    I am confused. Who in the world, could not see immediately that a mini bag would not fit a good many mobile phones. In fact, it does not even appear to be suitable for much more than a credit card, a key/remote and lipstick. That, in my opinion, is not an issue with the bag but with the person who bought it with the expectation that it would carry the same size and amount as the medium.

      What a great idea! I think Sophie's silver one is a bit overpowering. It would only go great with a very limited colour palette, and I'm thinking black, white and grey. And maybe only structured clothes. Jeans might be ok but the bag itself is an attention seeker.

    The mini lady dior can fit my big samsung phone (you need to put the phone horizontally), card holder, lipstick (also horizontally), hand sanitizer & earphone case comfortably, you can also put your sunglasses at the top of the flap if needed 😊
    I use it all the time & I got the black satin one so it can be quite versatile. The annoying part of the lady dior is actually the charms! Oh the sound it makes everytime I move 😅 I usually use it as a shoulder bag & I put my hand deliberately in front of the charms so people don't look at me weirdly.

    Good to know about these. Sad to see the Dior saddle has no lining! Ghastly for a bag that price! I love the Lady Dior and if I had one, I'd carry by handle and never crossbody, so good to know what happens if you crossbody. Also a little sad about that Valentino bag- I think it's a somewhat pretty bag but for the price probably best to avoid.

    I bought the Bottega Veneta Hobo Intrecciato several years ago. I cut the labels off recently to go on holiday but boy, is it awkward to use. The quality is superb, the colour is beautiful but it is difficult to access and the interior lining is so dark, it’s hard to see what’s inside ( most of my slg’s are dark) so I had to root around to find everything. It’s a work of art but the practicality loses points for me personally. Wish I had opted for a different style now but too late!

I also have another top handle Cherrywood BB, but the flap is annoying me now because its a patent/canvass combo and its stiff. Looks great but the patent flap is already showing creases after a year of use. There's just something about top handle bags. You can just grab the handle and your good to go, without the bag flapping about and spilling your stuff, and then set it down again effortlessly.

Many designer labels copy from each other, so if you want to convince yourself that premium labels are "original" I'd advice you to reconsider.

And generelly when people complain to see a certain bag everywhere, how do they know for sure it's an authentic one? They don't!

    Thanks for your insights, Sophie! I was thinking of getting a mini Lady Dior and had no idea it couldn't fit a phone vertically... but I also had no idea the crossbody strap on the bigger one would twist it! Now I'm feeling a little conflicted lol. I'm so glad I saw this video, I don't think I've seen any other videos that mention these little issues.

      Hello lovely Vanessa!! The mini is so cute but I do find it to be impractical 😔 I wouldn’t dissuade you from the medium size. If you’re likely to wear it crossbody most, then yes I’d say to skip it potentially. But if you’ll use the handles then I think it’s a great bag!😍xx

      I think it depends on what phone you have! I don't have as much of an issue with my mini LD, but I also have an Android. Would recommend trying the bag in store and seeing how your items will fit.
      (I also find that storing my phone horizontally on top of my other items works well, so it's easier to access)

      Hey Lily! Thanks for the tip, that's a good idea. Perhaps I can put the things I don't take out as often on the bottom and the put the phone on top! I think that should make it easier for small bags :)

    The problem with the Valentino, apart from the silly handle is that the design overall is just so very specific that you're limited to wearing something edgy and/or futuristic. Romantic won't cut. Florals, out of the question.
    It's very specific to a certain very structured style, it would go with black Japanese very stylised clothes. I would feel the the bag is wearing me rather than the other way around. It certainly is for a very limited market. Rock star indeed.

      Aww I love the handle on the valentino
      There was another CZcamsr who got hers in the nano size which I didn't even know Valentino made and it was completely covered in crystals, the entire bag was embellished not accented.. the smaller size and bedazzles made it a stunning evening/party micro bag.

    I always used shoulder bags for the last 20 years or so, but recently in the last year I have moved towards top handle because I noticed that shoulder bags gave me a backache. A shoulder bag that can be used cross body ( as a classic Chanel can be) can be ok but not if the bag is a medium or larger size. So here I am really loving top handle bags that have cross body straps. I like being able to hold a top handle in my hand and when I pick it up from the floor or a table. When I want to be hands feee and have the bag secure on my body when I am waking I love a cross body strap. So functionally a top handle is the best for me ergonomically. I am interested in the Lady Dior. I do not know whether to go for small or medium. The Coco handle is also a possibility. I am not in a rush to buy either of these. I know the Trendy CC is popular but I wonder if it is too thick in depth and too sporty looking. I am not sure about the metal plaque at the top although I do not think it is bad looking.

    According to a Bottega SA in my state, you can try rubbing wax paper along the zipper of the mini Jodie bag to make it glide open more easily. They actually had wax paper at the boutique to prep the bag and hand to customers who purchased the mini Jodie.

    Hello from Kansas City, MO! I really enjoy your videos & the ones like this where you are honest about design flaws, prices, etc are so helpful. I bought an LV Lock Me Tender bag that I loved, but ultimately had to return because it was "front pocket" heavy & would topple over every time sat it down. So frustrating to spend that kind of money on a bag & have it not function well. I do sell my bags on Vestiare or I sell directly to Fashionphile here in the US. I love that Chanel Business Affinity Bag - I've been hesitant to buy a classic flap because the prices are ridiculous but that bag is a nice alternative instead. I have a Chanel 19, so I think the Affinity would be better to add to my collection vs the classic since they're somewhat similar in style. I am heading to Switzerland end of August - do you have any luxury travel bags you prefer to use as carry on? I have a vintage Burberry Carry on that I'm currently using but would love to see your choices. Thanks for the great content!
