MCM (Mode Creation Munich) is making a comeback. The renowned European luxury brand has taken major strides recently in the accessories market. Our take on it all: Bravo. We are really digging what MCM is doing. Quality, luxury, and craftsmanship goes a long way in a handbag. Best part is the price point for most MCM bags stays on the affordable end of the spectrum.

Take the MCM Notte Large Leather Hobo for example. The leather is exceptional in the soft shape while the double chain-link strap gives an edgy and current touch. What is not to like about this bag? As far as classic black bags go, this is an ideal buy. The inside is lined in suede and there is a zipper and two open pockets. Dimensions are 15″W X 10″H X 5″D.

While I have never seen an MCM bag in person, this week that will change. There is a MCM store in our hotel in NYC that we are planning on stopping by to see the bags in person. Once we get to touch the bags and see the quality for ourselves, we will report back with more information. Buy this MCM hobo via Saks for an affordable $925.

Eh, it's okay at best.

karmenzsofia · Oct 20th, 2009, 02:34 PM

Yeah, I think it's OK, and not having seen it in person, it's hard to tell if the quality is worth $1K.

aliysiah · Oct 20th, 2009, 04:17 PM

Pretty!

I like it, but it looks MJ-ish to me.

M_Butterfly · Oct 20th, 2009, 04:48 PM

I don't know. I find the strap way too long. It is OK I guess!!

LV-PRADAfanatic · Oct 20th, 2009, 05:14 PM

wonder how the bag will hold the shape if bag is heavy

It is just okay to me. If I am going to spend $925 on a bag, I wouldn't spend on this one though.

I totally agree with you!
Nevertheless.. I think it's still pricey

Well, I think while they're in "comeback" mode, they need to keep prices at a more reasonable level.
Once they enter the iconic realm, they can charge the big bucks.
So, too pricey IMHO.
