Current Good Quality Fair Price but Little Known Recommendation Thread

@southernbelle43 , it took longer than expected to get Mr Mini Gator Gang, but here it is at last. Here is a comparison photo with the MM Little Athena shoulder bag. I would say it's comparable in size to a Balenciaga City. Hasn't developed a slouch yet, but when it does, it should fall into that curvaceous shape that I admire!

Wow I had no idea it was that big! I love it. I did not check the dimensions. I just compared it in my mind to the Mr. mini Armadillo that I bought. Its dimensions sounded OK but when I opened up the box it was TINY. My husband and I actually started laughing. The dimensions apparently were when fully opened up, unsnapped, etc. I sold it to someone who carries smaller bags and she loves it.

My Mr. Verne was shipped on 3/18 and I do not think it has left Australia? it will get here when it gets here, lol.

I have nothing but great things to say about Deadly Ponies bags. This on be will be my third... Actually my 5th over the past three years. And there are more in my future.

I got curious and checked some sizing. You have to be very careful with DP sizing.
My full size Mr. Octo is 13 ¾ inches wide and 11 ½ inches tall.
The Octo MIDI is 8 inches wide and 9 ½ inches tall.
However the Mr. Gator Gang full size is 17 x 11 while the MINI is 14 x 10.

That's what happened to me. I bought the Mr. Caiman Mini from DP. I really should have paid more attention to the word "mini" (or the listed dimensions) because the bag was tiny. I'm not a tiny person so it ended up looking ridiculous on me. On the other hand, the leather was lovely.

I still laugh about that Mr. Armadillo mini. I can still see it when I opened the box, which was huge, and it was lying there like a Barbie doll accessory. I think I picked it up with two fingers and started laughing.

Hehe. Well, now I definitely have to google an image of this bag...

That someone who has that bag now is me and I love it very much . It is tiny, but it fits a lot more than it looks it would, and the design is just so unique and leather so lovely! It is definitely my THE small bag, good for both going out and casual errands.
@dignatius, your Mr. Gator Gang will definitely slouch in no time. When I got my full size one, it seemed almost like a briefcase flat, but as soon as I wore it once packed with my stuff, the corners drooped immediately and it assumed its lovely shape!

Deadly Ponies is having an archive sale!

 

[Kimbashop]

I just bought a Mr. mini Fill N Zip in Nightshade at an insane price. It's a bag that has been on my list for a while. Although I'm not buying much of anything these days, the sale was incredible (about 75% off) and I knew I'd never find this bag again at this price.

Yea for you. I had just bought a DP but checked out the sale and could not believe the prices. Now that is what I call a SALE!

I think they actually have this sale online due to the epidemic. I've received emails from them in the past of archive sales, but they were always store exclusive. A VERY small silver lining.
Yay @Kimbashop! Nightshade is GORGEOUS.

This is an amazing sale. I'm super tempted, but I fear the bags that are available in the sale right now will be too small for me.

I wondered about that. I've noticed a ton of sales happening lately, from almost all of the brands I like.
I have been semi-drooling over that nightshade color for a while and couldn't believe that it was that price point. I never thought I was a blue bag fan but when this one arrives I will own 9 blue bags -- more than the number of black bags I own. I'm hoping I like the shape of it too, and it looks like a great day bag. I love satchels with a bit of slouch so I'm hoping this one does that with time.

Edit -- it's the mini fill n buckle:

well, not to enable, but there is a Regular sized Mr. Fill N Buckle in black python that I almost bought. The strap buckles underneath the bag to change the shape into a Boston/Doctor's bag. It can hold a 13"laptop among other things.

I saw that one, but sadly (or luckily?), it was sold out by the time I saw it. I just checked again, and now it's not even showing up.

I'm super tempted though, by the Mr. Mini Fill N Buckle, in Nightshade, just like you got. I love blue bags, and the price is so so good. It is small for me though. Although, this current period is showing my that my love for big bags is entirely dependent on my commuting lifestyle. It's also not usually a style I would go for, as I'm not a huge top-handle person. The shoulder strap does make it workable for me, but I can't tell how long the strap drop is or if it's adjustable. All that being said, it's similar in dimensions and style to the Speedy 25, which I've always kind of thought about getting, maybe, someday, so maybe this would be a good substitute...

I'm not sure if I'm just making excuses so I can buy it or if it would actually be a smart purchase.... I need to figure it out fast because I don't think it will last much longer!

I will definitely post pics and a "what's in my bag" photo so that you get a sense of what fits. I know what you mean about not using big bags right now. It is definitely an indication to me that I use my big bags for work or travel. Right now, I'm gravitating to either my small crossbodies or my medium-sized bags. I've noticed is that I love medium size bags that are proportioned around 10x8 -- which is the size of the DP bag
