In the honeymoon phase. I originally ordered white from Saks that I had to return because it arrived damaged. I then discovered the red and really liked it in person when I saw it at Bloomingdales. I am not entirely sure yet if I will keep it because the white was my first love and is gorgeous in person. I would love feedback. Thanks!
Oh, yes. That's the mini pochette in there. It sitting straight up and down[emoji6] This vanity case is on the small side, but it's perfect for paring down and carrying the essentials. I'm loving it. I toss it in my Speedy 40 during the work week, and on the weekends and after work, I can grab and go easy peasy.
*And thanks so much! I've been using the same handle since the late 90's.
Get what you love! I like red, but I also love the way the backpack looks in white. It will be so nice for spring and summer. Do you worry about white getting dirty?
Looks like a perfect apple red! [emoji519] I was the opposite of you, I loved the mini backpack in pink or cognac but when trying them on the light beige color looked best to me. On my wishlist! Go with your heart!
The red color is super unique imo - I have only ever seen cognac and black MCM bags in public. One question, how well does the backpack hold its shape when loaded up with stuff?
I am probably going to return the red. While it is quite striking, I think it is just too much red and I would like it better with a little more black trim, which would make the gold pop more. I also had purchased the blue jean color, which I am currently wearing and like a bit better. I believe the MCM bags hold their shape fairly well, given the material is quite thick. While I have loved the brand since forever, ironically this will be my first.
Yes, I would worry all the time about color transfer. I have a beautiful yellow Alexander McQueen tote that I rarely wear because I am afraid to get it dirty. How stupid is that. I do not want to have to worry about my bags, which is why I probably will not get the white.
The pink bag is the dual stark. It's really cute. The front part detaches and you can use it as a clutch or cross body purse ( comes with a long strap).
Anyway, I personally like MCM. I think their style is fun (hence the attraction to the younger crowd), but it can work for someone who is older. I've been researching on the perfect backpack to get and I think MCM has one of the best styles for a slightly cheaper price point!

I love them! I actually have a couple of their "special" crystal embellished bags which were more expensive than my LV bags.
Wow! Beautiful bag. It's got that edge-y vibe with all the embellishments. ❤
I prefer my large liz for travel by plane over my GM DE neverfull. I can jam it under a plane seat or overhead compartment and forget about it. It's black so the dirt and stains dont show and it's easy to clean. The leather trim is soft and pliable, not hard coated like my neverfull 
where I worry about cracking straps and strange creases. It folds completely flat too. It's perfect IMO.

Ladies, I just saw your posts and had to say hello to my Sorors who are eyeing the pretty pink bag.

Sorry, I know this is an older post, but I am jus going through the thread now. Which one did you end up deciding on? I bought the small size because I am only 5'2". The medium looks like a backpack and could've worked for me IMO, but I went for the small because it looked more like an everyday bag and it's enough to fit a few essentials like an extra diaper and change of clothes. I wish it had a compartment to hold a water bottle though. I basically didn't want the backpack look for myself, but the medium will definitely fit more. It's more the school backpack size.
