I'm debating on the Milla mini and medium. Does anyone have a photo of these two lovely bags next to each other?
I don't have any mini but I've seen both in real life and I have the medium. The mini is very small. The medium is for for day bag.
Just a heads-up that MCM is having its sample sale in New York June 23-28 (noon-7 the first day, 11-7 after) at 150 Greene St. in Soho. There is a purse/coat check at the door. Prices are supposed to be up to 80% off retail.
In previous years this sale was held in a Midtown hotel and was pretty low-key -- when MCM was a German brand whose heyday was during the tail end of the disco era -- but as you can imagine when the brand was purchased by a South Korean company and bags started to appear on the arms of Beyonce, rappers and Asian actors & popstars, the lines got longer and the prices higher. Those sales were a mix of mostly women's bags, high and low end, men's work bags, small leather goods, keychains, a few accessories like hats and dog leashes and occasionally some canvas totes. You used to also see some items that were exclusively sold outside the U.S. from time to time - I once scored a big, colorful leather hobo from Craig & Karl's first collaboration with the brand that was only sold in Shanghai for $275. I am hoping that the move to one of 260 Sample Sale's locations means that there is a lot more stock priced lower than past years.

It was on a par with LV prices, but like LV, it had many issues with fakes on top of company mismanagement.
thank you for your reply ! i ended up purchaning it and it is really beautiful and it seems genuine
Thanks for the feedback! I'm still tempted to get the mini as an errand bag. I guess I'll have to see it in store.
I didn't care for MCM until these babies came along! I was looking for the rockstar vanity case initially, but totally fell in love with the Berlin small crossbody also! [emoji7]
I checked both the mini and medium Millas in store and decided to go with the medium Milla tricolor in pale mauve. The leather and stitching look divine! I would post a photo but I'm still figuring out how to.
Yay!!! Congrats! Yep, leather and stitching of Milla are definitely superior than most of those designer bags. Can't wait for the pictures!
