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.

I agree, Ubo. The only Miranda's that I saw were the extra small. The black & blue leather combo for Fall looks really good but it's in the small size. I've already started looking at resale sites. I've found a couple of in Luggage & Navy & a Black on with Grommets. The Grommet one looks good but I'm not sure how I would like it. I have a Grommet Selma & love her but just not sure about the Grommets in the softer leather. My first choice is with the quilted gusset but those are a little few & far between, especially in a year round color. I've found them in pink, yellow, white, & grey but those are not color's I'm looking for. I'm really leaning toward a black one but that one is scarce, especially one that's in good condition. Most of the ones I've seen have a lot of external wear. Some look like the top flaps have been crushed because they don't lay properly & look all wonky. I have found a couple of Luggage that look to be in great shape & minimally used so I think I'm watching them closely.

One question...Is the Miranda easy to reshape if it's been flattened or stored improperly?

I haven't really used my Miranda because my concern the sagging process and also scratch marks. It's been sitting on my selves for a year. Do you ladies recommend get a structure bag organizer/shaper to maintain the shape?

Aww, you really should use them. If these are your concerns and what is preventing you from using them I think you should invest in a shaper. As far as scratches, I would just continue cleaning and conditioning and use them. Unless there are gouges, I wouldn't hesitate to keep using them.

I'm still debating if i should get the organizer because it will cost over $50-$60, I won't be carry the bag anytime soon but i'll definitely use it by next spring.

:D But I can't be the only one that like touching and carrying the bag around the house. This is what i usually do when I admire my expensive bags >.<"

Well, ladies...she arrived today & I couldn't be happier!! :yahoo::woohoo::happydance: Ubo, you were right...she's magnificent!! And in perfect condition...not a mark on her but a couple of tiny scratches on 2 of the feet! I'm on :cloud9:

Now if I can just get my laptop to recognize my phone so I post pics. I may have to get the camera because this laptop is just refusing to cooperate with me tonight. If I can't get it to load, I'll have to wait til my hubby brings the camera home from work so I can take pics tomorrow & post. I've already given her a good conditioning so she will be ready to go out for her debut! I still cannot believe the deal I got! I finally got my first Miranda & I'm already looking at another! :graucho:

To be honest, I don't think you have much to worry about. When I first got my Miranda, she hadn't been stuffed for a while, so when I'd set her down she would sag. I've been stuffing her when not in use and she no longer collapses. Scratches are something I used to worry about but not anymore. I only use my Miranda once in a while, so that minimizes the risk of an accident. Regardless, I'm not worried. I've scratched a purse with some bangles and leather conditioner really smoothed it out. It didn't dissappear but it definitely minimized the appearance. Everything will deteriorate with time, so I say enjoy your bags to the max &#128522;.

I'd be scared to death t fool around with trying to reshape a Miranda. I have done it with Coach and regular MK leather cowhide bags by wetting them and shaping them while they dry and it always worked well, but isn't the Miranda made of Lamb leather?? Plus it looks to padded inside, so I would be too scared to experiment on such an expensive bag. Best bet is to keep looking, although it looks like you found just what you need! lol! GORGEOUS!! I am just flabbergasted! lol!
