MCM - Modern Creation Munich, ("v")

I might have snagged the last croc embossed on Fashionette! Crossing my fingers that my order will go through. So excited!

Good luck to you. If you do get it, please do a reveal. I'm waiting for it to come to the US. I asked a SA to contact me as soon as they get the bags.

Hello Everyone ! Just wanted to show you my first and brand new MCM Milla in the large size in phantom grey , i adore this bag, the craftsmanship is beautiful, everything is subtly stamped and finished to an extremely high standard, i bought this to replace my Birkin as its too heavy/looking worn with everyday use and i have to say the quality levels are similar but that's just my opinion


I also have an unboxing on my youtube if anyone wants to see how the bag looks new

ruxoru, I love your bag! I have the phantom grey also but in medium; love it to death. You are so right about the quality of the bag. I compared the Milla leather to my Hermes Togo leather and they are very close in quality and feel.

I also love your unboxing video.

Oh, yay - was looking for a MCM thread, as I recently became obsessed with the brand and the sheer incredibleness (yes, I'm making it a word) of it. I pick up my 1st piece tomorrow, have another item shipping and hoping to order a few more soon! This should be a sticky in the Premier Designers section IMO, because they've been around a good 35+ years I believe and are now gaining even higher popularity. There is even a stand alone MCM Boutique being built as we speak at my local mall (which is now also getting a Neiman's and just, a major overall in general). Excited! I was only able to skim through, but everyone's bags/backpack's/stuff here is lovely!

Slightly embarrassing tale: When I was younger, a diehard faithful Vuitton devotee... I saw my 1st MCM bag on a woman's shoulder. I thought it was an MGM Bag...like, as in the MGM Grand, the hotel, and they maybe gave out a complimentary tote. Then I saw it on and off and was like...man, everyone seems to have hit up the MGM and gotten these, they're nice! Finally, derpo me, sees it's a "C", not G and decided to look it up and thereforth, corrected myself.

I've always admired them, but again, blinders on when you love only one brand for so long. 'Bout a week ago and now, maaaaany years, life situations and happenings later, I've decided to start my own collection! Pleased to meet everyone in this thread

Did you live in Vegas/SoCal in the 80's?
I did and had the same experience. I wanted one really badly, but didn't have the funds.
And just so you know, the MGM did have one of their boutiques in the hotel back in the day, before the fire.

No, I didn't. I was actually born and a baby in the 80's. I'm also from Long Island, NY, lol. And that's pretty cool and awesome that one was in there - I had no clue! Maybe I soothsayer-ed it in some distant other life/memory, hah!

*lol* must be the other life thing!

But I didn't know either they had an own line at the MGM!

As I am from Germany I practically grew up seeing that brand... funny fact; way back around 1985/1988 the brand was most seen on high end hookers! Therefore MCM was called Muschi-Club-München (something like p***y-club-munic) from 'high-society-ladies' and no one would wear that brand out on the streets (I remember my Granny hideing her bags in the closet *lol*). Later those jokes died down and eventually since a few years these bags are quiet popular in Germany again!

Now THAT is too funny.
LV Speedy 30 was the bag of choice for strippers and show girls in Las Vegas back then. The MCM map bag was a fav of high school girls and grannies.
Most of the ladies in my age group carried Gucci if we could afford it.

That's insane, but also very funny...and quite interesting!!! Now I have a fun fact for people if they ask about my bag at all, haha..

Question to any experts. I'm currently getting my MCM's from Bloomies, Nordstrom, and Saks. However, I noticed in many of the stock photos for purchase and photos of people carrying them, many of the zipper pulls on the backpacks (especially Mediums) all have a looped pull. The ones in the stores have a straight leather pull tab. Is there a reason for this? I'd really prefer a looped, so I can attach a MCM bagcharm to them easily but it seems there aren't those ones with the looped zipper pull available here (usa, ny?)

I'm from Germany, too, and your post made me laugh. Because it brought back memories from my very early youth. [emoji4]

I just saw your video and it was great. I'm really considering getting the Milla myself to use as a work bag. It seems like the large would be perfect to fit my 13" laptop, do you think it would fit nicely in the zipped compartment? My only hesitation is that I'm quite petite and I'm hoping the large won't overwhelm me.

Great news! I got my Milla Croc Embossed (medium) today! So happy with it! As people have said before the quality is absolutely amazing. It's not a cheap bag (€995) but it feels much more expensive. The leather is soft but sturdy. Also it's pretty light which is a plus for me. I don't think I will use it a lot for every day (probably when I travel) but the shoulder strap is really practical. I love that it's the same color has the bag with a stripe of croc leather in the middle.

I didn't have much time today so here are a couple of iPhone pictures. I ordered mine on Fashionette.be Their mainsite is fashionette.de They are based in Germany. Great service overall. Ordered on a Thursday and received Monday by UPS. I had emailed them before to know when the bag would be back in stock but unfortunately they couldn't give me an exact date, just to keep checking the site... and well it paid off!
