My bag arrived today and I have to say I adore it.

I took some comparison pictures with my medium Muse 2, so you can get an idea of size, outside and inside. If there is a part of the bag that I didn't get and you want a picture, let me know and I'll try and get it.

comparison of size

comparison of opening under flap

there are no pockets in the main interior of the bag, so you will have to use this pocket.

Zipper compartment on back of bag

How small is the opening to the main interior area of the bag??? Well, I tried putting my VIP purse insert ( 9 inches ) directly in and it won't go in without angling the insert.

However, it is possible to pull it directly out with a little finesse.

I am so 100% keeping this bag. I love the shape, the leather, the weight, the feel in my hand and on my shoulder.

I did mention in another thread that I do see 2 issues that may cause me problems, but I am throwing caution to the wind (it's love

you know). The narrow opening to the interior and the clasp may cause me some angst later. I've played around with them both and think I can live with them, but you know how the early stages of love are.....

She is gorgeous S! I so would love to have that bag, but I better not press my luck after my Muse II and Prada croc. Congrats!!!!

Wow, I'm normally not a flap girl, but this is so pretty! Very classic looking - and the leather looks delish! Congrats!

Thanks so much for all the detailed pics and description. It really is a beauty; so elegant and classic. Definitely a black bag you can use forever. Congrats again!

Thanks for the photo & review. I am definitely getting it. Beautiful!

May I ask where you got your purse liner & does it come in a slightly smaller size that might fit more easily?

elainerkitty · Sep 18th, 2009, 02:43 AM

Thanks for the great 'practical' pics!! You have inspired me to take a look at the bag again. Big congrats.

That one is a VIP liner. I have this one by VIP and a couple Chameleons (one of which is smaller than my VIP) and another one (can't remember what that one is). The VIP is by far the most expensive --$60. It only comes in one size. I do like it the best because it is nicer than all the others. You can get it at NM.

Chameleon has a website and they do have varied sizes. Purse to go is another one.

your comparison pics are really helpful and informative - thanks!

Thanks - I do have a few Purse To Go liners in a few sizes & colors - but like that the VIP one looks like the top closes.

Congrats, OP! I think I'm going to have to get that bag because I'm head over hill in love with it. I keep seeing it everywhere and now I must have it!

That's one thing I like about it. It has the red tabs on each side that can be pulled to close the drawstring top. It is made out of very nice materials.

alouette · Sep 18th, 2009, 03:58 PM

OH I just love it S! Smashing job, well done! I wish I could get one but I have no use for one atm. :( Can I borrow yours when you don't use it? LOL

Graciella · Sep 20th, 2009, 11:23 AM

It is out of this world! What a gorgeous, classic bag! May I ask what leather this is? Because I would just have to stop dreaming about it if it is lambskin...(too fragile for my lifestyle)
