Agreed! To me it has a very regal look, a little birkin-esque, but way cooler. The medium is pretty darn small, the mini is super small, but still larger than a Chanel rect mini. The medium, for me, functions the way all my Chanel old medium boys do, but can hold quite a bit more without looking bulky. The back side where the straps attach is flat, so it lays very well against you on the shoulder or cross body. Both straps are adustable. The front flap can be tucked in so you can carry as an open tote. AND I am surprised how easy it is to close with the medusa clasp.
I still have mostly all Chanel and DIOR but this one has made such a grand entrance, that I ordered another medium and a mini! See below...View attachment 3603221View attachment 3603222
Love your pics!!! I may pick this bag up this week. I want the black on black medium size. I feel like it's small enough to be light and big enough to carry all the basics.
