This is your quote from the Show Us Your MK Bags thread. :smile1:


FYI, large is humongous due to its 7 inch depth. I use mine mostly as a travel tote and when I need a large, soft, flexible, leather tote to overstuff. My large Mirandas are my biggest MK bags by far.

So now I'm thinking that MK discontinued the small tote and replaced it with the x-small tote with the shoulder strap.

~ 13" x 13.5" x 7" = large
~ 11" x 12" x 6" = medium (or no size specified; some retailers label this large; depth is sometimes 6.5")
~ 10.5" x 11" x 6" = small (not currently being sold at retailers)
~ 8.5" x 9" x 5.5" = x-small w/shoulder strap

Wonderful! Looks like we're figuring this out. I only wanted to buy so I could take comparison pics and then return. No way would I have 3 Mirandas in black! Hehe. Sophie has 7" depth and I love that, but she isn't that tall. Medium is the most I would go on the Miranda.

That's the x-small tote. I'm not convinced those are the right measurements, though. Sometimes they include the wings in the width measurement and round the depth measurement up to the nearest inch. And sometimes they measure the height to where the top flap folds and not to the top of the front piece of leather.

That's what I thought. They can't really add a strap to the regular sized Miranda because the leather would tear. They'd have to add extra leather/padding and it would take away from the simplistic look. The Miranda Satchel must be their answer to their strap "demand".

I'm not sure how in demand the Miranda satchel is/was. I haven't heard much about it.

I have her really stuffed. Maybe I should remove some stuffing? 😰😓

No, no, no...keep her stuffed! That's the best way to take care of her. I was just commenting that the small Miranda is pretty large compared to other MMK bags. Your comparisons thread is awesome! :D

TY and just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Would hate to bust her seams or stretch out her leather... Eeek!

I found an old listing of my Miranda! She was listed as " Trapeze Tote". My tag matches the ID# on the site! Only difference is the stitching on the back of mine goes vertical and not horizontal like the stock pic. Good to know there is a trace of her existence, lol! I can finally be at peace 😊😸

So the small actually existed at one time. I thought so! Good to know. :smile1:

Melbo, I just looked at this again because it's a part of Saks' F&F sale. Comparing to how they measured the other size Mirandas, it looks like it is really 11" x 11.5" x 6" which is close to how we measured the medium size. Because it is sueded snakeskin, it is the same retail price as my large calfskin leather Miranda. I don't know why they've labeled it a small, and I don't know how they've added a shoulder strap to a Miranda that size. Weird.

Who knows why they do anything! Lol. I'm not into snakeskin (yet?) but maybe they changed the manufacturing process so the shoulder strap could hold more weight? It is strange.

I need your opinions. I've been debating since yesterday about ordering the vanilla ex-small miranda from Saks Fifth Avenue friends and family sale. The possibility of color transfer has held me from purchasing it. Also what color clothing can you match a bag this color with? I'm pretty sure it's safe to say nothing dark colored. Should I pull the trigger or wait for another offer to pop up.

I was going to order the black but it's on pre-order and does not qualify for the discount :(
