Michael Kors Miranda Tote Club

[cdtracing]

After obsessively researching how to care for snakeskin, I've given in - I was overthinking it all. I love this bag and I'm keeping it This is the small miranda, a size they don't appear to make anymore, in sunbeam snakeskin. I've been trying to find a black, classy bag for work and this is the one [emoji7]View attachment 2990414

This is a gorgeous bag. It's such an elegant bag! I wish this came in a medium or large.

Medium Black and Small Vanilla, view 1.

Love these two, especially the black one! Both are gorgeous!

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.

Definitely get the Miranda for your black bag! I just carried my black Miranda today and fell back in love with it. Every time I carry it I don't want to switch out.

I'm looking at a couple of Miranda bags. One is leather with the quilted sides & the other is a Python bag. Both are large in size. I really love the Python bag but I'm a little concerned that since the handles are also Python, the scales will rub off with wear. So...for you ladies who have Mirandas, I would greatly appreciate your input. Since this is going to be an expensive bag, I want to get the most bang for my buck. And I'm also a little indecisive about the color if I go with the leather. I really like black but I already have 5 (I think) black MK bags so I'm not sure if I should get another color. So ladies, what do you think? I would especially like to hear from those who have a Python on how they hold up. And from those who have the large size...do you find it too big?

cdtracing, you know I love big bags and the large Miranda is no exception. I don't think it's too big at all. In fact, I like to carry it on days when I have a lot of stuff, but still want a semi-structured, compact, soft leather tote to carry it in. I can't say enough good things about the Miranda. It's such a luxurious bag with the suede lining and ALWAYS looks great with whatever you wear with it. I don't have the python one, but I find between my colorblock and black one that I definitely get more use out of the black one. I adore my colorblock, too, but restrict myself to only carrying it when I'm wearing lighter colored clothing in the spring/summer. My black one can be carried year-round with any outfit. I also love the quilting on my black one. It makes the bag look a bit more plush and unique. I even love touching the side quilting because it's so smooshy yet still helps the bag hold its shape.

Good luck with your decision. I know you'll make the right choice for you.

Thanks, Ubo. I've been looking at several different designer bags lately but I keep coming back to the Miranda. I've decided I'm going to take the plunge but am looking for a great price & for input from those who have them. I'm going to be headed back down to the Boutique that sells the MK Collection in my area to look again.

I have a quilted one and 2 small ones. I love them especially the quilted one. It hold alot and is still comfortable to carry, I always feel my look is elevated somehow when carrying it and I always get compliments. I can't say anything about the python one's except they are also gorgeous. Good luck with your choice. Whichever way you decide, I don't think you can go wrong with the Miranda.

Thanks, Luvbug! I'm in the mood for a high end bag & have been looking at several designers over the past couple of months but I can't seem to get the Miranda off my mind. I've even been looking at the MK Skorpios, the Gracie, & the Lexi, but I still like the Miranda better. Unfortunately, the only large Mirandas on his site are the Elephant color block or the really high dollar Crocodile. But, I don't think I will be satisfied until I get one. Like Ubo, I love large bags & that's why I think the large would suit me. I'm quite tall so I can pull off the big bag look. I guess I need to find a leather one in a color I want. I really like the quilted ones so hopefully, I can find one.

Well, Ladies, after lengthy emails for the past couple of days, I bought a Black White Python Miranda. The seller bought it, carried it once & decided she didn't like it. The pictures she sent shows it's in outstanding condition with only a couple of scratches on 2 of the feet. The other 2 still have the protective plastic on it. She offered it to me at a price I could not pass up. She just wanted to get rid of it. The order has been confirmed & she's to ship it out Monday. I still want a leather Miranda with quilted sides if I can find one. I'll post pictures when she arrives.

I've got a serious itch for the Miranda & I'm on a major hunt for a leather one. The Hubby is going to take me to Phipps Plaza in ATL tomorrow after church so I can prowl the MK store, Neimans, Bloomingdales, & Saks. Who knows what I will find. I'm in the mood to buy!!

Woo hoo! Congrats and can't wait to see it! So exciting

Here's one of the pictures she sent, Luvbug. I can't wait to see it IRL. I've already started researching the care for snake skin to find out what is recommended. I'll want to make sure I keep this leather conditioned.

I'm also looking at another Python Miranda in browns & golden tones. I just might have to get that one too.

Thank you, Ladies. I hope to have her by the end of the week. Anticipation!!

I was very disappointed with the 2 boutiques in the ATL area that sells the Michael Kors Collection. Their selection was dismally minimal. The only Miranda's they had were the extra small, one or 2 Casey, no Lexi or Skorpios bags at all, much less some of the newer high end styles. The SA told me Michael Kors did not do a large Leather Miranda for Fall 2015. The only ones the can order are the Elephant color block or the Crocodile in the large size. How disappointing. Not a large selection of bags from either collection, actually. I did see a few Lexi & Skorpios bags at Saks & Nordstroms. In fact, those stores had more of a selection of styles than the boutiques. But Hubby & I had a nice time. He found a Roberto Coin diamond bracelet that he thought was very unique & kept asking how I liked it. Who knows, if I'm lucky, I might find it in my stocking at Christmas. LOL

When I was searching for my black quilted gusset Miranda with shw last year, I was told by MK CS that they were no longer producing the large leather Mirandas. Shortly thereafter, they came out with the elephant color. But MK hasn't since come out with any new ones. You may need to find what you're looking for on the reseller sites.
