Thank you! I'm not at all a nerd about this...just forced my DH to watch Rear Window last night so I could ooh and aah at the MC spectacle (talk about product placement!).
Thanks to this thread, I ordered the MCM vanity box bag on Sunday, it arrived on Tuesday and we flew out for vacation at 5am today (Wednesday). It is very sturdy for travel and a good size for airport needs (it can easily fit inside a larger “personal item satchel”, but is also big enough for travel essentials; a wallet, slim makeup bag, and a few small toiletries (chapstick, toothbrush, toothpaste, contacts). It is quite funny because I have received so many compliments on this bag today, while my higher end bags go unnoticed. People remark that the shape is so fun, and I have to agree. Here is a unglamorous photo on the hotel bed as I get ready for sleep at 9:45pm local time (6:45pm my time!)

I was at Nordstrom rack and saw this bag just this past weekend. It was in calf hair leopard so I passed, but I would’ve snapped it up in their signature canvas!

Well the lunchboxes () arrived today. You've already seen the size 20 black one. Here are some pics of the black and white one which is very fresh looking in person and the sides and strap are even trimmed with the white. Now which one to keep hmmmm?

The black version, did you order the smooth leather with SHW or textured with GHW? I think this B/W one is very mod, but would love it even more with GHW.
Nordstrom’s only has the smooth leather with silver hw for the 20 size and I think I like smooth leather better for this bag.
And no not both, I already have more handbags then I know what to do with. I shouldn’t even have gotten these one(s)

No not yet.... I know I don't need another all black bag but I'm not sure how often I'll use the black and white one even tho I clearly like that one the best.
When is your bag arriving?
Should be here on Tuesday. It cleared customs on Thursday so it’s now with Purolator (courier like UPS in Canada)No not yet.... I know I don't need another all black bag but I'm not sure how often I'll use the black and white one even tho I clearly like that one the best.

Wow I am loving this thread!
I have an email alert set up for whenever they restock the Mark Cross Grace (I want the exact same one that’s in Rear Window). I’m also considering one of the Mansur Gavriel circle bags and still waiting for the Plume to be rereleased in the color I want. :3
