I got the regular Roxy in the Platinum Luster. I do like it. Roxy took a while to grow on me, and I still look at it and think it's not as pretty as Jane, but the functionality can't be beat. That extra front pocket and side slip pockets are too darn practical.
I saw a plum frankie in fair used condition go for full retail on eBay. I do really want a dark frankie. Keep wondering if advent will offer a dark colored frankie for a discount!
Hi! Was me who won the Plum Frankie. Was not full retail ($395) and I would have to pay tax in the store so it was a bargain IMO. I even got a cosmetic case thrown in for free 
I've gotten rid of a few bags I am not using, so in my case I am happy to have plum as a part of my collection.

Most old Frankies go for a lot unless they are in bad condition. They haven't made it in many colors, and there are a lot of Frankie fanatics.
I would be happy too! I wish I could get my hands on a dark colored frankie! Congratulations. I was just really surprised that it approached retail; I've been watching lots of mzw auctions for 4-5 months ; never seen this type of resale value on any mzw before - but luv's explanation makes sense!Hi!

I think I'm spoiled because I got the river Frankie for, like 60% off, during the summer sale. Actually all three of my EUC or new mzws were around $150. And a Concord hayley for $35 that my mom is using!
Now I'm allergic to paying Normal price for a mzw! Let's see if I get desperate by the end of the year and just get one for full price or near it. I would really love a dark eggplant, navy, burgundy or hunter green, but all of these shades being super saturated and at first glance very close to black, only in daylight the tone showing clearly. That's my dream!

While you girls are on subject of Frankie, I have wondered...MZ lists handle drop as 7". No one ever complains about drop - getting over coats etc. Baby Jane is listed as 8" handle drop; and there are lots of those types of complaints about her. Is this a case of their funky measuring? Or are the straps wider set on Frankie so shorter length doesn't matter [emoji848]...
Drop seems more like 8" to me, but that could be due to the top smooshing down a bit. And it definitely helps that the handles are wider set. The close-set handles on Baby Jane are part of why it's a tighter squeeze.
The best handles ever, IMO, were on Georgie. I couldn't get onboard with other aspects of that bag but the handles never slipped due to how they were positioned. I'm carrying LaRoxy right now and even its flat handles are slipping and annoying me. I need a backpack for this darn laptop. I walked past a Tumi store this morn and didnt have time to stop but I saw a backpack that made my heart pitter patter. Will stop back to look at it again on my way back through.
I have loved some Tumi colors..the slim depth on their crossbody styles are always what turns me away...
Right?! An extra 1.5" and I'd have easily bought a few. Their older voyageur style with the two front pockets was almost perfect...
