Clarification on the Stam...
- Thread starter Kellybag
- Start date
Yea, I'm not feeling the canvas lining. That's why I haven't bought anymore stams. I returned the baby one I bought because that canvas is nasty looking IMO.
Yep, the lining will be canvas. IMO, the suede was so much nicer. I have a putty Stam and it is the only one I will own.
Yea, my putty stam is going to be my only one I think. At least my only one while the current styles are in place. The leather even seems different on the new f/w ones.
Thank you all.
I was thinking of purchasing one, but I truly don't like the linignmuch now. It may help the bag be a bit lighter, but it cheapens the bag. Suede is just so much more lovely.
Does anyone know the reason they switched? I wonder if it was to cut costs a bit.

The official word from MJ was that they did it to make the bag lighter, but I personally don't find it feels significantly lighter when carried. I have both and they feel the same. But oddly, I actually prefer the canvas (with the exception of the Putty, only because I love the color of the blue suede) - the canvas is easier to keep clean and it doesn't pick up lint as much either.
You can still find a few bags with suede if you search a little though.
Do you like bags from Soft Calf Collection line (Blake, Venetia, Multipocket, Sporty Tote, Flap Satchel, Sling, Amy Hobo, Bleecker, Zip Clutch, etc)? This line will continue to have suede linings.
Quilted Frame Collection line (Stam, Hobo Stam, E/W Stam, Baby Stam, etc) have canvas lining & gold hardware now.

oops i posted under the wrong thread. sorry... im pretty new to this. but for all you avid MJ lovers-- can i ask a couple of questions?
OK im just wondering for those with the older MJ stam (fall 05??? not sure)... what color is the suede of your zippered pockets? is your hardware brass?
