I used it twice and I have mixed feelings about this bag. It's very pretty and elegant but not practical. I get very worried that my bag would get scratched or scuffed... I can't put the bag on the ground... Only on my lap or beside me. Also remember to keep your hands dirt and oil free at all time... You don't want the handles to build up any oil from your hands. So I will advised to purchase some scarves to cover both handles. Secondly what I hate the most are the handles... You can either hold it with your hands or rest it buy your arms but you can't really carry it as a tote bag. I was going shopping and my arms got so sores from carrying it on my arm... Anyway hope this helps. I strongly advised you store the opening flap upright with the original stuffed. Don't flatten the quilted part because the leather can get very wrinkled.
So I just have to share this amazing luck of mine !! I purchased my scarlet miranda from bloomingdales, and today they launched their cyber monday deal (25% off) well in the cart it was automatically applied without a code so I was able to add my 15% off code which brought my total down $124 from what I paid for her originally. Unfortunately it became out of stock before I could purchase so I chatted with a rep and he honored the price for me !!! So instead of paying $613, I paid $488 !! And I also will be getting back $37 from *********** from my first order which brings it down to $450 !!! Thats over 50% offthanks for letting me share
Great deal!
The calfskin leather of the Miranda does require a bit of babying, but is definitely worth it because the bag is soooo beautiful! I don't think it's a workhorse bag like the saffiano leather ones, but can definitely hold its own as a stylish tote. Any size smaller than large will not comfortably fit over your shoulder. Even the large won't fit over a heavy coat. And a purse organizer is a must. The inside of the bag is like a big black hole!
I have a cheap Purseket purse organizer that I got long ago. It does the job. I like that it is low profile (i.e., only 5 inches tall) so doesn't get in the way of the interior pockets of MK bags. It's a long rolled piece with pockets on its interior, so can be adjusted to fit any size bag.
That's the newer Miranda satchel. I just took a look at it over the weekend at Bloomingdale's. Under the ties, it has a zip top with a zipper that completely unzips so the top flaps of the bag can completely open. It also has piping/structure on the sides similar to the Hamilton Traveler. I think it might also have a back slip pocket on the outside. Finally, it has both top handles and a shoulder strap.
I have so many satchels that I'm trying to get away from that style for a while. It's a pretty bag, but I thought the zipper might get tiresome because after you completely unzip it you have to fit the zipper back into the slot (like on a jacket) to rezip the bag. Then you have to knot the ties at the top. Just a couple too many steps for me to open and close a bag.
Yes, I use my purse organizer with all of my bags. I just pull it out with all of my stuff in it and transfer it to the current bag I'm using. The bigger the bag, the easier it is to fit inside.
So excited to join the Miranda club, I am in love with this beauty. The color combo is called Dune. I love the extra strap and the suede interior.
So pretty! How do you find the zipper/lace combination opening? Is it difficult to get open and closed?

I'm so happy that MK updated the Miranda bag!!!!! I like that it came with zipper and shoulder strap... I'm about to attach my red strap from my selma and attach to the handles to my Miranda... But I'm scared it will damage the bag.
