Hi, white is the prettiest version of Mina tote, wonderful choice 🤍 I totally agree about Alaïa ❤️ Or maybe it is just a less visible brand on social media, but I think it’s valued by many who are into fashion but don’t have a logomania
This probably is the best red bag I've seen in a while. It's quite classy and unique; "if you know, you know" which I'm all about. I'm planning to get this in black and white.
Hi Stacey! I completely agree, it’s really unique and classy. Black and white are both gorgeous 🤍 But give it a bit of a thought, if you love it so much to have in two colors:)
Very welcome, GiGi, I’m glad that this review was useful ❤️ Oh I totally agree, the white one is a perfection! If I didn’t have a similar size white handbag I’d buy this one in white 🤍
I’m so glad you found value in my review 🫶 Black one will be so versatile. Mmm, Valextra is a georgeous bag, so well designed and classy! When my only blue bag becomes too old I can see myself buying a baby blue Valextra.
Hi Jamie! Glad it was useful 🫶 I’ve seen the mint one (not live though) and it looks perfect for summer. I’ve never seen sales for these totes, but that’s a great opportunity to get one for a better price if you plannes to get one!
Hi lovely, you’re so welcome 💜 I’ve been wearing this bag approx. a 1-2 times each month but am quite sure that I would have been wearing it more often if it was white. I’m even considering getting it in white as well, since I really like both this design and functionality. Good luck deciding what works best for you!
@@sarathatcher3349 it still looks very good, as new. I’d say it is worth the money if the design & functionality of this bag is what you’d really enjoy wearing, if it fits the use cases you are thinking of. Quality is really good but if I had to choose a bag purely based on how the leather feels I’d prefer leather of bags from other brands. I’d recommend to ”touch” this bag live before deciding:) I mean, leather is great but it has somewhat hard surface, not subtle/soft.
Hi! Well, there’s always that risk with white bags, be it this or another one:) Haven’t seen this bag in light pink but of course it could be an alternative!
I have similar style as bucket bag in balck with studs & mini mina bag in white. I love this design, now i’m considering size 25🥰 I’m wondering could you find any other shoulder strap that would fit into tiny loops? I don’t like thin shoulder strap that comes with the bag, but i wasn’t able to find a replacement☹️
Hi lovely 💜 Oh, the white Minna is so nice in all sizes! 25 is a perfect mid-way from small to bigger bag I’d say. As for the shoulder strap loops they are tiny indeed. I have one more bag with similar ones so it would work to interchange their straps. But I personally haven’t considered or searched for any other strap for this bag so have nothing to recommend.
Hi lovely, glad you liked it ❤️ Yes I purchased it from Alaia but it was quite some time ago so can be sold out… Hope you find it in this or other colour that you like!
Hi dear! Yes it is red (laquer red I think they call it). Could be that not all colours are available at the moment, it’s been a while since I bought it and the availability, colour options change with time…
Hi Mary! Beautiful indeed ❤️ The one in this size (25) doesn’t really work as a shoulder bag, at least not to me:) I could squeeze it onto my shoulder but it’s too forced and it’s not possible to move then. But the attachable shoulder strap is really good and it’s adjustable.
Hi Sabrina! No, there are two smaller sizes than this. Namely, the bag in video is Mina 25, but there is a 20 version and even a micro. I personally think 25 is the best looking version and it isn’t big. At least not for my height (180 cm) 😊
Thanks for the review! I’m getting it in white. Alaia is so underrated. I don’t know why they aren’t more popular. ❤

Thank you for doing this video! I’m planning to get the same bag but in white. I love the super feminine, low-key luxury feel this gives off ❤

I have worked in Alaia Dubai mall .is an amazing brand I will always want to have one
Lovely to hear 💜 I adore Alaïa as well!
Thank you for this review. This is a beautiful bag. I am going to purchase it in black. My only red bag is a Valextra micro.
I’m so glad you found value in my review 🫶 Black one will be so versatile. Mmm, Valextra is a georgeous bag, so well designed and classy! When my only blue bag becomes too old I can see myself buying a baby blue Valextra.
Thank you for the review, just found this on sale at NM in the beautiful mint color. Very excited to see it in person.

@@lilac.moonlight Right! Neiman Marcus is having a designer sale right now. Picked it up for $1200 for the size 20! 😳
@@JamieReviewsStuff awesome!! 🎯
It’s beautiful but I cannot get over the fact that it has no lining inside and stuff inside the bag is quite visible.
Yes… But it’s part of the design:) I live in a place where I feel safe walking with it:)
She’s beautiful!
Thank you lovely ❤️ Yesss, true 🥰
Thank you for the review! I am considering buying the Mina 25 in white. How has your bag help up since you bought it? Have you used it much?

Thank you for your answer. Does your bag still look good after using it? Does it look like it’s worth the money you paid?

I think white might be looking bad faster getting visible scratches etc
Maybe nude pink can be an alternative.

Great video! I can't find the Le Mina 25 in this red. Did you buy it from Alaia direct? Thanks.
Hi lovely, glad you liked it ❤️ Yes I purchased it from Alaia but it was quite some time ago so can be sold out… Hope you find it in this or other colour that you like!
hey may i know the colour is correctly in a RED? because I've seen from the web for the wave shape just only had pink colour
Hi dear! Yes it is red (laquer red I think they call it). Could be that not all colours are available at the moment, it’s been a while since I bought it and the availability, colour options change with time…
Beautiful! Can you wear it as a shoulder bag (under your arm?)
Hi Mary! Beautiful indeed ❤️ The one in this size (25) doesn’t really work as a shoulder bag, at least not to me:) I could squeeze it onto my shoulder but it’s too forced and it’s not possible to move then. But the attachable shoulder strap is really good and it’s adjustable.
Thanks for your reply!
Is this the smallest size?
