MCM - Modern Creation Munich, ("v")

[Murphy47]

LOL! You are right!
I bought that HEAVY Opium, too.......................

I still wear Opium.
However it's a drop on the décolletage, not the 3 sprays of the 80's.
I always LOVED MCM, living in Vegas in the 80's they were everywhere.
What goes around comes around fee sure.

I still have my Opium bottle...I don't think perfume goes bad.
I'm going to give it another sniff. LOL!

MCM bags have been around for decades. They went out of fashion and are now coming back. Their Liz tote is similar to the Neverfull but half the price and it's reversible. I like it.

+1

The quality in the 80 was just great, my college duffel survived 5 years of bludgeoning service. Dunno about newer batches, though.

I think it's nice that a company is doing their own thing and not chasing the same market all the others seem to be.

The bags seem 'young', happy and fun, good for them and their website is great for a bit of entertainment.

One of my mother's sig fragrance is Opium (that and Lanvin's Arpege). SLP/YSL just launched a new 'variation' of Opium called Black Opium (Opium for rock-chicks ). I hate that variation thing, stick to the real stuff.

Well, the bags, not so much. But the wallet...I love mine!

They were huge in the 80s. Everything was huge in the 80s, of course, but logo bags and ostentation were considered high style back then. Along with shoulder pads and ruffles and big perfumes like Poison and major updo's and perms. More was more back then.

Yes they were! I remember some girls carried the speedy style in high school. I had a love-hate for the brand back then. I liked the color & styles, but not the logo. I could never get into their logo.

I don't really remember the logo bags.
I remember the world map ones that were EVERYWHERE and copied on everything.
Wish I'd bought one now.

I love that wallet! How is the leather holding up? I've thought about getting the WOC that's like that.

Hey girls!

So I've been looking at lots of bags lately, and I have to say... I just don't "get" MCM bags! Why have they become so "in" lately? Do you like them? I think they're way too expensive for what they are... Please help me understand!

Thanks

i agree too plus that oragng-ey color throws me off with their logo everywhere.

Thanks and the leather is very good. I have this for 2 years and still very nice.

I don't get them either. The look of the bags seems "too" young for me.

Do you mean the Alviero Martini Map bags? I have a Boston. They are still going and very popular but it's a different company.

MCM are German (though apparently taken over by foreign investors) AM is Italian.

I had a crossbody. It was too small for me so I gave it away, but it was a very well made bag.
