Valextra Mini Iside 1 Year Review - Mod Shots, Dimensions, What Fits!
-- --- Where to get a discount -- ---
You can often get this bag at 10%-15% off as a new customer on Net-a-Porter. They currently have 10% off the Black Mini Iside available to everyone! I'm so tempted...
You can also find discounts on Luisaviaroma and Farfetch. Keep in mind you do not need to wait for influencer codes. Farfetch always gives 10%-15% off to new customers.
I added this story at the end, but I realize most people don't watch until then. I did get denim transfer once when wearing it cross body with dark blue jeans. This was my fault. It came off with a little soap and a damp cloth. I've worn this on the shoulder since then with light blue jeans without any issues!
Note - I know the black bag uses the cream leather interior! I don't know if this is true for all Iside bags, but I think so! I love that it's easy to see inside.
There are no marks on this bag. One benefit of this treated leather is everything seems to wipe off!
Strap Drop Longest - 56cm
Strap Drop Shortest - 51cm
I'm 5'5 and typically a US dress size 4-6 if you want to compare where it falls on me.

What a gorgeous handbag. Such a lovely, modern take on a classic shape. I've been searching for a new bag to get myself, and this one really speaks to me. You gave a really good, detailed review. I may have to get this one :D

Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful. I love this bag, and I've even considered getting a second one in a dark color. Good luck in your search! 😊
If you've seen my videos before, you might notice that the lighting is different. This was filmed at night with the lights on to show the true colors of the bag. Natural light made the bag look bright white and the lighting kept going wonky every time I held the bag up! I would love to know if you have any suggestions for how I can make my reviews more helpful!
Thank you for sharing! I’m actually looking into the Iside in the medium size in the black, oyster or possibly another neutral color. The white is stunning as well. It’s hard to find reviews on this bag in any size so I really appreciate this!

Thanks for bringing attention to the Iside. It is my favourite bag. What I especially like is the strap attachment: so architectural and sophisticated with no clunky d-rings in sight. You didn’t mention that it is fully lined in goatskin leather. They’re like crisps - can’t stop at just 1🤪 I have multiples in both the mini and medium, and can’t recommend enough. Dress up, dress down. Perfect bag!

When I saw them listed on the real real I was super excited at first until I clicked on the listing. This video is from a year ago and I think it’s interesting that the bags in the real real are still in the same shape as they were a year ago. The handles were all misshapen and the leather was a beat up and dirty. 🥴 I was like omg lol.

my dream bag! could you speak a bit to the wear and tear after owning it for a few years? any concerns or things to look out for?
@traingirl.meghan
7 ай бұрын
I haven't had any issues with wear and tear, but I don't use it every week because it's white. If you're looking at light colors, avoid wearing it against dark denim. I had color transfer once because I wore it crossbody for only one hour, but I was able to get it off. I've seen secondhand ones online, and the handles are always wonky. I'm not sure how that happens because mine is in great shape. I would recommend storing it sitting flat on a shelf versus hanging in by the strap or handle on a hook. I hope you get your dream bag! I still highly recommend the brand😊
Thank you for this review. Im in the UK and havent seen this bag, it is lovely. Have you seen the Celine nano belt bag, I feel like you would love that. I have the cream and it is the easiest most durable, pretty bag I have. They have brought it out in lots of colours 💕

Thank you! I followed my friend's advice. I think it worked because it's treated leather and didn't have a long time to set. I used the tiniest amount of liquid soap and a damp cloth to get the blue mark out. When the color came off, I thoroughly patted it dry.

I only had denim transfer once because I wore it crossbody for hours against dark blue jeans. They were old jeans, and I had washed them countless times. I cleaned the bag as soon as I came home with a damp cloth and dish soap, and the color came off. Now I only wear it with light jeans, but I typically use it handheld.
Very few vides on this - thanks! 👍 How is the wear on the leather where the clasp rotates, it does not mark it? Lovely bag. Thanks!!

That's a great question! I hadn't thought of that. I don't have any signs of wear or marks where the clasp rotates. The clasp doesn't drag across the leather at all. It may help that mine is a treated, pebbled leather, and they do have smooth calfskin options. Those might be more prone to scratches. Thanks for watching! 😊

I've heard leather conditioner can take off stains, but I haven't tried it and I don't know if it would work on this treated leather. Sorry I can't be more helpful! I haven't had any transfer since that first time, and I only wear it with well-washed, light blue jeans now. Hope you enjoy your bag!!
