I have to have this bag but in which color? I thought I would buy the Navy until I saw it in Mandarin! Ladies who have this bag in lighter color, is there any issue with color transfer? Thank you in advance for the advice!!!

I don't have a Selma yet but I would like one in Navy so I'm a bit bias. If you are worried about color transfer, I suggest buying a Michael Kors leather cleaner. It's worth the $10. I used it on my Tangerine saffiano that my toddler wrote on (exterior) and it took off the pen marks with repeated application/wiping. When I bought it, the MK sales associate said that this should be the ONLY cleaner used on MK leather - something about the vegetable die MK uses - other cleaner may rub off the color but the MK cleaner is "safe" to use and color will not come off. I can certainly say it's true!

Awww, finally an answer! Thank you very much for the reply and the information about MK leather cleaner. It's really helpful. Will get it as well when I buy the bag sometimes next week. :hugs:

I'm glad I could help! It looks like the Navy is disappearing online. I've had to call MK boutiques to find it. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you wanted the Navy :)
 
Thank you! Yeah I think I will get the navy. I called Zalando's customer service where the bag in that color is availaable and she told me it's actually neon orange and not deep terracotta like it looks in that picture :smile1:

I've seen the Mandarin IRL is the Jet set tote and it's is NOT neon orange. It is an orange red. Terracotta is a good description. It has more red than Tangerine for sure, has a little more red than Coach's Carnelian but a more orange than Coach's Vermillion. Hope this helps!

Does it look like in the picture on the one I put above? (That's from Zalando's website, in MK shop they don't have that color)

I live in Germany and I have seen a couple of stores that carry Selma in Navy but you're right, I have to get it as soon as I can before it disappears completely. All the websites that carry Selma Navy in Germany are out of stock. Looks like this is an 'It' bag from MK :smile1:

The color above looks flat and doesn't do justice to the color IRL IMO. It is closer to the MK Saffiano red and is in the same depth and richness of color as the MK saffiano red.

If you can get the Navy now, go for it. I called 3 MK boutiques around me, 2 of them only had the display left. I lucked out on the 3rd did a charge-send on their last non-display Navy. SA said that this bag is VERY popular in specific colors (white, navy, yellow, green) and have been selling out.

Thank you soooo much for the information. You are very very helpful. I'll get the back next week as I just sold a bag and the silly Paypal is witholding my money until my bag reaches the buyer. What a bummer. But again thaaaaank youuuuuu!!!!! :smile1:
