Took pics before I send the bag back. Hubby said to air it out but I don't want to wait around to get rid of the smell.
I'm also short so it only works as a belt bag. Strap is too long as a crossbody and sits awkwardly on my hip.
To anyone interested, Here's a size comparison pic next to a Chanel rectangular mini. As you can see, it really is 'baby' sized. supermini 2.jpgsupermini 1.jpg
 
Just received my KS Marmont super mini in the mail today. It's definitely more of a collector's piece. I've tried out super minis in the boutique before so I knew what to expect with the size. It could easily fit an Iphone mini, Hermes Calvi card holder and slim hand sanitizer spray, no problem.

My main gripe about it is the SMELL. It reminds me so much of my old skunk Birkin. Alas, the smell is a real deal breaker for me. Does anyone have the same issue with theirs? Or did I just get a dud...
It does have a slight scent. I wouldn't have really noticed it if you didn't point it out. lol. it must be from the coating as it is not like the regular "squishy" leather of the solid colours. I was told it is double coated to protect the floral print.
 
I just came back from returning it...it's way too small for me :sad:
Good call. Mine is going back as well. I got a bag from the Gucci Flora line which fills my floral fix, and I am much more happy and excited about it! I want to spend $ on something I am going to USE, especially during these times.
I will be a bit sad to let go of mine, but get something that makes you truly happy and fits your needs :biggrin::heart:

I love your Chanel. There is a hack to shorten the strap, but then the scent will be closer to your nose! LOL

Thanks for checking! What you said about it being double coated makes a lot of sense, must be the reason why it's giving off a 'synthetic' smell.

It's really is a uniquely cute bag, but I agree with everyone, it's not that functional. But I can imagine someone who doesn't like wearing 'typical' bags and prefers wearing belt bags getting a lot of use from it though!

Yes I have LV MCs so I asked about how the floral print will hold up. They said it’s specially treated and double coated, which explains the smell. I do have the Gucci ghost which is slightly cracking on the print after five years. That leather is much softer, not like these Ken Scott marmonts. I love a non typical bag for sure, if only it was 1-2 inches bigger!

I loved this article so much that I ordered the white ken Scott Marmont bag. I also ordered a python small Jackie O bag. Both were on back order and when I placed the order they were to be delivered by March 15th. After 5 calls to Gucci customer service I finally got an email saying the Marmont shipped yesterday. Also got an email that there was an issue with the billing on the Jackie O because of the value my cc company thought it was fraud. I spent an hour on the phone with Gucci customer service today trying to update the billing info and was rudely told I could not. After waiting a month and a half for a $3500 bag I was so badly treated by Gucci. Have been a loyal shopper with them for years. So disappointed because I ordered these for my birthday and just puts a bad taste in my mouth for the company. Have never had such a bad experience with other luxury retailers.

I'm really sorry this happened to you. :hugs: Try not to let some stupid (probably temp) employee spoil your overall experience. If you like the python Jackie (me too) don't let them put you off the bag of your dreams (if it still is).

I had a similar problem with a huge French reseller before Christmas. My CC company flagged the site as unsafe and after I'd kept trying my card (CC's fault) the site flagged my CC as unsafe after too many attempts :panic: . I persisted (hours in broken French, the site losing my details (especially my address) emails going to spam, more painful hours calling fraud to clear the card) and was glad I did because one was a croc Gucci bag I'd searched for since 2008 (because of the delay, I lost out on the Hermes though). It was hell, and others obviously can't do their job (including the bank) but in the end - I have my bag.
 
Please let me know if you see this bag. I ordered it from Gucci and after a week of waiting for it, they told me they made a mistake and wasn’t coming to me. No email to notify me until after i inquired.

Anyway please let me know if anyone knows how to get my hands on one. Thanks!
