoulder strap.
 
I love the mini - I have it in tobacco suede. I adore the size of the L and M PS1, but it really bothers me that the straps cannot go crossbody on me (I'm 6ft tall). So it's really impacted my decision to purchase a larger PS1. But the mini is adorable, it's perfect for a night out to a restaurant, or bar. Out just running errands on the weekend. I tuck it into my gym bag and use just the pouch at work for lunches. I just pop a few items into an abbreviated wallet bc my every day wallet is too large for it. And the mini pouch has a strap that's long enough to knot AND still be used crossbody on me. And I ended up buying a regular Grape Mulberry Alexa last year over Christmas holiday for a larger crossbody satchel (that strap can go crossbody)- I love the Alexa and now between the pouch, my pouchette and the Alexa, I'm feeling pretty good :smile:
