Waaaah!!! i now want the MMS in glossy grey!!! The pics look fabulous!!!! I must be good and wait until the new year, though - esp. since I just got a bespoke!

TG - to me, both glossy grey bags look just as slouchy as the others...I would imagine it would break in well like the others??

Hi everyone,

Here are a couple of pics of my MMS petrol midi...clifene always has the best modeling pics so I didn't even bother on that front!

The dark grey glossy isn't stiff at all! Its quite thin and very supple, so it smooshes and drapes nicely from the moment you first get it. The glossy finish is quite nice and practically impervious to wear (doesn't scartch or mark up nearly as easily as the other glossy leathers). My MMS still looks new!

Definately agree! My grey is now "slouching" nicely but yet seems very durable.

Wow!! Loving all the MMS pics, and I love the way it gets all slouchy, esp. in circoits collection!

Thought I post a few more of my MMS Midi which I've been wearing since I got her!

Thanks Cilifene! I really love the wide opening of the bag showing loads of fuchsia off! It just looks fantastic with the gold *sigh*!!

And some modeling pics. I love how the shape is quite flat against the body but the interior is still so spacious.

Wow, citychris, you really rock that bag!! In your previous pics it didn't look half as glam as it does on you, and for the record I totally agree about the gold hardware with the petrol

Lovely bags!

Doesn't anyone have a modeling pic with the messengerstrap?
It would be nice to see how this style wear?

Yes, this is the midi. Thanks for your compliments!

bonniekir - Sorry I don't have pics. but it looks awful with the messenger strap. It just doesn't work at all with this style -- it kind of flops at an odd angle and doesn't hold it's shape.

I just realized that I happen to have a pic. of grey glossy mms midi worn messenger style (I returned the bag because I didn't like the color or leather). I think the shape of the bag just isn't conducive to being worn this way. This is fine with me because I never intended to use it for this purpose. IMO there are definitely other BE styles that work much better with messenger straps. I enjoy carrying my LM midi cross-body at times and believe the TME and TME midi also work well that way.
