It’s very very light and fits a lot. I had a candy arco tote (even smaller than the mini) but it had quality issues and switched it with the mini tote. I use it as my travel handbag because it’s so roomy ? It holds its shape when it’s handheld, it’s not slouchy like a puzzle bag from Loewe but it’s also moldable/not stiff!
Note - I use it open, never tie it.
