More Rebecca Minkoff Bag Feedback?

[tenmosquito]

Hey dudes,

I love love love the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag and I decided to get the regular one (not mini).
I wanted to ask a few questions (because we don't have these bags here so I can't really do any research myself).
- how does the bag hold up? craftsmanship, etc
- how's the leather? is it soft? is it those soft soft leather? or does it have some stiffness in it? Does it spot if lets say I take it out and it rains?
- WEIGHT - is it heavy? I have had bad experiences with buying beautifful bags but never able to use them cuz they are SO HEAVY after I put things in them - is the bag heavy? especially after you put your things into them?
- Any other feedback would be nice..

Thanks in advance!

No, it's not heavy. The leather is very soft. If you sit it on the ground with nothing in it, it will slouch quite a bit. If you get the basketweave version, the basketweave leather is a little more sturdy.
I've taken mine out in the rain, no spots.
The craftsmanship is okay., I have the first edition royal blue with basketweave version. so maybe things have been fixed.
I think my only real complaint about this bag is the handle drop could be a smidge longer, and the hardware tarnishes a little, but I think this problem is corrected on the newer bags. Also they now come with a dustbag.

I guess that's where the 200 dollar markup came from.

Overall, it's a great bag... I can't wait to break mine out this year.
