Please help me join the RM club!!!

you should be able to use the code grechen for 20% off at lunaboston or you can call/email label360 and they'll call RM directly for something you are looking for. label360 honored the 30% off code for me today.

does anyone know if funkylala ever has codes? they have a nice RM collection!

Never mind..found it! Toutie30.

Thanks for the heads up! I will call them tomorrow. Can they really order whatever color you want?

I would not get the elephant . . . I only like the silver hardware too (which can be difficult to find). I bought and returned an elephant to lunaboston awhile back. The leather is REALLY stiff and it is the type of leather that scratches really easily and looked like it may be predisposed to water spots. I LOVED the color, as it truly went with everything and was very unique, but the leather was not for me.

Thanks for the info...too bad because it looks like such a great, neutral color. Saw that you have a MAM in Espresso...is it silver hardware (and not glazed)? How do you like it?

[bondgirl_77]

iluvhandbags --- Ignore my previous post, was having a blonde moment...I looked at the pics of your silver hardware, non-glazed espresso about 15 mins ago on this same thread! Sorry. But am interested in your thoughts on espresso vs. dark grey vs. glazed almond (I really want silver hardware).

they can order it as long a RM has it 'cause label360 gets it from her directly. i had to wait about a day but their CS is super nice. i believe the code she used is money30 'cause that's what it says on the receipt they emailed me. just let them know once they call you back once they found the purse you're looking for that you want to use the code and they'll do it for you. she would even search for the best one. you should send them an email on their live chat thingy on their website.

fyi - if you're looking for mam, there's no more dark grey one.

i've ordered from label360-- they have the best customer service. before xmas i used toutie36 for 36% off. i called them on the phone and did a special order because the color i wanted (sage mam) was not available on their website.

As an aside, I had a flatmate many years ago called Rebecca. I always called her "Back Seat Becky" lol

FunkyLaLa.com has a black basket weave on sale, and a black MAM without studs.

i just got my mam in wine...the color is gorgeous and the leather is tdf...i am a silver hardware person and the hardware on this is gold...i have a call in to lunaboston to see if there are any rm mams with silver hardware and thanks to the feedback here, it won't be in elephant because i am SO hard on my bags...if there are no mams with silver hardware to be found, then i am going to keep this one because the leather is amazing!!! thoughts anyone?

[GUNG]

^UH!

My thought: DO NOT LET GO OF THE WINE MAM! DO NOT LET GO OF THE WINE MAM!

[bleujey]

hey songofthesea!

i know exactly what you are talking about interms of the wine color... i've had my wine matinee for a month of so and it's gold hardware but I LOVE silver hardware!!

in fact, I am usually an anti-gold individual! but the wine color is TDF and I don't even like the color red like i've mention somewhere before. I get tons of compliments on the color all the time and asking where I got this gorgeous bag? i think you should keep it because the leather is so yummy and smooshy... it will only get better with time too. Also another thought is that siince the color is great i've been able to over look the gold hardware-

to comment on the silver hardware bags... and to touch on bondgirl's inquiry... about the leathers w/silver hdware... most of them I have seen IRL and they are all MA. they do come in MAM but it is so hard to find now. you reallly have to search eBay. at one pt i really really wanted the dk grey MAM. i think that color and leather is TDF!!! it goes with everything and the silver hdware with it looks so amazing!! just absolutely gorgeous!! the espresso is a very smooshy, buttery, super soft leather for the price of the bag itself. it has almost a soft cotton suede kind of texture to it... the color is nice it's rich but quite a dark brwn. the glazed almond is RM cognac color IMO. it's nice too i actually have a MA and a nikki in glazed almond and love both of them but haven't use them yet. altho the glazed almond looks really shiny... (er? hence glazed) but yah!

ok i'll end my rantz now... hope that helped
