I have 4 Mansur Gavriel buckets and 2 MK Miranda buckets. I have the Cammelo/royal, royal, sand, and peony MG buckets. I have the oleander and daffodil Miranda buckets.

In my opinion the Miranda buckets are more lux as the interior is lined with suede. I haven't had a chance to check out the new Miranda buckets, so I'm not sure if they are lined with the suede. Also the calf leather is softer (but not soft enough to lose its structure)on my Miranda buckets versus the MG calf buckets.

The MG buckets are sturdier in my opinion since the veggie tanned and calf leather used are more structured than the Miranda buckets. The veggie tanned(Cammelo/royal) one is the stiffest of them all, as why I only purchased one of veggie tanned MG bucket.

I love them all. They are pretty much function the same. I have a 4 month old, and sometimes I carry his milk bottle in my purse if I have to run a quick errand. For this reason, I've been using the MG bucket more because it would be easier to clean if the milk spilled. I would be upset if milk spilled on the suede lining of my Miranda bucket.

At the end of the day it all depends on your needs. If you planned to buy a MG in a different color, I say keep your Miranda bucket. I may sell my peony MG or my oleander Miranda bucket only because they are too close in color to one another. That would be the only reason why I would get rid of them.

Thank you for the information, unfortunately the Medium Miranda drawstring is not lined with suede. I have not seen the MG bucket IRL yet but have read about it on the forum. To me, the leather on MK Miranda is less prone to scratches? Do you agree?

I really like the MG bucket shape, looking for a Black/Flamma mini. So yes, it will be a different colour to my MK Med Miranda drawstring. Too many nice bags out there!!

I am considering the Miranda Medium Bucket - can anyone comment on the drawstring? Is it a pain to open and close??

Due to the thickness of the leather, the drawstring doesn't close the bag fully. So basically I just reach my hand in to grab my wallet etc.. There is not need to loosen or tighten the drawstring every time. However if security is an issue then you need to reconsider.

One tip: you can put a small scarf on top of your belongings.

Thanks! Yes, these are mine. They were on SALE :nuts:
I meant to spell "smooshes" in my post above……autocorrect….it just tried to do it again.

Too bad I got a pen mark on the lining - see the right side in the photo :nogood: I baby my bags but every now and then I have a teensy tiny accident. Like the time my coffee spilled in my beige Balenciaga City. The inside is fine, but it seeped through to the outside and made a huge stain the size of a salad plate. At least the bag and the coffee are the same color :cursing:

Sooo in love! On sale??? I wouldn't resist either!
I can't even notice the pen mark. Hopefully it will fade with time 😊.

I have always thought these bags were beautiful! I aim to get one someday- on sale would be great!! I didn't notice the mark until you mentioned and I had to look for it!

Melbo, your bag looks great with jeans and shirt. It really brings the the whole look together. I don't have a black bag yet so maybe I should get it in this style.
