Not sure what the sales looked like a couple of weeks ago but I ordered mine last week. I was just browsing through the MK website and saw the Miranda on sale. I texted the hubby and he told me to go ahead order it and return my selma. After I ordered it I had buyers remorse I've never spent that much money on a handbag before.

I had been drooling over both your Mirandas they are gorgeous. :loveeyes::heart:

Thank you! I think you caught the same sale I was referring to. It was like 30% off! Now the bag is no longer on the website. (sold out) The Miranda is definitely an expensive bag, but so worth it IMO, especially on sale. :love:
 
I Felt that remorse after my first gucci/LV purchases. It kinda made my armpits sweat LOL!!! Cost per wear, only 1 LV neverfull was really worth it and ALL I should have purchased in the first place. I have 3 now. My damier GM neverfull I use for travel has made me feel less like faking my own death during family vacations, everything fits in one bag, my hubbys phone, kids crap, nook hd, ear plugs, plane tickets etc......... it can take a beating and still looks new after being jammed under numerous filthy seats. Your miranda is SAFE from all that abuse.

My vote is for miranda. Never ever have buyer's remorse. It's a beautiful bag and you deserve it!!

Yeah I couldn't buy it from that MK online sale, the price was so good :nogood:
I live in Australia and I tried to contact MK by email to see if they will ship it to other countries. They did not respond to my email and their Live Chat option is no longer available.
So disappointed I couldn't get that great price even though it was in my face for weeks!!

I can't decide if I should keep the medium selma in fuschia or the extra small Miranda in elephant. The selma I bought at the beginning of December and haven't used her yet. The Miranda just came in the mail today.

I love the fuschia color but somehow cant seem to pull the color off with my wardrobe. It's my first ever bright colored bag. The Miranda is just so pretty and I love that it comes with silver hardware. I'm just afraid I'll have to baby her all the time.

2 stars, which one did you end up picking?
I also own the same two bags and I haven't used the Fuchsia Med Selma yet.
I have just sprayed the XS Miranda with rain & stain protector last week but too afraid to use it as the weather in Australia has been bad this whole week with rain & thunderstorm.
Have you tried putting items into the XS Miranda? I put my items in and there is no problem if I use the short handles but when I carried it with the long strap, the bag will become imbalance as the leather is soft i.e. tilting to left or right which is annoying.
Please let me know your experience so far with your XS Miranda. Thanks in advance!!
 
Coivcte,
I have decided to return medium fuschia selma. After having her for a month I still don't see myself using her. Now I'm debating if I want to keep the xs Miranda. I found a line going down 1 of the sides. I contacted customer care and she said I had to email pictures. They finally emailed me back yesterday and told me if I wasn't satisfied with my purchase to return the handbag. Obviously not the response I was hoping for and couldn't believe that was their way of fixing my issue. I did purchase it on sale but that doesn't mean im supposed to receive a damaged handbag. Can you see the line I'm talking about?

Coivcte,
I did try my stuff in the Miranda and it fits perfectly. I actually like it better than how it fits in my Selma's. I like the 2 interior pockets better than the pockets on the medium selma. If I decide to keep her I still have to purchase a leather protecter and spray her before I use her.

Here is my stuff in my medium black selma. I only zip it when carrying it cross body. The 2 slip pockets inside are very hard to get into so I never put anything there. Michael Kors should consider making changes to that.

For the life of me, I can't figure out your picture. LOL! Is it sideways? I can't even tell which is the top, front, or back of your bag. And I can't see the line you're talking about.

I can imagine that it would be hard to get to and use the slip pockets inside the medium Selma. In the large, they're easier to get to.

So sorry to hear about the fault and how MK responded, does that mean they won't offer an exchange? Or they no longer have the bag in stock? I can see the line, is it a mark or is it a fold (minor indentation)?

I use a purse organiser and I tried to fit the whole organiser with contents into the XS Miranda. The bag look so small but to my surprise everything fits fine, I suppose partly its due to the soft leather. However when I use the long strap on my shoulder or as a cross body bag, the bag starts to tilt to one side and I had to keep adjusting it.

2 stars, please try to carry the bag with the long strap and let me know of your opinion or experience. Thank you in advance!

I find the same issue with the Medium Selma where the inner pockets are difficult to access but have no problem with the Large Selma. I agree that the design of Medium Selma has to change a bit i.e. to lower the inner pocket slightly and move it away from the top zip area for easy access.

Sorry I posted the last pic from my phone and had no idea it posted sideways. The line almost looks like a shadow in the picture but it's more of a crease. MK can't exchange it because it's sold out everywhere :nogood:

What color is your miranda?

2 stars, I don't know if you are responding to me or coivcte, but I see the shadow now. If that's a crease, but the soft leather isn't actually damaged, I'd say live with it, if you can. Since the bag is completely sold out, you can no longer do an exchange. If you really are unhappy with it, return it.

I believe coivcte has the same size and color Miranda as you. Mine are both large and neither has any such creases.
