I work with Michelle and love her....this is a great MK store. I am loving this miranda ...beautiful bag. I especially like the quilted ones ...Enjoy!!!Let me know what you think of her.
I adore the sales associates there -- except the ones in Versace and Gucci (incredibly snooty). They are so nice in all the stores. On stressful work days I pop into the galleria and it literally melts away my stress. It's my Tiffany's!

Definitely will. I'm pretty sure I saw it there last time. I'll take a photo and show you when I'm back.
I've been using my bag everyday going into work and really do love her. The leather is smooth and supple.
I just purchased a suntan color block one and am awaiting it's arrival. How has everyone's Miranda's been holding up? I called MK online and was told that it was made of French Calf Leather. I'd be curious to know how to maintain and care for this type of leather? I would not want this beauty to get ruined! Thanks for any advice!
I also just purchased the shell/suntan colorblock Miranda. I love it, but still have it wrapped up in the protective cardboard. With calfskin leather, you have to be extremely careful not to let it get scratched. It's also advisable to pre-treat it with a stain/water repellant. Since I haven't even treated mine yet, I'm keeping it wrapped up until I can find the time to do so.
Hmm...I hope this doesn't become an issue for me! I do like to take care of my bags but I certainly want to use them! I'm assuming the pebbled leather would be better on wear? Once I get the bag, if I love it that much will consider maybe a pebbled one, however I found the sizing a little strange?? The large east/west comes in various sizes? The one I just purchased says the measurements 13x13 but the other larger ones, vary in size. This was confusing to me as I wanted the largest size available. Any comments on sizing?
I do think the pebbled leather versions may be slightly better for wear, but I actually don't like the look of pebbled leather over the smooth calfskin leather. I purchased the shell/suntan colorblock Miranda from one retailer and then returned it because I found a better price at another retailer. However, I noticed that one had more of a pebbled leather look while the other was smooth calfskin. I kept the smooth calfskin bag.
With regard to sizing, you're right. The "large" Mirandas are listed by the retailers with different sizes depending on the style. I noticed that the "large" is sometimes 13x14x7 (colorblock calfskin leather and snakeskin versions) and other times 13x10x7 (quilted and sueded snakeskin versions). The 13x10x7 is actually the regular size, not the large size. 13x14x7 is the largest size E/W Miranda available, and that's what I got. So you also got the largest size available in the E/W Miranda.
I like the smooth look better as well..
Will you let me know what you are using to protect the leather? I really want to carry this in my travels...but I won't if I have to look after it too much....I guess we will see. Also out of curiosity as this is my first high end MK bag, will it come w/a box and dust bag other than the Michael Michael Kors dust bag? I guess I'm a little impatient even though looks like the bag will be here on Saturday!
Thanks for all the replies!I use Apple Brand Garde Rain & Stain Repellent. I've been using it for years on the vachette (untreated leather) of my LV bags and it can be used on any untreated leathers or suede. To be safe, you should first spray on a hidden area of the bag to check for colorfastness and, if any color rubs off, then the leather/suede is not colorfast and should not be treated.I like the smooth look better as well..

I purchased my Miranda online and it came exquisitely wrapped. It had MK paper stuffed inside, all the pulls and laces were wrapped in soft tissue paper, the inside and outside of the bag was lined with a thin cardboard all the way up to the handles on the outside, the outside of the bag was then wrapped in more MK tissue paper over the cardboard, and then everything was placed in a plastic bag that was taped closed at the top. It also comes with a nicer dustbag than the MK bags in the regular line. The dustbag is a thicker brown fabric similar in thickness to an LV dustbag.
I hope this helps. I'm sure Saturday can't come soon enough for you!
Congratulations! She looks great! I got the version with the suntan handles, shell front, and ivory sides, so a bit different than yours.
