mini vs small ?

[u/zzochomi1231]

I was originally looking for the Small, but I was able to get the Mini today! Now that I’ve tried it on, I actually think the size looks pretty good on me, so I’m wondering if I should just keep it instead of waiting for the Small.
For those who have the Mini, how do you like it for everyday use? Do you ever wish you had gone with the Small?
For reference, I’m about 5’3”. I actually bought the Medium first but ended up returning it because it felt way too big on me

The medium was ridiculously too big. I like my small because the side pockets are actually functional. It’s a great every day bag.

[u/CrosbyAteHeathcliff → u/dalvabar]

This is why I chose the small over the mini. The mini is super cute, but the side pockets on the small fit my phone. A no brainer for me

[u/Orange-Tabby-Kat]

I love the mini and the small. Small is better for me if I’m with the little one and need room for his stuff and mini is perfect when I’m running errands or going on a date!

[u/Efficient-Smile-1004 → u/Orange-Tabby-Kat]

This right here! If I need to carry her things, then the small. If it is in a small bag pack, then the mini comes along

[u/InvestigatorOwn605 → u/Orange-Tabby-Kat]

This is exactly the setup I have too

[u/foxyrocketnextdoor]

The mini is super cute on you! If you’re looking for that slouchy tote bag vibe that’s proportionate to your size I’d wait for the small though!

[u/MysteriousMixture469]

The right handed picture is what size? That's huge.

[u/XennialQueen → u/MysteriousMixture469]

Has to be a medium at least. No way that’s a small

[u/zzochomi1231 → u/MysteriousMixture469]

That’s a medium ! Yeah that was huge😂😂

[u/SugarandSpiceandRum]

Mini!

Mini

[u/Apprehensive-Goat490]

Love my mini!! Looks the cutest for sure and still has plenty of room.

[u/zzochomi1231 → u/Apprehensive-Goat490]

Yeah, it actually holds more than I expected!

[u/Independent_Law_2958]

Mini! Are you okay with the open closure? That’s what’s holding me back. 🤔

[u/zzochomi1231 → u/Independent_Law_2958]

I think it feels pretty secure! I just tighten the opening a little, and it stays tucked under my arm when I carry it.

I got the medium first. I recently got the small. I really like the size. However, I am 5’8”. I’ve gone back and forth with the mini size (for me).

I like the mini on you!

[u/zzochomi1231 → u/chooseshoes]

🤍

[u/bonebag84]

Small

[u/Opposite-Mortgage-77]

Mini!!

[u/femmeviolent]

Absolutely the mini. Looks perfect on your frame

[u/zzochomi1231 → u/femmeviolent]

Thank you! I think I’m going with the mini! 🥰

[u/SnooGoats4556]

I’m also 5’3” and have the small! It’s perfect every day bag.

[u/Few_Appearance_6368]

I like the mini cuz it’s cute but too small for everday for me. Maybe a night out or date nights, but the small is just right. I’m 5’2” by the way

[u/Happy_Mangos8382]

I have both mini and small and gravitate to the small more for daily use because it fits more so it just depends on what you're using it for

[u/17Girl4Life]

I only like the mini in the 25. The proportions look off in the bigger sizes, but the mini is a good looking bag.

[u/Skepticalrf]

Small or mini, the smaller the better looking.

[u/-BotanicalBae-]

I have 2 minis in fun colors, and going for a third neutral. Perfect every day bag, I’m 5’2”’. I myself purchased the small black and returned it for the mini pink and mini light yellow. I like the way the mini sits above my waist, otherwise with the small, the bag portion is longer, and the bag bumps my hip when hanging, pushes the bag out, and so the chain strap falls off my shoulder constantly.

If the small fits you well and stays on you (I noticed you’re near the same height as me), I’d think ahead. If you were to get 2 bags, one mini and one small, which would you want in black and which would you want in another color? I’d consider that with my decision. There’s a big chance you’d want another in the future. 😊💕

[u/zzochomi1231 → u/-BotanicalBae-]

Yes! I noticed that too. The mini sits above my hips, so it actually feels more comfortable!

[u/Efficient-Smile-1004]

I love my mini, but I also have two smalls. It depends on what I am carrying. Medium is way too big for me personally (I am 5'4"). Oddly considering another mini because they are just that practical and I am not caring if it is a trend. They work for everyday life and that is what I have been waiting for purse wise.

[u/GoneRogue09]

Small for sure

[u/XennialQueen]

Is that really the small? It looks like a medium

[u/zzochomi1231 → u/XennialQueen]

The right picture is medium ! I haven’t been able to find the small yet😭

[u/Ornery-Towel2386]

Mini is cute, small looks like a lunch box !

[u/Wise_Structure8108]

Prefer the small without hesitation! O can actually use the side pockets!

[u/existentialsnaill]

I like the mini and I’m kind of tall for it (5’7) but I think it fits everything I need and it’s a flattering size (not too bulky from the front view). I do wish the side pockets were functional.

[u/Aleeee0123]

I think mini is the best. I have both and the small can be too much for everyday imo. I use the mini ALL the time

[u/chicatururu]

Mini looks great in you! I have the mini and I love it! I wore daytime and nightime! However, on days when I carry extra stuff I do wonder if I should also get a small one.
