My small peanut Riley came from Macy's, and she was packaged TERRIBLY. Not in a box, but shoved into a too tight envelope/ paper sack type thing. She was wrinkled, and the tag was not attached. I opened her to find one measly piece of paper inside to stuff her, and inside the bag I found the receipt. The tag was STAPLED to the receipt with the bottom of the tag ripped off ( where the price usually is.) There was also no storage bag. I know sometimes bags don't have them, but for a $298 bag ( originally ) I expected one. As far as the bag itself goes, I do like it. I'm thinking it was a return. It's a great size for me, being sons all. The wrinkles have smoothed out. It hangs a little funny cross body. Actually, I think I'm getting neurotic about how bags hang crossbody! Lol. I have medium Selma messenger, and I almost like how it hangs better cross body. The stiffness doesn't bother me. Debating if I should keep Riley. ( and waiting till my hubby sees his Macy's bill!) lol
So pretty! Would you say the small interior is pretty roomy? I love Riley but Large would be too much for me
Sorry to hear that. Mine also came from Macy's and the dustbag was hiding inside, but at least it was stuffed. I think mine was also a return because it did not have the price on the tag (it was ripped) and it did not have any other wrapping besides the tissue paper on the zipper. I am wondering if all the rileys they shipped out from online were returns now. Mine luckily had no damage and was packaged properly, and came with a dustbag so I didn't mind. But I know how awful it is to see a bag carelessly packed like that and without a heads up that we are receiving returns.
What's most important is if you like it or not, and whether you can deal with the quality and condition. The leather is supple and luxurious so I think it should be okay in due time but maybe see if you can bring it to your local Macy's and do an even exchange if they have it in stock, if it bothers you? Large peanut riley is sold out online now on Macys and Nordstroms website so I knew I wanted to keep mine even if it was a return.
Post pics
I know I already posted this pic when I bought her but then I lost my mind and returned her.. Then I realized how stupid that was to return it...Not knowing what love I would have for this bag.. This is by far my favorite bag!!! and after receiving the damaged Greenwich this baby is on presale .. I had to hunt one down since a lot of places were sold out and I was not going to have her shipped so happy to say she will be mine again and will never go back to that store once she comes home just a little pale blue sky [emoji175][emoji175] ... Yes another Riley can't wait to take a Riley family picture 
I wish I would have take a pic I still think you could fit slot of stuff in it. But I can't remember.. What about a medium size that might be perfect [emoji6] Riley is such an awesome bag and the leather is soooooo soft and pretty I could sniff and touch her all day let me know what you decide
Good for you! Can't wait for the pictures!
If it ever stops raining long enough here, I will get to carry mine. It really is such a pretty color. I'm like you with also having a pale blue Cindy, but I think you can never have too many blue bags.
We're twins 😊😊😊😊 at least our Cindys have different color hardware 😉 it's a beautiful color 😍😍 I agree especially since you can wear blue with so many things
Can't wait for you to wear yours
I just ordered presale for this Sunday's 25% off at my local Macy's. Will be shipped to me. They only have one left and with scratches.
I saw the medium one, tried both medium and large. I am 5'4,130lbs. Large one does not look too big at all and it is not a heavy bag.
If u want to wear sideway on your shoulder, just shorten the belt, just looks fine.
The large one looks more like louis vuitton lock it, I prefer the shape of large over the medium one.

Excellent point about the hardware colors! I like the way you think, lol. Hopefull I can wear her soon. We are in a rainy spell lately, and that's when the saffiano or pebbled leather comes out to play.
What color did you get? I'm 5'3" and yes the large is a perfect size, not too big at all! Just nice and roomy
The leather is so soft and the bag is sooo light. I love it! This bag is perfect for lighter colors and darker colors...really great bagWhat color did you get? I'm 5'3" and yes the large is a perfect size, not too big at all! Just nice and roomy
Yes, agree on large not big at all. I was not sure b4 i saw in real person as I am only 5'4, not tall. Cant wait to get it!
I ordered the large one in pale blue. They have water melon on sale, but I love the pale blue.
BTW, yesterday I also saw some mk bags in blossom pink. So pretty!
I think the Riley is gorgeous in any size. All this hog wash, about genuine soft leather creasing, etc. just blows my mind! I have been carrying leather bags for 40 years and I have many that still look great that are over 35 years old. If you do crease the bag for some odd reason, it comes out quite easily. All you have to do is stuff it and let sit for a couple hours, if that. Really you can just put your stuff in it and it will be fine. . I have my large pink Tristan which is very similar to the Riley in the same soft leather, stuffed in the saddle bag of my motorcycle all the time. I take it out and it looks fine.I even fold in half and it shakes right out!
The Riley is a beautiful bag in any size. It all depends how much you have to carry what size you should get, because it's not just about how it will LOOK. It also matters what your needs are. Do you carry a lot? If so , go with the large. I always think it is much better to have too much room, than not enough.
Here is a pic of me with my large Tristan, which is about the same size as the large Riley. Keep in mind that I am very short at only 5 feet tall. You can tell, because my pants are too long, as always! lol! By the way, I had just taken this out of my saddle bags that I had it stuffed into...Do you see any creases?? lol!
