Michael Kors Miranda Tote Club

Sharing this to tempt you
Today is the first time I took it out since I purchased it back in Dec.14.
Still not 100% sure if I want to keep it as the leather is so smooth and delicate.
To be honest, after using it today, it may be very difficult to let it go.
I think I'm spoilt by Saffiano leather....something I never have to baby and worry about.

Oh my gosh, you are cruel!! She is lovely! You know, I used to be scared of anything other than saffiano, but after purchasing my hammy traveler I got over that fear. She's also made of calf leather. She got scratched with my Alex and Ani bracelets but after applying leather conditioner it "healed". I even got dye transfer off with the conditioner! I baby it so much and don't mind because it's love 😏😊
Don't let go of your Mirada! Condition her and enjoy her! Maybe you could buy another bag in calf skin so you can get used to the leather? I find that in my case, it helped me immensely.
P. S. My Sophie is also made out of calf leather and I didn't even hesitate. I got over the fear and so can you! :-P ❤😊

You are very pretty and I love your bags!
I also bought something micro stud and haven't used it yet, due to fear.
Yes I need to get use to my Miranda leather. It's great reassurance to know that the leather conditioner will help minor scratches. I also bought the Apple product to use on my Miranda (cleaner and conditioner). I got the MK spray for protectant.

The next bag to unwrap will be my microstud, maybe next week.
If I do take it out then I will post a photo. Excited and feels like Xmas!

Thank you for the compliment, you are very kind! Your bags are gorgeous as well 😊
Please do use your Miranda! The Apple conditioner works so well. MK has a year warranty so if something were to happen I'd rather know before it's over. Only by using it can i decide how it holds up.

Finally get to see your Miranda. This color combo is really pretty. You should definitely keep it and use it.

I'm in Sydney Australia and hope the bags won't have problem.
This Ex Small Miranda I purchased from NM, imagine if something goes wrong...

My Medium Selma in Mandarin was purchased here in Australia and we only get 6 months warranty. I have had it for more than that and it's holding up so well.

You are so right that I should test these babies out before it reaches its warranty period.
Never thought of that and thanks for pointing it out.

Lol....yes finally! I have been taking it in and out of the dust bag.
Tried it many times at home and unsure of how to wear it without the shape changing.
I think the strap is a little too long for me (carried on one shoulder) as I'm only 147 cm tall.
I will need to get use the smooth delicate leather, always worried and checking it.

Thank you for showing me photos of how you tie yours to make it stay closed.
Are you worried that the knot will ruin the leather on the tie strips in the long run?
Trying to figure out if there is a better way to make it stay put as my knot still gets loose at times. And it's not that easy to get things in and out of the bag at the moment.

I think the bag is totally out of my comfort zone and therefore it took me four months to break it out!

I think it is a great bag and will age nicely. Pretty sure the knot will stay in that shape but it's ok to me cause I plan on keeping it that way. It's like a slip knot for me in which I can open and close my bag fairly easy. I do tighten it every so often. I think it just takes getting used to. With such a beautiful bag, I'm sure you'll get used to it.

She's here!!!

Let's see.

 

[melbo]

The first thing I noticed was how amazing she smelled! Rich and luxurious! Leather is sooo soft and gorgeous! She was a store display, so hardware is a little more scratched than I would have liked, so seller adjusted the price. Apparently seller had in stock for a while so she was willing to negotiate . Scratches don't look as bad as they do in the pictures, so I can live with them. Got the color and size I was looking for. I am ecstatic!!

Here's another one pic. Chilling on the table while I do computer work. I want a whole collection of Miranda's.. One is not enough!

WOW $275 is a steal for a Miranda. Congrats she is lovely!

Seller lives a couple hours away, so shipping was adjusted. She was super accomodating. The only thing the bag didn't have is care card, but she still has the price tag and I feel like that's more important. 😊

Melbo, congratulations on your new Miranda. She's so pretty and exactly what you wanted. Great price, too. Next, we need mod shots! LOL!
