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!

Frankies have only been released in a handful of colors so they are rare gems when you can get a hold of them. The bag seems to be in pretty good condition (the seller emailed me afterwards saying she found another stain on an inner pocket and was allowing me to back out, but then the stain cleaned right out). I have been on a bag purge so I don't mind spending for one I will really wear. I think that will complete my collection of Frankies unless they release in marcasite. It arrived today but I wont be able to grab until tomorrow. Will post pictures!

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.

yes, that must be it! No issue with Frankie handles but hate baby Jane sometimes.

One Frankie gripe I have is that they have not released it in a wide enough variety of colors. That finally changed this year with River and Tiger Eye - love them both. Prior to that, they've only done black and dark purple-ish colors...I'm broadly including Bordeaux in that group even though it's not exactly purple...but not far enough away either! I agree that gray would be amazing, and I would also die for navy with gold hw, and a dark, dark green like my beloved Moss. I had Bordeaux but sold because the straps hurt. I never used it for that reason. I love my others and use them all...time to bring out Tiger Eye. Perfect for this season.

Tumi has some really good looking backpacks right now. I keep wanting to get a tumi bag, but their xbs aren't deep enough for me. Might follow Luv's lead and get a pack instead!

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...

Yes! Great colors! That's what sucks you in. I saw a wine-ish color in what was I think the Voyageur backpack. It has a laptop pocket! I will report back after I check it out.

OMG yes that color was Wine in nylon...a current color that might still pop back up and they had a beautiful canvas version too..I saved a pic; it too may be temporarily out of stock...

Hi Reba, now there's a burgundy HB. I quite like the taupe (light brown) too. It seems like endless sale on HB recently. Is it a norm or year end thing? I bought the black with g/hw regular size over the weekend. Hope I like it :)

It is kind of a normal thing..they are one of those retailers that are always having some kind of Sale. Kind of drives me nuts. The classic colors..like your Black with Gold hw, are more limited in special pricing. I am sure you will love. The hard part will be resisting all the pretty colors they continually tempt you with thereafter...but, you already know that agony thanks to MZ! Let me know your thoughts after you get your backpack [emoji309]!
