Hi ladies, I was hoping to get a MS flamma/flamma mini bucket for my Mother's Day present. I saw they are doing a restock on the 14th. I've never bought from them before is there a thread that will tell me what to expect or any pointers? thanks :)

If you have an iPhone, download PS Dept! There is a mini flamma/flamma available now. Otherwise, there are lots of posts regarding the restocks. It's going to be a little different this year; in the past, things have sold out within the hour, probably a lot faster for a variety of reasons. This time, they're allowing you to hold something in your cart for 5 minutes once you've clicked the button to check out. It's one bag per customer. They usually don't announce a time, so people are typically refreshing the page the entire day :O It's madness. Also, make sure you're set on the one you want - they have a no return policy! Hope this helps!

LOL this is what I just imagined
On PS Dept, usually people will ask a question to see if the product is available, and personal shoppers/assistants (not sure what to refer to them as) will get back to you whether or not it is available. I think since it showed it was available and you paid, someone should get back to you in a few hours. I've paid and wondered if it went through too, but sometimes it can take a while. Lots of people here have been using PS Dept to get their MGs. I hope you get it in time for mother's day!

edit: been trying to figure out how to add pics. This is the best I got

Yep, that's me!! Oh I'm so excited! I've been wanting a red bag for some time and just can't find "the one". LV has gotten ridiculous and then I found this bag and fell in love! I see the start of a beautiful friendship. Oh and that app is dangerous, almost as dangerous as TPF!!! Thank you ladies, you never fail to feed my addiction. xoxo

With PS, you pay and then they process your order through whatever channel they are getting your item through. It usually takes a day or so to get the confirmation. You should be okay though.
 
Pls pls pls can you all advice me...I have been thinking about the backpack for a long time. I think the regular size will be too big but also feel the mini backpack is too small. I am about 5' 5.5" and weigh about 123 lbs.
Or should I just wait for the lady bag?
I own the mini bucket and love the size.
All advice appreciated!!!
Just came across your question and not sure if it's been answered, but here's my little input. I am very petite (barely 5 ft ~100 lbs) and have been using the large backpack as my everyday work bag for the past couple weeks. I absolutely love it for this purpose, b/c I commute on public transit and walk to work. I don't think it is too overwhelming on me (although I can't really see myself walking around with it) and have gotten compliments on it. I would highly recommend the large backpack if you are going to carry a good amount of stuff, but if you are not going to be carrying much I would go with the mini backpack for casual wear.

I've been meaning to post some pics and a more detailed review, but I've been lazy.

Hey guys, any recommendation on whether I should purchase the tumble, calf coated or vegetable tanned mini backpack??
Cant decide, don't know which will be better! Any tips :)

They're all so different.

If you don't watch scratches/not into watching the raw leather age do not get the vegetable tanned. I like it (and bought it), but it's not for everybody.

Tumble is definitely the softest - it's personally not my taste. I think the appeal of the MG bags are their structure and I think you lose that with the tumble, but a lot of people here love it.

You can't really go wrong with the calf coated.

Check out the color thread. Its photos may help.
 
For anyone who wants to know more about the saffiano leather, I just got my mini saffiano bucket (black/flamma) from Barney's and first impressions are that its quite sturdy and flexible (I keep bending & scratching it lol) and has no imperfections unlike the veg.tanned, but theres also none of that yummy leather smell. Although its definitely not strong, theres this very faint plastic scent. The ties are also very flexible so its good to tie up in whatever style.
