I thought that lining was OS. I had a MAM with studs like that but not that lining. I bought it new. Maybe around 2010.
anyway bag looks great on you and a nice departure from your larger bags
The blue/white lining came about when production went to China....some of the first blue/white linings had the old nameplate inside and the newer ones had the raised name plate inside. I think it was prior to 2010.....
I think @Shelby33 said that if it doesn't have a "made in china" tag then it's still from the US...?
Right, there was a lot of back and forth about it, one girl claimed the blue/white lining was only available at the factory in China, but bags came out with the tag and without. To me, no tag means made in the US.
Also a lot of the girls thought that their MIC bags were of better quality as far as stitching went, it was neater and straighter.
Uniform, straight stitching is usually a sign of machine-made. If there is some slight variation in stitching (but not enough to draw the eye to it from afar) then it might be handmade. Although I doubt made in US bags were handmade. What about the dash interior? Was that before or after the move to China?
Dash came after, however, there were some special bags that were made in NY with the dash lining around... 2010? They may have had rose gold HW but there's not a lot written about them.
Yes because if it's made here, it doesn't need a "made in" tag. That's my understanding anyway.
What color leather? I think there's a brown one somewhere with RG HW.The coveted rose gold....still on the hunt for a MAM!!
Searching for the black with rose gold. I’ve come across them in the past few years but for some reason never actually bought one. I debate between the MAM and re-buying a Rocco....I loved that bag even though it was so dang heavy!
I've had a few Rocco's (purchased 2nd hand)....love the look, hate the weight! The prettiest one I had was a powder blue....wish I kept that one!!
