You guys are such enablers ;) just ordered the mysterious "medium green" mini bucket from BG. I Held off on the rosa before because I just don't think I would do well with such a light color, by the new moss green is so pretty and at $495 instead of $610 I couldn't resist. It has to be the moss, right? For those of you who checked on the pink/rosa question, whom did you speak to at BG?

Do you think the green is the calf leather and not the vegetable leather? I went ahead and ordered it just in case. So now i have the mini rosa and the green coming. I just got the regular rosa. I prefer the size of the mini.

fingers cross for everyone that has ordered from NAP! Hope your bags get shipped in perfect condition :)

NAP just informed me that they have a bucket bag in black/flamma reserved for me!!! Trying not to get overly excited because it could be a returned item.. don't see where else they could have gotten it from apart from returns.

I received the mini black a few weeks ago from La Gacronne and it had a mark on the side but since it is so hard to get a mini I kept it. Also, I figured there will eventually be other scratches.

One of the ones I got that had issues was from new stock the rest were all ones I was on the waiting list for so obviously returns. I assume the issues are why they get returned but then NAP just keep recycling them until someone keeps it.

I need some advice. Just received my MG today in royal tumbled leather. I was surprised when I opened it because the bag has no ability to stand at all and just flops. I had not noticed this with anyone else's pictures.ImageUploadedByPurseForum1430339715.452189.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1430339739.114463.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1430339751.414587.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1430339764.147123.jpg


The first picture shows the bag just as it came. The second picture shows it with some stuffing and it's easy to see it still cannot show form. The third picture shows it fully stuffed and the fourth picture shows how much stuffing it took to get the bag to stand. Did I just misunderstand the body of the bag? I understood that it wasn't a stiff bag but I had no idea it would just completely fold flat. The color is beautiful.

This is exactly what I experienced as well. If I saw one in person prior to buying I would have never bought it. Not my cup of tea at all. I hope you can return it if you aren't super happy with it. ;)

Hi! I guess NAP wouldn't inform you this soon if it were the same bag since I just shipped one back this morning, but should it happen to be the same one, a photo is attached: black/flamma regular bucket. I had ordered two from them (black/ballerina through PS Dept and black/flamma directly through NAP website) and just wanted to compare colors in person since I'd never seen a bag except in pics. I kept the ballerina but thought both of these were in good condition. The shape seemed to be a little less symmetrical in the black/flamma (ie, it didn't cinch quite as evenly up top) but my husband said that was me being OCD. . . Neither seemed to have significant marks or scratches and that flamma was beautiful. I handled it and repackaged very carefully since I knew it could find another good home! Good luck! And thank you to ALL you ladies--y'all helped me get my hands on one of these beauties!

yep! i applied it to my cammello/rosa mini mini bucket before starting to use it and no darkening of color. it's hands down the best thing i've used to pre-treat and re-treat my MG bags, and celine bags. my cammello when new had a slightly dry feel to it so now it has a mellow satin sheen which i love. i will continue to condition with this.

Just wondering, have you tried it on a MG cammello colored bag? Their website says not to use it on naked leather and MGs vegetable tan leather is naked leather. It may be ok for calf though.

Does anyone know where in vancouver Canada I can get my hands on some of the leather treatment/conditioner mentioned in previous posts? I just received my Brandy Avion and I want to make sure I do the best possible to protect it from water etc before using it :)

If you like the bag, a purse organizer would help give it some structure. I use Purse2Go in mine.
