Still waiting on mine. I preordered a mini black/flamma in January. PS said they were waiting on NAP to ship them.
So beautiful ! Thanks for sharing . Is this the regular? How do you find the size and how tall are you if you don't mind me asking?I'm looking to get the regular and am around 5"4 so would love to hear everyone's thoughts. I have the mini and find it a bit too small .
I'm about 5'3" and I have a regular bucket and a mini and I love them both. I carry the regular six to work and love the size and the casual vibe. I wear it with the drawstrings tied or left open for more of a tote feel. I carry the mini on the weekends when I tend to carry less around with me. Hope this helps!
I ordered two bags through PS and they both shipped very quickly. I think it really depends on the vendor that is actually selling the bag.
Thank you so much! That's super helpful. Definitely looking for a regular for my next purchase since I already have the mini.
Ive actually fell in love really hard for their bucket bags. But when I got it, it just didn't seem practical for me. Becuase everything is in one pot and the bucket Bag,yes felt like I was carrying a bucket. It just felt Unatural for me so I sold it after 1 month of having it.

I'm about 5'5" and was taken aback at first by how big the regular seemed when I got it. I've gotten used to it though, and it's great when you have to carry a lot (and it's so lightweight that it doesn't really feel like you are carrying a lot). Most days it's mostly empty but yesterday I threw a jacket in - it was nice to have the extra space. Check out the mod shot thread if you haven't.
Hi can someone tell me if the large tote in saffiano leather much smaller than the original large tote? The dimensions are so different. Thanks so much for your help 
After using the bucket for a few days, I'm a little disappointed abt the leather. I had a chance to try my friend's bag out before I ordered it online but I only just realized I don't like it very much.
Wish the leather was slightly softer/more buttery.

The stiffness of the leather is a big reason I am debating whether or not to cancel my preorder. I partially think the hype is getting to me.
You definitely have to be someone who likes the stiff look and feel. Sure it will soften up a bit, but not at all enough if that's really a deal breaker for you. I personally love the way it holds its shape - that's a big part of the appeal for me. I will say that it's even more of an issue on the larger bucket rather than the smaller one, where there just isn't as much material laying against your body. But it's really a matter of personal taste. Definitely don't just get caught up in the hype
Does anyone know if the tumbled leather is heavier than the calf leather ? And does the tumbled leather version stand up on its own well ? It looks super smooshy ! Thank you !
I've been meaning to post photos of my newest MG, the tumbled rosa large tote. I was initially shocked at just how "smooshy" it was. It arrived in the box appearing completely deflated, as if it could have just as well have been shipped in a padded envelope.
I didn't really know what to expect from the stock photos, and I wasn't able to find any photos showing the tumbled totes on an actual body, but I at least hoped it would stand up on it's own without a lot of help. Sadly, it doesn't, but I am growing to love it more everyday. The color is gorgeous and perfect for spring/summer, the bag can hold a LOT, the leather is less prone to scratching than the veg tanned, and it smells AMAZING. Seriously, I am not used to owning new bags (I buy mostly second/third/fourth hand) and I couldn't believe how leathery it smelled, in the best possible way. I also LOVE the wrislet/clutch-it is definitely more usable than the bucket bag clutches since the leather is so soft.
That being said, there are a few more things about this style that I'm not so crazy about. The tumbled leather shows "lumps" much more obviously than the veg tanned-for example, I can clearly see the corners of my ipad when it's in the bag, and I feel the need to 'organize' my bag every time I want to use it so that flat items go up against the sides to hide any lumpy items. I'm also not super comfortable with the open top design, since most of my bags have closures of some kind. I no longer live in NYC so I don't need to worry about safety so much as everything spilling out of my bag when I'm driving :shame:
After using the bag for a few weeks I think I prefer the stiffer leather of the bucket bags, even if they are more prone to showing signs of wear. The tumbled leather is certainly gorgeous and high quality, but I own too many other bags with similar feeling material and I don't own anything else like the vegetable tanned leather.
I'm posting some of the photos I've put up on Instagram of the bag (and one of the wristlet)-I will eventually get around to posting all of the shots of the tote and my buckets on the mod shot thread, still new to posting the pics on here so forgive me if they don't show up
