MCM - Modern Creation Munich, ("v")

[its_a_keeper]

Sorry, so far only backpacks for us over here!

And yes, backpacks... Ordered the black one right away after the brown one arrived





They are just so much fun and wearable for my Hubby as well

I've recently become a MCM Milla fan. I now have 2 of them: Scooter Red and Charcoal and each one look amazing. I can't believe the quality of this bag at this price point. I love the removable shoulder strap because it can be worn to dress down the tote.

I usually buy Bottega Veneta but now I'm going to branch out to MCM. I will be on the lookout for more Milla colors in the near future because for sure the price will increase.

Do you have the larger size or the mini milla? How would you describe the scooter red color? Some websites show it as a pink, while others as a red. TIA

Both of them are medium $890 each. I had purchased the Scooter Red first and liked it so much that I decided to hunt down a more neutral color like Charcoal.

I would say the Scooter Red is a fushia red (very saturated pink red). It is not a blue red or orange red. In bright lighting, the red is bright and stands out. But that's a good thing for me because I wear alot of neutrals and the bag gives a nice pop of color. I took it shopping recently and I received many compliments. The MCM ads show the color darker than it really is.

Does anyone know if the Orbit bag comes in Mediterranean Blue?

Did you mean the Munich bag? Orbit grey is an MCM colour, as far as I know.

Yes. Sorry! That's what I meant to say. Thanks for catching that.

I really like the Munich bag but wish it came in the pretty bright Mediterranean Blue shade that the Milla style comes in. I love the zipper top and simple minimalist structure of the Munich. The Milla is pretty but it looks like it might get annoying with the flaps to tuck in when you're trying to access the contents. Overly complicated bags end up sitting in my closet, so I was hoping for both usability and style all in one package.

I can see that. I think, since the Munich has been an Autumn/Winter release, maybe it'll be around for Spring/Summer in the lighter colour palettes. It's a interesting that this shade of blue was released for the Milla in AW15 while they chose more subdued, season appropriate colours for the Munich. But I guess the intention was to target a more specific part of the market.

Personally, I don't think I'd mind the flaps. They seem fairly easy to access while giving some level of security vs an open tote. And I've seen pictures of the flaps left open deliberately, which gives the bag a slightly different look (a bit like H Kellys left open in a "casual but cool" way ) but I prefer it with flaps closed. Then again, that's just me.

Thanks so much for your reply

How would you describe the leather? Is it a printed texture leather and rough to the touch?

I appreciate your help as I'm not able to try on in store before purchasing.

My 2 bags are the grained leather that is rough to the touch and it feels great to me. It will be scratch resistant. I've attached some pictures where you can see the grained leather. I had problems capturing the exact Scooter Red color though.

I bought the Scooter Red from Saks so I could return it if I didn't like it.

For those mummies who own a mcm backpack, can advise which size is suitable? Medium or large? Is the bag heavy on its own without.contents?

Hi princesstarz,
So the one I have is quite heavy. However, incredibly useful and I bought it specifically to use when we are traveling (ie a full days outing, a weekend trip, or longer trips away). Thus, this bag is always stored with spoons, toys etc. I never really need to empty it or repack it. However it's too heavy to use as an every day bag.

If you have a store next to you I would take your baby items there and try the different items in the bags. But first decide if this is an everyday bag or a once in awhile bag for you and your kids. .

Lovely bag! I like the color!

I am not a Mom tho I can tell you the large is really large! My husband (he is 1,98 meters tall) wears a Medium Backpack and it is a perfect mens size.


It is not really heavy but not as light as a big LV bag.
Go for a small or medium, depending on for what you want to use it. You may want to try one on first anyway!

Love it! The pockets seem great too!

I have one MCM bag and am very impressed with the quality. The interior is wonderful too...Beautiful lining and many compartments~

OK, I know I have commented on this bag before... I really, really love this bag, and I'd never liked any MCM bags before! Especially now that I am super into python, and I love the yellow accent... I was just wondering if you knew anything about this bag, like the name of it or when it came out? I did some search online but could not find anything...

Btw Veronica bag is also kind of cute. Another python bag w/ yellow accent. But this one is better.
