MJ Chat Thread

[Mimmy]

My MbMJ goodie arrived. I have been stalking this for at least 1 1/2 yrs.

It is from the final MbMJ collection that was a collaboration with Disney. I have not read or seen Alice in Wonderland, but once I saw this case, I needed one.



I missed out on a small silver pouch like this. I am now glad that I did, as this one is large and the color is called ‘singing rose’.

I found more info on the design. It is from an archival sketch from the Disney movie.

This post may have contained too much information. @faith_ann probably knows all of this already. Although I’m pretty certain that she is more into MJ, not MbMJ.

For the other 2 to 3 people that occasionally participate in this thread, I thought that it might be of interest. [emoji3]

I'm happy for you that you finally found it! The This Way zip pulls are cute.

This is a fabulous piece, Mimmy! I reread Alice in Wonderland every couple of years, and I've seen the movie several times. So I'm finding all the imagery quite charming.
How large is this pouch? The color is fabulous! And the lining... wow!

Thank you, ElainePG!

The pouch is 8.5 in wide and 5.75 in high, so a fairly large size.

I am a yoga devotee, and carry just a wallet, phone and keys to class. After class I often go shopping; grocery or otherwise, and end up juggling my wallet, phone and keys. This will easily fit these items and more. My other pouches/clutches are much larger or dressier, so I think this one will work out perfectly. [emoji7]

I plan to either read Alice in Wonderland, watch the movie or both.[emoji897]

I also love the lining, the quirky zippers and the color, ‘singing rose’.

May I suggest both the book and the movie, if you have the time? They are entirely different. And if you do decide to read the book, I'd recommend the one with the original illustrations (by Sir John Tenniel). They are black & white sketches, and thoroughly charming. Completely different from the Disney animation, which are also charming, but in a completely different way.

Thank you, ElainePG. I found a 150 year anniversary edition of the book with all 42 original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel on Amazon, and have purchased it upon your recommendation.

I will read this first and then watch the movie. [emoji3]

Enjoy it! I think you'll have fun reading it... not just for kids!

So glad you found it! Alice in Wonderland is my favorite Disney cartoon movie. I have the Cheshire Cat phone case from this collection...there were so many great pieces in this collaboration.

Thanks, eehlers!

I also have a phone case; I’m not sure of the actual name. It has the singing flowers on it.

Hi. I'm not sure where to post this, but I was hoping someone could help me out. I have been eyeing a few mj bags and I have been asking for the model tag and made in tag so that they could be authenticated. However, I've come across three sellers that say that they can't find the model tags in the bag. The latest one I've come across is a lil ukita bag and the seller says she bought it 5 years ago from David Jones (department store in Australia), and she said she could only find the made in tag but there were no other tags in the bag. Is this a sign of a fake bag or are there mj bags out there that don't contain the model tag? Thank you

Hi Everyone!

Watched the MJ Fall 2018 Runway Show. Seems like overall MJ received good reviews.

All the fur in his show was faux. [emoji3]


I have no idea what I would do with this pink faux fur stole, but it is my favorite thing from this collection. Maybe I could just cuddle up in it to watch tv.

My ‘favorite’ look; and I’m really only lukewarm on this. I don’t think that this will translate into anything that I can wear, especially in FL.

SMH on this one. I am thin, but this is painful for me to look at.



A few looks with bags. Probably nothing that I will/would buy. I will hold judgment until I see what hits the retail market.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi, Mimmy!
I watched the show, and couldn't figure out where he was going with all those wide-brimmed hats. Was it a push-back to the reaction he got a couple of years ago to the multicolored wigs? And the super-wide shoulders (I mean, MAJOR shoulder pad action going on!) reminded me of styles I thought I had gratefully left behind in the 1980s, along with feathered-back hair and turquoise eyeshadow.
Agree with you about the models being painfully thin. I thought fashion was getting away from the anorexic look?
I guess I liked the bags, though.
