I've been searching and saving for this bag for ages now. I was in Paris in May and hadn't saved up enough money to buy it, so I couldn't buy it while I was there. I'm so glad I waited, though! I found this bag in Vancouver at a store called Bacci's.
Since I live in Toronto and couldn't see the bag in person, I had the sales associate email me a picture of the bag so I could see what the leather and colour were like before I purchased the bag. As soon as I got the email, I called my sales associate back right away and bought the bag!
The bag was shipped to me expedited and took about five days to get here. I'll be posting an unboxing video shortly :)
This is the Céline Mini Luggage in Caramel. The leather is called Baby Calfskin and has a grain to it and a bit of a shine as well.

The bag is so lovely. I've heard people complain that the Mini is too heavy, which I find is not the case, since I lug around a Zara Office City bag all day long for school, filled with a laptop and notebooks and water bottles and plenty of other things (that bag usually weighs about 10-15 lbs every day). I've also heard people complain that the bag is too huge, and I also have to disagree. I'm 5'3" and I don't feel like the bag is too big or overpowering at all.
The leather is amazing quality and I'm so thrilled to finally own a Céline!
