MCM - Modern Creation Munich, ("v")

[bellebellebelle19]

I wanted to share how my MCM Milla Medium bag is doing after 1.5 years of daily use!

• Purchased March 2017 from Forzieri - almost 1.5 years ago
• Daily use, but I'm careful/gentle with it
• Leather seems very durable - no scratches but a few makeup smudges that seem to wipe off. Bag seems to hold it's shape very well.
• Bottom of the bag is still perfect except for small wear on the metal feet - I guess that means they are working

What's In My Bag - iPhone 8 (not pictured), 2 zipper cosmetics bags, 2 glasses cases, hefty set of keys, full size billfold, and makeup. You could fit more but this is the most I need. Most days I carry less than this.

What's In My Bag - everything loaded up inside! I loveeeee the compartments - I know where everything is without looking. Note that in the 2nd compartment from the top, the small monogrammed interior pocket is a bit annoying and bellows outward. I never use it - it's too small for my cellphone and I put small things in the middle zipper compartment anyway. The monogram interior pocket is the one problem with this bag (at least the one I own).

Love this in depth review!!! Thanks for sharing. And your SLGs are all so pretty!!

I ended up exchanging for the gold model. The one I got today is the older version and the silver is the new version. I noticed that the new version does not open wide enough for me due to the zipper placement change, so I opted for the older model and I am soooo happy with this cutie!

Congrats! Black and gold definitely more beautiful.

Awww. Thank you! Im loving it sooo much so far. It holds so much for a tiny bag. I needed a bag like this for so long and didn't even know it!

I bought the coin purse and I really like it. I think I am going to clip the chain off because it really annoys me when I use it and I am not planning on using it as a bag charm.

Does anyone have the Klara hobo? Looking at the black in large but on the fence. What do you think of this style?

I have this bag. It’s very big, but really nice. I typically carry it by the shorter strap. I’ve found that the longer strap falls off my shoulder more unless I’m using it crossbody.

Thanks! Has it gotten more slouchy as you’ve worn it? Any issues with corner wear?

Yes, it’s breaking in nicely. The bottom of the bag has a base which helps it keep its shape. But, the top of the bag slouches more. No issues with corner wear so far. I had this bag since December, but I don’t carry it everyday.

Has anyone had issues with the MCM Monogram bags, i.e. color transfer, glazing or cracking of the leather, etc.? I just purchased the Milly Bag in Black Monogram from Nordstrom and I am thinking about ordering the newly released Essential Tote in Black Monogram. Please share any thoughts or experience you may have had with this brand.

I have a pink MCM backpack and I've worn it with dark clothing and never had any color transfer, glazing or cracking issues.

I loved MCM in the 80's then it disappeared. Since it's return, I have purchased many MCM items from the boutique and online.

Which MCM Backpack would you pick? Both are the mini size.
It will be used for running errands, casual days, etc.
I love both but can only buy one. Should I stay classic and go for Cognac or be daring and go for the rose gold?
