FYI, barneys currently has pre-orders for saffiano lady bag, large bucket, mini bucket, and large tote, for march delivery. These are all for black/flamma with the exception of the mini bucket that also comes in rosa/rosa.

I just ordered the mini in rosa/rosa! Thanks so much for the tip! I'm excited these will be shipping next month -- just in time for spring and summer!

Mini in Rosa saffiano leather was on my list but I never pull the trigger... Congratulations!!! Please show us some pictures when the beauty arrives.

Thank you!!! Will do! March can't come soon enough. I own a lot of black purses and adding a light-colored one in saffiano, where I don't have to worry about babying it, excites me to the brim!

If it's still on your list, it's still up on Barney's site for pre-order! :smile1:

Thanks for the reminder. My friend just ordered a black/flamma mini and she is as excited as you are. I already have the black/flamma and was considering to get the rosa because the bag is so light and easy to use. I changed my mind to wait for mini lady since it has a flap. But in the last minute, I ordered a Sophie Hulme, just to try sth different.
Nevertheless, I still love MG's buckets and lady bags!!!!

Hi there, I was wondering if someone could give feedback on the saffiano leather in the lighter colors (e.g. rosa, white) after some use. From what I've read, saffiano is practically indestructible but I'm just curious how it holds up in the much lighter colors? Any issues you've seen so far? Is it easy to clean? If so, what would you recommend? TIA!

I also own a black/flamma in large but wanted a LadyBag as well. I just preordered a mini suede LadyBag then saw the rosa/rosa mini bucket and had to get that one too! I think I'm going to end up returning the large bucket as it's too big for me. I also dislike that the part that sits against my body flattens out/becomes concave when I use it. The stiffness of the saffiano leather kind of make it annoying.

I exchanged my large bucket in black/flamma saffiano for a large ladybag in black/flamma saffiano. I just couldn't stand the bucket being deformed and squished whenever it laid against my body. I think the even backside of the ladybag will be much better!

I was wondering the same thing and did a search of TPF through Google. I could only find a few examples and it all sounds positive. I'm waiting on a rosa mini bucket and tote myself!

1) Msbuffy100 has a white/royal tote:

I have the white saffiano tote and I havent done anything with it. Honestly I havent even thought about color transfer. Ive only had it a few weeks though. I do wear it with black quite a bit and so far so good. 😄

I have a Saffiano tote and when it first arrived it was never as stiff as the buckets. Even my canvas buckets seem more stiff than the tote. I think its a bucket thing. That said, saffiano is amazing! Even after many uses it still looks perfect. I prefer it. I hope you enjoy it!

2) kismis has a white/blu bucket, update from October 2015:

I have the White/Blu saffiano leather bucket from Barneys and it hasn't experienced any Color transfer. In fact, my friends are pretty surprised how white it has remained! I don't baby it and I do take it out, put it on the ground, etc although I am just careful about not wearing it with one particular pair of very black jeans I have (that pair tends to fur off too ie when I graze my nails across it, the material collects underneath my nails and I don't want the microfibres of that material to cling onto the bag).

Here is my family photo. It's actually shocking when you line them all up together. And I forgot to include my Royal canvas mini yikes. Black Argento large tote (eBay), rose saffiano large tote (eBay), large Black Royal Bucket (Steven Alan), mini Camello Rosa bucket (PS Dept) and mini saffiano black flamma bucket (Barneys). I think I am done.

I havent used mine since summer. Not heavy use either. I've had zero issues with my tote and I wear black and jeans often. If MG offered reg buckets with pockets like the canvas I would probably buy another. Its my favorite material. Doesn't scratch, doesn't stain. Looks perfect and new 24-7. Its almost spring, maybe I'll bring it out soon.

Thanks! Great to know that others have not experienced any issues with their saffianos! On a whim, I pre-ordered both saffiano rosa and cammello rosa mini buckets from Barneys to compare. I think it will be a really hard decision. I really, really love the the cammello but want the durability of the saffiano. Will see what happens. Can't wait!! :p
