Thanks for the link! I watched the video, which I liked because the woman modeling the bag is just about my height, so I could get a sense of how the bag would look on me!

I agree with you; I like bags with mixed metals. But in this case, I can't see the point of the short (gold? brass?) chain. The description says it's for arm carry, but then what do you do with the longer chain? It doesn't unhook, so it would just flop around.

Someone in the MJ design department didn't think this one through, which is probably why it's so deeply reduced! :hrmm:

Now that is interesting. I like that each section of the strap is a different type of link and width, so it's not just a colour contrast but also a link contrast between sections of the strap.

This is a far better than the attempt of mixed metal chains on the bag. I liked the double link bag online and in videos, but in person and it just didn't work. The chains made a lot of noise when I picked up and put down the bag, and somehow the shape of the bag didn't suit the idea.

The strap is something I'd consider buying and I can see it working beautifully with my Gotham crossbody. It will be interesting to see what else he puts out with the mixed metals.

I am adopting a new to me handbag and here it is. Colour is Newsprint: She is making her way over to me from the United Kingdom now. She will be right at home next to all of my other *Natasha* handbags in various sizes and colours, especially well-placed near my petal to the metal cross-body pouchette. :heart:

Second purchase today is a petal to the metal in pink. This one was from the Real Real. Ok. Ban Island, here I come. Row, Row Row my boat, gently up the stream.

I feel silly posting such an old bag as a new thread so I thought I might post here. I don't have anybody in my life that will get excited about this with me. I have been in love with this bag, since I first started collecting years ago. I mostly bought Rebecca Minkoff bags and Kate Spade bags as they were 'in my price range'. But this MJ bag was one of my 'holy grails'. I've always kept my eyes peeled for this bag, and it's popped up a few times but typically I missed out or it wasn't a good time to buy it. Recently I've decided to declutter a bunch of my bags I haven't carried in forever, and told my husband that I wasn't going to buy any more...well low and behold what pops up in Craigslist... Thanks for letting me yammer here, I'm just so happy to have her finally! Tis is the sellers pic!View attachment 4187235
I've just have recently purchased my final PTTM to go into my Natasha collection - a red one. The many compartments work perfectly for both work and casual. My red one is in the mail and it should be here in a few days. Marc by Marc had it down with all of the compartments in this fabulous design. Not a "black hole" handbag.

A great, classic design... and such a gorgeous color. :heart::heart::heart:
