I purchased a "NWT" saffiano mini bucket black/flamma and asked if the seller still have the Barneys tag. Seller said no, but still have all other tags. I do believe it's authentic, but I'm skeptical if it's really "brand new" because it seems like Barneys always have their tags on with a plastic string.. like picture attached.

Update: Seller found the Barneys tag inside the bag, but it's not "tagged" like the picture above. I haven't receive the bag yet. Also it's saffiano so it's hard to tell if it was ever used.

How are you liking the rose saffiano? That's what I ordered and I'm not sure about it (still waiting for it).

Yes, I'm actually really liking the rosa saffiano. The color is gorgeous - very pale pink and basically a neutral. The saffiano seems really tough and strong but feels a little bit "plastic-y". Both bags make noise when you open and close it. Not sure if that goes away after some use. Today I'm leaning towards keeping the rosa saffiano simply because I'm not sure if I can handle the scratches and upkeep for the camello.

The noise went away for my saffiano bucket. My brandy mini lady gets random scratches. I spot condition the scratches with leather milk - it doesn't darken the leather. It's a really different experience with veg tanned than saffiano, but there is no denying that the veg tanned leather is gorgeous with some pampering.

The tag could be inside the bag, that is not all that unusual. It still could be brand new.

Just an update, I've decided to keep the rosa saffiano. I wore it for the first time today and got 2 compliments! Although I truly love the cammello, it will definitely not survive the way I use it. Even just wearing the rosa for 1 day, I was so aware of all the wear and tear that happens on a bag (keys bumping, nails scratching, getting in and out of car, picking up the kids). The only thing I don't like is struggling to open and close the bag because it's so stiff right now. Perhaps it will get easier as it softens up. Tying the knot has been a bit of a challenge too but it's worth it because it's so gorgeous!

Has you gotten any updates on your Lady? I ordered mine at the end of April and when I talked to them, they were saying May delivery but I saw your post and am sad that it will likely be more like June :(

I ended up canceling my pre-order for the saffiano Lady. I decided that my MG collection is complete, at least for now. I couldn't really justify having THREE Lady bags.
