I received it! I was rushing to go to the gym so could not get great photos but here are a few. I’m 5’7” and like smaller bags. I did see this exact bag in The Bay before I went on vacation and didn’t like the one on display for some reason so I was prepared to have to do a return when this arrived.

But it’s :love:! Can’t wait to get back home and move my stuff in and see what it can fit. If it fits my Kobo it may just become my favourite mini bag!

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!) :smile:

Congrats! It's a beautiful color. I have the darker one and you are right...I always get compliments when I wear this bag!

Thank you all!

This bag impresses me... here’s what fits plus there’s room still for a couple of other small items (small mirror, lip balm, etc.)

And here she is with her big sister large CHANEL Vanity Case. The pebbled leather on the MJ us flatter and more “random” compared to the Chanel caviar leather.

Thank you! What size is your Chanel?
Edit: I read the post right above the picture. It said large. Thank you.

Love your Chanel vanity! How practical is one sided zipper to use? One thing I like about the MJ's is the double zip. Super handy to get in and out of. Enjoy your new baby.

By one sided zipper do you mean one compartment? The Chanel has two zippers. I actually consider the MJ bag a single zipper so I think you may be referring to compartment?
I have no issues getting into the CHANEL bag, the bag opens nice and wide and and completely open like a true vanity case. :smile:

I want..no,,,I NEED one now. But what color? I thought I didn’t like the black one, but it looks so edgy and chic! I like the black/white combo and colorful bags too, but I don’t like the big and obvious letters on them. :sad:

You could always wear the bag with the logo on the back as @Addicted to bags was going to do with hers!
