Bag open

For those with questions on how to close, this is how i normally do it. It's pretty easy and the process of closing the bag this way is quite fun. I leave the lock and key in the inner pocket i don't like dangly stuff.

On my shoulders.Didn't take crossbody shots cos i don't like carrying it crossbody but it's possible, definitely long enough.

Quick Close (just put the mainflap over and turn the keyhole, easy enough).

Hey ladies, I got my MT medium dark blue silver hardware from Erica about 10 days ago.

10 days after using it, I must say that it's very nice to carry. I like the fact that it's very soft and light, extremely rugged and looks better stuffed up. Complaints about not being able to use the shoulder strap and difficult closure of the bag aren't really true. All I have to do is put the main flap over the main keyhole and turn the keyhole to close the bag. The shoulder strap is totally usable and comfortable on the shoulders, it can also be worn crossbody but not for super long cos it does get uncomfortable if you have a weak neck like i do.

I don't mind the handles not going over my shoulders. My miu miu bow satchel don't have long handles too. Actually I have a baby and i find tt carrying my boy with a shoulder bag is most uncomfortable cos they always slip off. so handbag is best cos they sit at the crook of my arm comfortably.

The blue is also what i wanted. Very close to black but not black.

However, when i first got it i must admit i was disappointed with the workmanship. The gluing together of the leather makes the bag look cheap and crumpled.I had thoughts of returning it but then i hate returning stuff. now tht i've used it for a while i can actually ignore the crumply bit because the bag just looks very worn and kinda nice.


All in all... I think this bag suits the more edgy and casual type of personality (which i am). Not your super ladylike dainty sort.

PS: thanks Erica for the recommendation.

Ladies! Saw the re-design in the MT showroom in Milan yesterday and the new strap placement is excellent. Nothing falls out when the bag is worn open and with the strap now. It also lays nicely on your hip/leg. When you take the strap off, the leather hooks on the side, are nicely hidden in the bag IMO. If you look at the first prototype that I posted a few pages ago, the shoulder clearance shown on that one is still a little tight. I requested one more inch of clearance. I honestly think anything more will look strange and MT agreed!

Your bag looks gorgeous on you! Do you like the size? Im 5' 105lbs and am still trying to figure if Med. would be too big or if I should go with a small. Please give us an update.

Thank all for the compliments! For those contemplating getting medium or small, it depends on your needs. I knew a large would be overwhelming on my frame and I don't carry a kitchen sink. So I settled for a medium. A small is definitely more ladylike yet it will still be able to hold all my essentials. I may go for one too perhaps in a loud color.
