I recently just got the black with ballerina in the large bucket and love it!! I really want the brandy with either raw or avion inside or camello. I can't see them in person before I purchase so which one would y'all recommend? And also how does the brandy wear vs camello ? And do most brandy buckets come with scratches or imperfections of some sort more so than the camello? Lastly should I go for the mini since I have the large?
Thanks in advance[emoji2]

Brandy seems to have more imperfections than camello, but it is a beautiful color. I find cammello patinas the most. Both are great choices, whatever you decide. I personally prefer the coated interior vs. the raw.

Get the mini...I have a large cammello and a mini flamma. I actually like the size of the mini better and I'm 5'10 for reference. The mini isn't that small.............

I agree...great patina on the cammello!

I'd go with brandy myself. I am thinking of selling my cammello Azzurro because I prefer the brandy, I didn't like the cammello in person as much as I thought I would. To me it's not as nice as the pictures. Not to say it's not a nice colour, it's just not my preference anymore.

Not to mention I think I have bucket fatigue.. I have collected 8 buckets in total and I think I'm over them!! So I've decided to get rid of some now and just keep a few before I get too sick of them. Brandy is one I'll definitely be keeping.

You have an amazing collection by the sound of things ... have you posted a bag family shot?

I posted a pic of them all on one of the threads but I think the picture has since been deleted.

Here it is at the moment:



Not including the 8th which I just sent back. I also returned the two totes I had bought because I knew I wouldn't use them. I am planning to reduce the collection to about 4 this year.
They are all I had been buying and recent I bought 4 bags from other brands and was so excited to receive them because they were different for a change! It was then I realised I had gone overboard on the buckets.
Love the brandy but when I got it there was no real excitement because it wasn't really different to what I had.

Stunning collection! Which is your favourite?

When I received my first bucket (regular size saffiano leather black/flamma), I was also planning to get second one very soon. I was so sure to get a Rosa mini. But now I kinda decided to get the new mini lady. Nevertheless, a mini bucket is always on my mind. :)

If you feel that sometimes you don't need that much room from the large bucket, then get the mini. It depends on how much you want to carry. I prefer the mini in summer and the large in winter. As for colors, you really can't go wrong with either! Leather imperfections and scratches are to be expected in veg tanned leather so don't let those be key factors in choosing colors. Good luck! ;)

You have an amazing collection! Do you find black/royal or black/ballerina more versatile?

Both are different sizes. Black ballerina is mini mini and black royal is mini so I use the royal more since its bigger.
Mini mini is really only for use instead of a clutch going out for dinner.
