I have one on the way actually. But before I purchased this, I purchased a Dusty Steady from Bloomies online and then decided I shouldn't spend the money. So I cancelled my order but they said there was a chance I still might get the bag and if so to just send it back. So I got the bag from Bloomies today and even though I have a Dusty Steady coming from somewhere else now at a much better price, I just had to see what it looked like now before I sent it back to Bloomies. I opened it but didn't take it out of the plastic. I LOVE the color. Just beautiful. And my Steady is the Dusty Silverspot and it looks so much better in real life. I say go for it. I was really a pleasant surprise to be honest! Wasn't expecting it to be as beautiful as it was. I wish I could've touched it tough!WCLC, thanks for sharing your experience...
I recently bought the Dusty MAM and the leather is smooshy soft. It collapses quite a bit if empty. I love the leather on this bag. The color isn't quite as light as some web pics, it's kind of a light brown with little dark flecks -- kind of makes it more dimensional rather than one flat color.
If you have a toddler, it may be somewhat delicate to use, however. I've used it for a week (a little Apple spray protectant) and I've managed to keep it clean so far.
It's a beautiful bag and my favorite neutral. It really goes with any color clothing. I love mine!
I would describe it as a taupey light brown with a hint of pink, cool undertones. I have a Bulga taupe bag and I compared the two. The bulga taupe has more of a warm tone (yellowish) compared to my dusty (cooler pink tone).
Does that help at all?
It's my perfect neutral bag. The first day I carried her to work, a co-worker (I don't know well at all) stopped me on my way out and commented on how beautiful my bag was and then put her hands on Dusty. I almost freaked out but somehow managed to keep it together.
If it helps, here is a picture of my Dusty Market Tote next to my stone MAM and Cream D-Ring clutch.
