Premier Flirt: Mini, S or M, which one to choose?
The Mini is worn crossbody on a non-adjustable chain, for the essentials of an evening. The S is the light everyday bucket: adjustable, removable leather strap, one inside zipped pocket, one outside pocket. The M adds volume and hand or shoulder carry for a full day. If you hesitate between two sizes, start from what you carry every day: the S covers most needs, the M when a tablet or a pouch comes along.

Who this guide is for
For you who have chosen the Premier Flirt bucket silhouette, in grained leather, and who must decide between the three sizes of the model. All three come in black and camel; the S and the M offer further colours depending on the season. The variants compared here are those published on lancel.com at the verification date.
The criteria that matter
- Carry. The Mini comes with a chain and leather strap, worn crossbody, non-adjustable and non-removable. The S has an adjustable, removable leather strap. The M is carried by hand or on the shoulder according to its sheet, with an adjustable, removable strap.
- Dimensions stated by the Maison. Mini: 11 x 19 x 7 cm. S: 21.5 x 20.5 x 13.5 cm. M: 31 x 28 x 15.5 cm for black and camel, 30.5 x 29 x 17 cm for the other colours. The three figures read width x height x depth, in the order published by the Maison.
- Registered net weight. 0.72 kg for the Mini, 0.50 kg for the S, 0.70 kg for the M. Yes, the Mini weighs more than the S on the sheet. Its chain is not removable; the Maison does not state what the registered weight includes, and we did not weigh the bags.
- Storage. S: one inside zipped pocket and one outside pocket. M: one outside pocket. Mini: no pocket stated.
Mini, S, M: the comparison in words
The Mini is an evening or outing bag: drawstring closed by a leather and metal tassel, textile lining, chain strap worn crossbody. It has no pocket and its chain does not come off. It is chosen for the silhouette, not for capacity.
The S is the everyday format: enough room for a wallet, a phone, keys and a small case, with an inside zipped pocket for what must stay put. Its leather strap adjusts and comes off; red grosgrain lining; removable L charm; made in Italy.
The M keeps the codes of the S in a larger size: hand or shoulder carry, outside pocket, removable L charm, red grosgrain lining. It takes a full day, provided you accept a bag that is more present on the shoulder.
The trade-offs
- The Mini is not lighter than the S on the sheet, and its chain does not come off: you gain in look, not in comfort.
- The S has no handle stated; it is worn on the strap.
- The M takes room under an arm and the dimensions vary slightly by colour: check the sheet of the chosen colour.
- The Mini's drawstring is not a secured closure in the sense of a zip; for the S and the M, the sheet does not describe the closure. What matters to you goes in the inside zipped pocket of the S.
Who should choose something else
If you want a zipped closure and several pockets within the same line, the Premier Flirt S multipocket crossbody offers a zip, two outside zipped pockets and an adjustable strap. If you are after a rigid mini in precious materials, the mini rigid bucket in python and smooth leather exists in limited quantity. If weight is your first criterion, see our guide to leather bags under 600 g.
