I agree. The quality is great and they were flying off the shelf in the Chanel in NM. I got the larger size in gray and love it. Because it is lighter gray, I'm saving from spring/warmer weather

I bought the smallest size in pink and absolutely love it! It holds more than a mini, is structured so it will maintain its shape and can have its chain worn double strap because it has 4 grommets. It's an awesome little bag!

I actually went in to NM trying to buy a small/med navy, but ended up with a large grey because the large looked more proportional on me at 5’8” , and the only color choice was either the grey or dark beige. DH the enabler said I should just grab the grey while it’s in front of us instead of waiting for the navy.
Upon retrospect, I think he was in it for the cookies [emoji6]
Also, because I have major back problems, the weight of a bag is a major concern for me. Even the large is pretty light weight for me to carry. I have carried it as a shoulder bag both ways—long chain and doubling the chain. I did not like the large size as a crossbody though—just looked odd to me. Very happy with this bag’s functionality and color.

Saw the ivory/off-white and grey in boutique store today, the stitching appears too prominent on the ivory in person...
Got the grey in medium size instead.
It is actually darker than in the photo, but still love it

I was lucky enough to hunt down a light gray in the small size. It will ship out tomorrow, and I should receive it Tue or Wed at the latest. I’m so excited! This shade is gorgeous, and I like how the bag gives off a more casual vibe—which is definitely more in line with my lifestyle. 
Are they hard to find? I think I like the small, and I have not had a chance to go to my boutique to see if they got it or not.
They've been really popular but if your boutique doesn't have one, your SA could probably order one in for you. I like the small size the best too!
I have the grey and love your coral pink! Did you get that from Chanel boutique?
I received my small gray urban companion today. I love many things about it, but I’m trying to decide whether to keep it or return it. I love the size—it definitely holds more than my rectangular mini. I love that it looks more casual, and could be more of an everyday bag. I love how I can double it up and wear it as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody. I’m not thrilled with the size/feel of the chain—it’s just so thin. Also not thrilled with the cloth interior. I’m just wondering if there is another bag near this price point that would also offer the size, variety of wear (with strap) etc? What do you guys think? The color is hard to capture, so I took a few in different lighting. Thanks!
I know I'm a bit late to reply to you, but I have this exact bag and absolutely love it!! Did you end up keeping yours?
I bought this bag in Paris this April in black in the small size. The chain is as thin as the chain on wocs, but imho it makes the bag look more elegant when worn crossbody. I love this bag because it looks like the mini square, but the chain length is long enough for crossbody wear. I’m 5’4”
