Since I don't own either bags :sweatdrop:, here are the measurements for both from the brands' website:

RM MAM: 12.5" x 6" x 8" with a 6" drop
Botkier Howard St. Satchel: 14" x 6.75" x 7.5" with a 5.5" drop and a removable strap drop of 29.5" (GILT says 16" ... so I'm not sure which is right)

What I'm not sure about, is whether Botkier's measurements include the sag.

I personally love the cement. It's my favorite of all the other colors for the satchel. I think it looks the best with the silver h/w.

The only thing you might have to worry about is color transfer onto your bag.

im very scared about color transfer!!! i plan on wearing it into fall! i know my jeans will rub on it when i wear it w/ the shoulder strap! but i def love the color.. im so torn right now!

I don't own either, but checked it out at the SS. Since it's a lighter color, I think there would be a color transfer/keeping it clean issue.

I would have bought it in cement, but I didn't want to have to worry about it at all.

ok you've just re-affirmed my tohughts about it! i LOVE it too, but im afraid its gonna sit in its dust bag all the time for fear of being ruined! in gonna get the black so i can use it to death. my sidney hobo never sees daylight bc shes such delicate lambskin.. and i get sad shes always in her dust bag! im def gonna get black.. its just hard cuz im the ANTI - Black handbag girl!

I've been following your discussion and hope you are wrong about color tranfer. I had the cement in my cart, closed the page because I wasn't sure, then had another change of heart. When I logged back in again, the cement was still available and I had to do it. I LOVE the color and hope I don't have any problems!!

awww stacyg, dont regret your decision! its so beautiful! im just not very gentle with my handbags! im sure if u treat it well and use proper care you will be fine!

honestly i just dont have time and patience to care for my bags (sounds horrible i know) but @ the university i run around campus like a maniac and toss my bag everywhere. i will prob use it as a pillow when i study at the library or it will sit in the grass w/ me eating lunch out in the quads! i just cant risk spilling a lil of my smoothie on it. i can forsee things like that happening.. its like when u wear white and your super conscious and u end up getting tomato sauce all over u!

ReesesPieces -- you can also do what pigalle74 suggested if you absolutely love the cement.

the black isn't a bad choice though since it looks like you can rough handle it more compared to the cement.

j0ann - i do love it but its ok im happy w/ black! i really need more black bags anyway! i just bought three diff red bags at the RM NYC SS! and im waiting to buy a gray MAC so its ok! i also have a eggshell MAC and that thing looks like it went through WWII, like honestly i cant do that to another delicate lightly colored bag unless it was maybe another smaller clutch. if it was a satchel id be devasted!

LOL! my friend owns an eggshell mac and it's constantly getting dirty, but is such a nice color.

i, too, bought red at the RM SS ... only one though .. RUBY 3-zip mac :smile:

I don't really have light colored bags at all ... i just don't want to deal with maintenance :sweatdrop:
