Hi Loquita!

Congrats on your latest RM Mini B! You are putting together quite a collection of these bags.

Based on your pictures, I really thought this would be the bag that would bring me back to RM after avoiding the brand for 1 1/2 years. However, I checked out 3 of them today at Saks and didn't like any of them. I tried the Orange Haze, Burgundy, and a soft black (not the Black Haze). I didn't like the leather or the color of the Orange Haze and the Burgundy. The soft black one had nice leather and had a black and white lining that I prefer over the birds, but I didn't like the gold hardware. I guess I won't be getting this bag after all.

I also tried a Purple Haze Darling - loved the color, but wasn't crazy about the leather or the style of the bag.

Enjoy your bags!

Hey msterling!
Great to see you in RM Land!!!

Aw, I am sorry that this bag didn't work out for you...the haze leathers are definitely not everyone's thing (kind like the Becky Birds lining, lol), but they are amazing once they break in.

If you are still of a mind to consider the Mini B, you might want to hold out for the dark gray/gunmetal HW version that's coming in December. That is a fabulous leather, and I am willing to bet fat cash that it will not have the birdy lining.

My theory is that the Becky Birds lining (which is thin cloth) was used mostly for the haze and croc bags, which have much thicker leather...if you notice, the newer bags that have the traditional floral lining (which is a much thicker canvas material) are all done with thinner leathers.

But then again, I may just be to think this.

Hey there!!

Either the PH Mac OR the PH Mini B are fantastic choices...tho you will probably have an easier time finding the MAC at this point. I wore my PH MIni B for the very first time yesterday and today, and adore it. It looks fantastic against gray and black, which is what I wore to work.

I have been meaning to do this, m'dear...I'll take some shots this afternoon. I am working from home today and my hair is still wet.

(It takes forever to dry, and I stay away from the blowdryer. It is not my friend).

I am a vain wench indeed.
