The way I remember how long Senreve has been around is that the brand is the same age as Millie, just reaching the 20-month mark. And in that time, Senreve has grown and expanded as rapidly as it seems Millie has (okay, Millie’s changes are more exciting for me because she is my true love, but bags are my other love). Though Senreve has expanded its offerings and added more bags to its lineup, my favorite bag is still the Maestra. After the original size debuted, Senreve released the Mini Maestra and recently added the Midi Maestra.
While the original Maestra is a great workhorse bag—perfect for work or as a carryall, and it also works as a diaper bag—it is on the larger side (I shared an in depth review of the original and largest size of the Senreve Maestra). You can see in my review of the bag that it is large against my body, and I am 5’11. When the Mini came, I fell for it. The same style that I knew and loved was scaled down into a smaller size and fit just enough. But I am at a stage in my life where I always need to carry a bit more, and I like my bag being just right—the right size to be both compact and spacious. Enter the Midi. This is the size I LOVE. It is right for me at this stage right now, where I carry less for Millie than I used to have to, and it’s light and has the same style I adore.
Sometimes the best way to explain the size of a bag is to compare it to an item we all know and love. Vlad goes through more LaCroix waters in a day than many people I know, and since LaCroix waters seem to be all the rage, we figured this was the best way to show the size of the different bags.

This is actually a pretty brilliant way to show bag size. 🙂 I just noticed their Midi size on Instagram and was wondering how much smaller it was from their original one – thanks!
I read a comment on here when these bags were first showcased that described the front of the bag in rather phallic terms and now I cannot unsee. Can’t buy for that reason alone.
Now that you pointed it out, I can definitely detect it. It wouldn’t be a no go zone for me though since it’s so functional.
Exactly! Now every time I see this bag this GIF plays in my head:
Damn.
That’s exactly what they look like. I’m not going near these.
I don’t know what anyone is talking about, I love this bag! I have the mini and now want to add the midi too Megs
I have the regular size Maestra for work and it’s amazing. Fits my laptop and work papers but doesn’t look too much like a work bag!
Such dirty minds. I see the face of an owl or bird.
I have the Mini already (and love it) but now I think I need the Midi! These size comparisons are amazing!!
Anyone else think these are hideous bags that are given to bloggers who are paid to somehow make them look normal to wear? Not. A. Fan.

I was really interested in this bag, until I saw that they really push to influencers to get them to feature this bag on their Youtube channels, and every single one of their “reviews” just seem super fake. Also I have the Celine belt bag and this reminds me so much of that.
