For some reason, I thought cement was a little pinkish :confused1:

I think under some lighting, the Cement does have rosey undertone. Kitcat captured it in her pics - I also noticed it under the bright lights at the MbyMJ store (but I don't think it's very obvious and/or noticeable under other lighting)

Yeh I have a mini bow, cut out bowler and then this one from Miu Miu. I kind of like how simple it is too. ALL of my bags are fancy in some way or unusual this one is just so basic and I have a couple of weddings coming up etc I thought it would be nice for. Also it fits everything in it, its surprisingly big compared to what the pics I bought it off showed and it looks smaller from the outside than it is.
I have until monday to decide because its my last day off and I need to arrange a courier on that day if Im not going to keep it.

Jaime,

Your bags are stunning! The colors are so delicious together. I'd keep the Miu Miu bag if I were you, it's classy and simple and the color looks lovely. You've inspired me to go and check the Miu Miu range!

Good luck with your decision

I've got my Newsprint Sasha, now I just need the Cement Sasha

Hey, is it common to get scratches on the leather, I've only used mine less than 5 times and there are scratches on the leather, I'm just wondering if it's common or the way I'm treating my bag (thought i've taken extra care!)

are they actual scratches or markings in the leather, more like scuffs? this leather is meant to have a vintage look to it and I think it looks better after you've carried it a few times and you get those markings in the leather. But if they bother you, take some conditioner to the bag - when I first bought my Brown Sasha it had tons of marks on the leather from being on display in the store. The SA took conditioner to the entire bag and it looked perfect when I brought it home. After a while, it developed some lighter markings which I really liked, but if they get to be too much, the conditioner usually fixes it

Thanks!
Yeh i am really leaning towards keeping it now except I feel bad for the amount of money I have spent since chistmas :shame: and I have 5 more packages on the way!!!! It depends what I end up keeping. If I send other things back then I will keep the bag but I just dont think I should keep everything!

I noticed the NAP international site still has one of the older Sashas without the shoulder pad in brown:

Hi! I'm new, but I got sucked into the PTTM mania and just went looking for a Natasha in stores since they've all disappeared online.

On my hunt I discovered Bloomie's has the Sasha in Cement (so pretty!) and the SA said they also still had it in Newsprint. But they and Nordstrom are totally 100% sold of of Natashas.

Saks on the other hand.....had the Grape Juice Natasha in store and 10 BLACK Natashas left!! In all the stores. Make that 9 because one should be in my hands within a week. Yes!

Anyone here (besides me!) own (or have owned) a Sasha from F/W AND one from Resort? I was just wondering if anyone else thought there was a difference in the leather?

My Marsh Brown Sasha was so soft and smooshy. The bag sagged and slouched and molded to my body when I carried it. My Newsprint one, however, altho soft, isn't smooshy and doesn't mold to my body - in fact, the flap kinda sticks up and doesn't lie nicely over the top of the bag. I've been "smooshing" it, using conditioner daily, but it doesn't seem to be getting any softer and/or smooshier. I just wondered if anyone has noticed this and/or if the Resort bags are just taking longer to soften up?

I havent owned one from before, but I have been carrying my newsprint since I got it and find that it molds to me and is really soft. I dont have an issue with the flap sticking up.
But again I havent owned a previous one so I cant help with if it is in fact different.

you can sorta see what I mean in these pics - see how the Newspring sticks out? And I'm actually holding the flap down with my arm (you can sort see it sticking out on the left side, whereas the brown one just lies nicely over the top of the bag) I also just noticed that the drop length is different (altho I had them on the same settings)

I mean, I may just have to give it time to soften, but I'm not finding this one as easy to carry as my Brown one was:sad:

i never got to feel one of the first season bags....i probably would have gotten in a fight if i tried feeling up the gals bag i saw at the concert :p

i will say that my natasha has softened up A LOT since i got it. maybe you just need to be patient? and keep squishing it and stuff. i need to condition mine..

im also wondering if it could be the color too. you know some colors of leathers from MJ and MBMJ from the same line/style/etc feel softer or stiffer because of the dyes...just a thought too.
