So after really reviewing my collection I ended up selling my black Riley. I really loved it but my goal was to purchase a comfortable bag that would transition from my bulkier Selma, and the large was still pretty bulky for me. I also didn't think I would carry it enough to justify the 300 dollar cost (on sale). I regret it a little because it's such a gorgeous bag, but I'm trying to keep my collection practical and to save my money for bags that I'll really use. That being said, I want the medium dark dune SO bad!!!!! The medium works better crossbody on me and I don't have anything dark dune. I can't wait for a sale!!

Medium dark dune looks great on you! I just love the dark dune color. I think you made the right choice as medium still looks very roomy.

Aww, I understand your regret. You made the right choice, but definitely get something that will fit your needs! I myself am looking at the small & medium Riley in black. If I find a good deal I'm snatching it up!

Looks lovely on you! i love the small Riley but never could find one on sale. Good for you for choosing based upon your needs, nothing wrong with liking a bag but not all of them can work for us.

Thanks girls! I really have been second guessing myself, but DD is really special and I think I should save my money for it. I felt like my collection was being overrun by satchels and I didn't have any super comfy bags (besides my Selma messenger) that I could just throw on and go. I think I need to be more mindful of having shoulder bags too because satchels aren't practical for me all the time. It's hard with all these damn pretty bags!!!! If only I won the powerball last week [emoji20]

Dark Dune Riley looks great on you Bootlover! Go for it. Dark Dune is a fabulous colour, I use my DD medium Selma non stop. Is the long strap on the longest setting in your picture? I'm just wondering how a Riley would work cross body for a taller gal. I'm keen for a soft leather bag next... ;)

Thank you!!! I have a pearl grey Selma in large and I've been dying for something in DD for ages. I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure it was not on the longest setting. I only say that because usually I have to adjust it. I can't wait for a sale!!!

How do you like Pearl Grey? Such a pretty colour! Sadly the strap on Riley is too short for me to wear crossbody. I had the opportunity to try it out today. Such a shame as lovely soft leather. Go for it with DD! Goes with everything!

Pearl grey is beautiful, sort of shade you can wear all year round. And love the SHW. Not giving up with Riley completely. It was the large I tried on last night. Will try to find a medium or a small to try. I agree the leather is lush! You won't regret the DD I'm sure!

New to MK, fell in love with Riley- simple, elegant! Large in Cherry, would consider a seasonless color. Got it on sale (40% off!) at Nordstroms.

I absolutely love cherry!!! Great choice and yes I agree, a seasonless color

I really want to pull the trigger on my first large Riley which is currently on sale but unfortunately I just cannot decide between Cinder with SHW and Pearl Grey with SWH! :shame: They are both beautiful colors and so chic in their own ways... originally I tended to go towards the "truer" grey which would be Pearl Grey but I just cannot get over how beautiful and unique Cinder is. I have seen none of them in real life on soft leather, I am more familiar with the Saffianos of MK, but they are both screaming my name so loudly that I just cannot make a decision.

What would you do? :weird:

If you can, take a look at them in real life. I feel that cinder looks better on saffiano leather than soft leather.
