Default Matte Mandarin Enchant Me is finally here!
I ordered the matte mandarin EM right after ordering a matte tan EM, both in the regular/large size. I ended up dumping the tan EM the day after it arrived because it was too small. I ordered it again in the oversize version.

So I was pretty worried about this bag. I was bummed a bit, because I did so not want to dump yet another bag for size problems. Yay for me, because in orange, this bad boy looks plenty big on my Amazonian frame (6 ft, not skinny).

I've still up-sized all other EM orders to the oversize version (which is 2" wider at the base), but I'm soooo incredibly happy with this bag. This one won't be leaving my collection anytime soon.

Anyway, for those of you considering a mandarin matte BEC order, I can highly recommend it. The leather is BEAUTIFUL, and the color is outstanding.
