I just recently purchased a preloved large black quilted gusset Miranda tote with silver hardware (very hard to find) to go with my large shell/suntan colorblock Miranda tote. The colorblock is for spring/summer and the black quilted is for year-round. Love them both! :love:

I've seen the large Miranda satchel in person and own a large Miranda tote. The sizing between the two is pretty close. I think the satchel is slightly narrower in depth (6 inches for the satchel instead of 7 inches for the tote) and has a shorter handle drop (6 inches for the satchel instead of 8 inches for the tote).

The soft calfskin leather of the Miranda is definitely more delicate than saffiano leather. You need to take extra special care to keep it clean (especially lighter colors) and conditioned/moisturized. It is prone to scratches, but conditioner/moisturizer can get out light scratches. Deep scratches need to be repaired at a leather goods shop. You should also treat it occasionally with rain/stain repellent.

I have a colorblock Miranda tote with ivory sides and have not yet had any problems keeping it clean. However, I did use stain/rain repellent on the entire bag, inside and out, before carrying it for the first time. My biggest fear is a pen mark or something permanent getting on there, so I make sure to keep the bag close to my person when carrying it (i.e., on my shoulder under my arm or close to my body when carrying it on my forearm or in my hand).

At 5 foot tall, I think the large will be too big for you, unless you prefer carrying large bags. I'm 5 foot 11 inches tall, so the large looks like a normal sized tote on me. I've never seen the extra small tote version in person, so can't comment on that size. However, I do know that the extra small tote has an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap, just like the large satchel.

Thank you so much for all the information, I order the stain/rain repellent to spray my bag with.

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.

Thank you Panders77 for the video, that was really helpful.
I have been wanting a Miranda for a long time now, however I am worried that the Large is too big for me as I am only 5 foot tall. I would like to ask a few questions, hopefully either yourself or other proud owners of Miranda can help me.

1. Is this new style Miranda the same size as Large Miranda Tote?
2. I have only owned Saffiano Leather from MK. Is this soft leather a lot harder to keep clean and maintain?
3. I love love love this Dune colourblock, does the light colour esp the cream on the sides easy to get dirtied or stained?
4. I was planning to get the extra small version but I was not able to find review or video.
I am worried it will be too small. It will be really if someone have mod shot or video esp comparing the extra small with the large Miranda. Appreciate that!!

Glad you enjoyed the video sweetie, and glad to see a response on all these questions the bag is too new for me to answer anything. I did order the stain/rain repellant to spay on my bag suggested by ubo22.

You're welcome. Good to hear that you got the stain/rain repellent. It should work on both leather and suede, so you should be able to spray both the outside and inside of the bag. Just avoid the fabric interior of those pockets in the large Miranda satchel!

I hope they come out with that color combo again this spring (hopefully the zip miranda !)

I don't see why not. I did call MK about the quilted gusset Miranda when I was looking for shw, and they told me the large quilted gusset tote is no longer being made. In fact, I don't think any of the large totes are still being made. The large zip top Miranda satchel will come closest. However, there is a new large Miranda tote that looks like the Jaryn tote with leather laces. So going forward into 2015 there will be a large Miranda satchel and a new large Miranda tote that looks like the Jaryn tote.
