I am totally MJ, too. I always used to be kind of bag-addicted, having a lot of no-name bags with nontheless nice styles in my collection (no money fund for expensive bags at my student time). When I started my job, the first "designer" bag I treated myself with was a LV Deauville. So I also started with LV. I only buy bags whose shape I really like and which I know will work for me (e.. not too small), so I got only two other LV, a Speedy and a CB Pochette (uh - I know - this one IS small, but I just love these cherry blossoms!). I always wanted a MJ stam, but its price was just beyond my budget. After working and finally finding tpf with this great assorted experts here I finally managed to get my first MJ over *bay and finally fell in love. Now I am head over heels in MJ. I compare the leather of everybag with the MJ leather, which is just sooo lucious and am always thinking that I better spare my money to buy some more MJ before buying other bags. I have 4 MJs now and I love everyone of them. They are just sooo me. And I think - they really are that gorgeous as we think they are. I always get LOTS of compliments when I wear one of my MJs, regardless which one I choose. I manage to even convert one of my best friends to even liking bags (she was more into clothes and shoes) and even also my BF loves MJ (I hates me buying that much bags, but he loves all my MJ bags and he even got me some special items for me AND him at the MJ store when he visited Boston!
So MJ rules!!
