i had the same dilemma and i've chosen the mini for 4 reasons:
1- the price difference is like 1000.
2- the size is just about the same.
3- I like the flap on mini better. Getting in and out is easier.
4- I dont like the chunky and heavy chain of the boy bag. Mini can be crossbody and so comfortable.(for me)
I would get the Mini first and then maybe a different color Boy bag in old medium size.

I would keep both [emoji846]
I would love to keep both, but I found it too similar in term of color and size so I have to decide to keep one! Thank you guys! Happy Easter to you!Keep both! [emoji7]
Yes, dear if I found a old medium, this thread may not exist because I will keep both! HahaI personally think the mini looks better! I find that boy bags looks better in medium size.. but then again it all comes down to preferences
Oh leather is so gorgeous, it is soft but very resilient. I am loving the leather!!! Hopefully, Chanel will continue using this leather in other colors and style!Both are nice but in my opinion for this season I like the combination of the the shiny bhw and leather on the boy
Good luck in your decision!
Thank you for your help! Hahaha so true that the bag should bring you joy while looking and using it. TBH, this is actually the first time I have to inspect every corner to find blemishes from a new bag, and it is not so thrilling!Both are beautiful but it sounds like you are leaning towards the mini. Be aware that both will show some wear, so keep the one that's out cannot stop looking at (and I don't mean looking for chips!) and smiling.
Hi dear,What did you decide? Did you let both go? Did you end up with something else or are you waiting?
(Cue suspenseful music).
Keep the mini. I have one and love it in this colour! I'm not a huge fan of the boy bags...I prefer the thinner strap and closure on the classic flaps.
Both a beautiful bags but I'm more of a classic fan, I'd say Mini HTHA month ago I started a thread asking you guys about which so black to get, and the bags are here finally after so much drama!!!
I initially wanted to purchase the old medium so black boy bag in grained lambskin, yet I decided to cancel the preorder cause it took too long and I was not happy with the SA that helped me.
Moved on forward, I found two beautiful bags recently after reaching out to different SAs.
They are so black boy bag in small size and so black mini rectangular. They both are divine, yet somehow I am thinking they are too similar in size. I don't don't which one that I should keep! Plus, I am so scare of the chirping hardware issue that has been arise lately with the boy bag. Please give me your thought! Thank you!
I love your mod shot! Happy Easter! I am definitely leaning over the mini rectangular. You are right, the chain of the boy is somehow dig into my shoulder and it is not as comfortable as the small chain of the mini!
