I've seen it IRL and it's a beautiful bag. The black is very nice if you're looking at net-a-porter. I don't remember how heavy it was as I was never seriously considering buying it. Too expensive then, not looking for a new purse now.
 
I have the Mahala and the Radiant by Choo,and the Mahala is definitely heavier than the Radiant. The Radiant is similar to the Ramona,so it has a lot of metal trim,so it's kind of odd that the Mahala is heavier.Maybe the metal trim on the Mahala is solid,or of different material.I get a lot of compliments on the Mahala-it's a very distinctive bag,one of my favorite. The Black Mahala is on sale at NAP!! Only place that I've seen it on sale.
 
I've seen it in person and its a beautiful bag. The only thing I don't like about it is the bottom is soooo wide. It makes it awkward to carry over the shoulder.

NAP has it on sale for about $1100.
