I'd say choose between plum and brick. The two colours are rich and unique. Not many handbag brands offer these colours. You're sure to get some compliments on the bag.

Diamond Grommet Selma <swoon> anyone seen in IRL or have a photo. I wish the sale were 30% off. Miffed that Macy's and other stores don't seem to have this one
I have not even seen it in the store yet dying to see it ... I feel like stores don't have plum yet
If I truly thought it was an MK exclusive I might ask if they would honor 30% F&F someone mentioned. But I don't think the SAs there know anything about the bags, even the managers!!! It has a very royal or regal look to it. My luck I would buy it and a month later, when too late to return it shows up at Macys and ends up on sale plus 20 or 25%
I wish all stores would honor that without us having to ask I would have bought a purse there
Exactly! They used to have better sales than what they have on the site now. I remember last year this time over a certain $ was 30%
Ok, so just out of curiocity I stumbled by Zalando today and came across all these new colors! Seems like "brick" and cognac are replacing merlot from last fall? And terrakotta is to cover the rust color flowing into fashion this fall? View attachment 3451608View attachment 3451609 View attachment 3451610View attachment 3451612
I think I need that Ava in my life...

I stopped by one of the MK Boutiques after my dr appt today. They did have a few Moss green items & did have the Moss Mercer. The color of Moss is very similar to Malachite but I did not have my Malachite Selma with me for a comparison. I will go back later this week & take the Selma with me to compare & get pics of them side by side. Honestly, I don't like how the Mercer feels. Yes, the interior of the bag is Saffiano with the middle zipped compartment lined with a new style fabric lining. I asked the SA & manager about the "bonded leather" & they said it's 100% pebble leather on the outside. I'm not sure I believe that because the bag is very light to be both pebble leather & Saffiano leather, plus the fact that it just doesn't feel right. I was very drawn to the style but I'm not sure the size will be large enough for my needs & I just don't like how it feels. This bag is lighter than the large Selma & I'm concerned that it won't hold it's structure very well with use. It's a shame.
I also looked at the large Savannah in Plum. While I like the Savannah as it's similar to the Mercer but a little larger, I absolutely hate the shiny Saffiano the Plum bag is made of. I much prefer the Plum in the regular Saffiano. The color looks richer. The shiny Saffiano looks like plastic!
I asked if it would come in the regular Saffiano but the manager doesn't think so. I'll have to check into that as well.
On the other hand, I did buy the Moss fur pom. It was a spontaneous purchase so it wasn't on sale but that's fine. It would be my luck the Moss would be all gone before they went on sale anyway. It looks fantastic on the Malachite Selma, by the way.
Here's a pic of the Mercer I took at the store. Their lighting sucks. I'll post pics of the Moss & Malachite once I go back later in in the week.

Thanks so much, cdtracing, for your thoughts and picture. I think you're the second person who has said they didn't like the feel of this new "bonded leather." The SA saying it's 100% pebble leather on the outside doesn't mean anything. Pebble leather is just leather that has a pebble texture on the skin. That texture can be natural or embossed on leather. Therefore, it can be embossed on "bonded leather." Very sneaky of them to keep calling it pebble leather instead of bonded leather...very misleading!I stopped by one of the MK Boutiques after my dr appt today.

Can I see the moss Pom?
When I asked them about the "bonded leather" & they said it was 100% pebble leather, I explained to the the definition of bonded leather. They assured me this bag is made of complete leather exterior & Saffiano interior. I think I'll call Bullsh*t on that since this bag is too light to be made of 100% leather sheets bonded to Saffiano leather. JMO
Absolutely! Here's a pic I just took of it on the Malachite. I think it looks awesome. They had the Plum & the Natural in the store as well. I may get another one but I'm going to wait til they go on sale....unless I find something in Plum that I like.
