Funny you should mention this......I was looking at my Black Crash LM today and I love the look of the handle details.....more so now than ever!!! No one else has handles like these...and I love the ribbon detail.Thanks for posting this photo ~ the Wine is so so gorgeous!!!
Between this and the LM in Wine, I think I prefer the latter as it has those wicked cool detailing on its handles and the two front zips. I believe these are also fairly close in size?
Hey Contessa, variety is the spice, ya know? I really love the leather loops for the strap closure on top ~ I think I prefer this over the metal grommets. I'm thinking this new design element will also help keep the bag closed without a need for a magnet.Funny you should mention this......I was looking at my Black Crash LM today and I love the look of the handle details.....more so now than ever!!!

And I was the one constantly bugging Jackie for rolled handles!!!! Now I'm not so sure!!!
Thanks kings_20 ~ it never occurred to me that this drawstring closure is one-sided, as I can't tell from the photos in the line sheets. Does anyone have a photo of the back-side so we can get a better look at its closure all around?It looks like the drawstring closure is only on one side on the new TMA. I think that will help secure the bag better as well. I do prefer the look of the LM as the handles are beautiful and I love the look of the 2 zips.
Thanks for the clarification Contessa! I took another look at the photos and noted subtle cinching at the top in the rear, so I wasn't sure what to think. I'm very pleased to learn it gathers all around ~ more balanced structure, wear, and aesthetics in my book!Please note that the bag has a drawstring closure and closes from BOTH sides...not one. It closes exactly like the LM only no grommets.
And the back is plain leather....no doo-dads or designs.
Hope that helps!!
I'm with you, Contessa, I also love the braided handles! In fact, I'm deeply in love with my current LM. This bag is GORGEOUS, though. Thanks so much for posting it!Funny you should mention this......I was looking at my Black Crash LM today and I love the look of the handle details.....more so now than ever!!!
