Old school (new to me!) RM collection!

I was feeling inspired by people wanting some more action in this forum! I started learning about the RM line around Christmas. I’ve slowly amassed a bit of a collection and it’s been so fun! I’ve sold a few that I’ve bought out of guilt because I was feeling like a bit of a hoarder [emoji23] But I keep finding treasures that I can’t resist.



...

Evergreen MAM with resort hardware and paisley lining: I love this one for going out. MAM’s are like the perfect size!

...

Matinee with fleur de lis lining: what color is this? Eggplant? Berry? It’s so nice. I’ve used it as my daily purse ever since I got it. The leather is the best of them all. It is so so so nice!

Your bags are all so pretty!

I want an Emerald MAB, and your Evergreen is gorg!

If Berry came with fleur de lis (I don't remember), I'd stake my bets on that. I though Berry had black and white paisley lining though (a white background than fleur de lis which is black). What color is the suede on the flaps? Here's a post from forever ago that shows a Berry matinee with its suede showing. It's a dark photo, but it should be enough for you to tell if it's that. Also take a look at the color of the zipper track on the front pocket. Hers looks lighter, but I think it's probably the same.

Here's another post that compares Eggplant and Berry (the first few pics are these two colors; the last has wine). Eggplant had a distinctive stiff texture compared to a softer (and more "typical") RM leather. Again, yours looks a lot more like Berry to me.

ETA: Here's a few really good photos of Eggplant Mattie.

I can’t exactly tell! I feel like it looks more like eggplant but it could have darkened some over time and was more bright when it was new! Thanks for the pics, I’ll analyze them some more haha.

Oh, the underside suede color is a chocolate brown.

I love the linings too! I still want an old school black and white floral but I’m not sure which to get because I most def do not need anything else ha. I find I use the MAM’s the most (until I got the Matinee).

I have two bags with the b/w floral, it's my favorite lining!

Well, ended up using my Mini Nikki in periwinkle instead haha, but there is some black in the lining.

I want this bag in every color she made.

I love that color! I had a Nikki but I sold it thinking I would never use it. I’m really regretting it because of the color of dark green it was. Oh well! I’m eyeing a black mini Nikki, maybe you’re convincing me [emoji23]

I purchased a matinee off eBay on Sunday and it still does not show that the seller shipped it, which I find kind of odd and also a bit annoying.

Oh bummer! Hmm that is quite a long time. I hope it’s a simple mix up. Sometimes mine will show as preshipped for days then show up as scanned in my city.

I hate when it’s one I really want or got a great deal on and it’s stalled! I’ve had a few cancel. I actually just had that happen but the seller says they’ll relist it when they’re back in town [emoji22]

The seller hasn’t even printed up the shipping label yet, assuming they use eBays shipping labels. If I hear nothing by Sunday I’ll message them and see from there. They say patience is a virtue!

It sounds like you’ve gone through a couple trials as well.
