That she carries it when traveling is telling, because maybe the same closure we find somewhat vexing, is also just vexing enough for would be thieves! Bonus!If you follow the IG of the Marketing Director of LC-USA, you can see her carrying her Grey Mlle with her on her trips to Europe all last yr.
Those types of mechanisms don't agree with me, which is why I havent gotten a Mlle but I still like looking at it and I like this thread.
Also, thank you everyone for your feedback on the closure! I definitely need to seek out the bag in person to get a sense of whether or not it'll bug me. I have a push button lock on my Mulberry, and I learned to open it one handed while driving, which is key for when you *need* that chapstick on the highway. LOL
Others may have a different experience, but I find the Mademoiselle closure impossible to open with one hand. I can do a Chanel turnlock with one hand, but not this one. It’s not a push-button closure, it’s two little buttons that have to be squeezed toward each other, which I can’t do and pull the flap up at the same time. If anyone has a different way of dealing with this closure, please let me know!
Not sure what you mean by two buttons, but yeah, I'd agree that I generally use two hands to open it. I pull down the button with one thumb and use the other hand to pull up on the leather tab to lift the flap. I don't find it difficult.

Well, that’s what I get for trying to visualize this from memory rather than having the bag in front of me. I was picturing the closure of the Pochette Metis, not the Mademoiselle!
In any case, yes, that’s how I open my Mademoiselle as well. For some reason, the bag just doesn’t open easily for me. Closing it is fine — like you, I can do it with one hand.
I’ve been thinking about it and I realized I usually use two hands to open many of my bags, so the Mademoiselle doesn’t seem like a big deal. For instance with a zip top I hold one end stable while zipping in the opposite direction with the other hand. Or with a snap or magnet closure, I hold the base firm while opening with the other hand. Anyway with the Mademoiselle, I totally get that the clasp might be a minor thing to some but a major PITA for others. We can agree to disagree.
I love the HW color for this bag. Hope LC makes more Mlle in this HW.

I’m thinking about this, and I use two hands for a lot of bags as well. The problem (for me) with the Mademoiselle is that even with two hands, it’s difficult. I end up yanking on the flap to try to get it open. The fact that you find it so easy makes me wonder if something is wrong with the clasp on mine. I’m going to bring it in next time I go to the boutique and ask if it’s typical.
A Mademoiselle to look forward to in FW 2018
