Can anyone tell me what year this is? I bought it but cannot remember for the life of me.
And it didn't come with a strap but it has the square rings like it should have one.
Just always been curious about the straps.
All the hardware has initials on it.
(and I'm not questioning its authenticity because I bought it myself, new)

Thanks,
Nas

I'm sorry for not doing multi-quote! Y'all answer so fast over here!
I never studied up much on RM. It does feel so soft! So no more signature hardware? That's a shame. Maybe that h/w cost too much to keep up with?
I do remember the bag being expensive.
It is also kind of noisy!

sadly RM will not bring the old hardware back. the new hardware is rather plain (no identity) and easy to rip off. although i've seen the clasp snap of some latest bags has RM engraved on it. plain letters without artistic design. i am not into RM for a long time but i can see that she's decided to sacrifice the details of her older bags for a simple and plain style. and i agree, it's about cost cutting.

I love looking at the old school MABs with signature hardware. Those purses are so beautiful to me. They look more exquisite compared today versions of the MAB/MAM. I wish I could have one in my collection, especially a Dark Brown MAB. :love:

Kasey. can I hug you??! :D Thank you so much! I was the one who snatched it up. I have been dying for a salmon colored bag. I am a bit concerned about the straps (don't know what else to call them) on the front now that I stare at it more but I guess I'll find out soon enough! Thank you thank you thank you!

my pleasure! i enjoyed the search process a lot so i have to thank you!
btw, the color of your bag is burnt orange, similar to salmon but brighter and with a sheen. i also found a close relative to this bag. it's called Embrace which has a gorgeous shape and strap ;)

Thank you Kasey! Perhaps you know the answer to a question I have about the bag. The seller indicates in her listing that she added the D ring to the sides (you can see it sticking out from the sides in the pic). The stock photos on Amazon (not sure if they are stock or just amazon's) show there are NO leather tabs to hold the rings but on the other photos in the listing, there are leather tabs. Could the seller possibly have added those? Would RM put tabs without D rings? It all seems very odd to me.

Thanks for any help or advice! I really appreciate you tracking down the name and info. There doesn't seem to be much discussion about this style at all on tPF. Thank you!

just by looking at this photo, it's hard to tell if the seller did a great job to add the rings on the sides. it's possible to add anything. all you need are materials and equipment. perhaps the seller asked a cobbler to add them.
if i see these rings on the sides on a medium or small size RM bag, i'd wonder they're for a detachable strap. i think these rings are practical as you can attach a MAC strap to it and wear it as shoulder bag or crossbody. just my opinion. i'd suggest to ask the seller for more photos and details if those rings bother you. ;)
