My black basketweave MAB from FunkyLaLa came today! This is my first RM I've seen/touched in real life, and I've gotta say I'm impressed. These past few months I've been on tPF I've been SUPER into Balenciaga. I love all the bright colors, the light leather, and the motorcycle style. But once I saw Lauren Conrad with her Nikki in Wine, I knew I was falling in love with RM too. :love: So I preordered one through Catalina but she isn't supposed to arrive til mid-end of May, when I will be gone in Italy for 7 weeks :crybaby: (I know, nothing to cry about...but I don't get to see my purse til July!!) Then, my boyfriend was so excited that RM's were half the price of Bal, he ordered me a Yellow Nikki! So it is in his posession with him at college, so once again I don't get to see THAT until he comes home. TORTURE I TELL YOU, TORTURE. So when this little baby came to my house today, I was utterly ECSTATIC! She is so much larger than I would have imagined, and I looooove it! Shes super soft, and her leather is sooo much thicker (and dare I say, a little better? Maybe thats the wrong word...more durable perhaps) than my Balenciaga's, but I have to say, also MUCH heavier. BUT I DON'T EVEN CARE, SHE'S AMAZING! (ps have I mentioned how good it makes me feel I can post pictures here? WHO DOES THIS? oh yeah, purse fanatics. I would feel like a lunatic if I hadn't have found tPF--actually come to think of it, I would also have a LOT more money :P I'm so glad you girls are here to support me!) And one more thing (I know I know, I'm rambling I'M SORRY!) the new hardware is GORGEOUS! I can't really compare it to the "old" hw because I've only seen it in pictures, but I loooove it! Its so shiny and BLING and gorgeous! Hope you girls like it as much as I do!!

I'm glad you like the bag. I have the original black basketweave and I think the RM bags are great. I'm like you in that most of my other bags are Bal. I love that RM is half the price, and these are definitely more durable. That's one problem that I had with Bal is that the bags scuff so easily. I am always parnoid when I carry a bal bag. The only downside compared to Bal is that the RM bags feel so heavy.
