I am thinking of purchasing this handbag but I cannot find any reviews/modelling shots!. Do any of you lovely ladies own this bag? (the Black one especially) and if so, could you post some photos of it/modshots please; furthermore has anybody seen it in real life? What are your thoughts on this bag?!. :p

I saw it at Dillard's over the weekend. I was actually considering this bag along with the Selma messenger, but I wasn't impressed when I saw it. The suede looked and felt kind of cheap to me. I only saw the pomegranate. Maybe the black is nicer.

What is the inside like? I cannot really judge from the photos, and it is not sold in London either so I cannnot try it on! So I have to wait until I go to NYC this Summer; but I would like to be prepared. :D

Hi Amortentia! I just purchased this bag in Dark Khaki from Nordstrom (suede). I love it! I'm not usually a fan of Michael Kors bags but this one immediately caught my eye! The suede on mine in khaki feels very nice! Here are some detail pics and some quick mod shots ( for reference I'm 5'9"' about 127lbs). HTH!

Wow! it is absolutely divine! I am sooo buying this, but in Black :smile1:. What is the inside like? I can see from the photos that it is unlined, does the bag hold a lot? is it heavy? Thank you ever so much for posting and uploading.

You're welcome! The inside is unlined, suede just like the outside. It has two inside pockets, one on each side, all suede as well. The large middle pouch that snaps in is canvas with leather trim and has a zippered pocket as well. I just got this bag today so I can't tell you much about how it carries, but it fits well against the body, very comfortable. The bag itself is lightweight, with the only hardware being the 'Michael Kors' on the outside and a MK medallion which i tucked inside. It seems to hold a lot and is easy to organize with all the pockets. This bag is very relaxed and slouches (which I love!) but the inside pouch gives it a little structure. I really love the outside pockets on the sides of the bag! They're deep enough for putting your cell phone in without worrying! Its a great bag! Let me know if you have any more questions or need anymore pics!

What I am most worried about now is the inside getting spoiled because it is sude! :S
Could you take a picture of the bag upright when the inside pouch is removed, the pouch itself and how the inside looks when the pouch is removed please. Sorry for being a nuisance. :D

You're not a nuisance! I love helping people find bags that they will love! Here is a pic of the pouch itself

The bottom of the pouch is the same size as the bag when you spread it out. The pouch could be used as the lining of the bag, containing all of your belongings if you want. I think this is the purpose of the pouch. I just choose to keep a couple of things (wallet and keys) on the outside of the pouch to find them easier. The pouch can spread out to cover the entire inside or be used as a middle compartment. Hope that makes sense!

I agree! I like having the choice to snap it in or out. This bag is definitely 'inspired by' the Celine Cabas Phantom, but has some details that the Celine does not, like the pouch, tassels and two outside side pockets that I really like! Plus, the much lower price point is nice too! The suede in Dark Khaki is really nice. When I felt it I was thinking the price of this bag was going to be much more than it was!

The dark khaki is a gorgeous color. I saw this at Macy's today and couldn't stop touching the suede. Did you spray the bag before using it?
