Yes, I think so. The navy color is classy enough to use it for work and the canvas makes it possible to dress down with jeans or sneakers.

I assume I will keep it and the price was great. Matches already has good (and still old) prices and I had a 20% voucher on top.

Here is another photo in better light.

Since I've got some time today, I just took a couple of pictures of my white/blue Saffiano bucket:) it's regular sized and I got it from Barney's.

I'm really pleased to say that the saffiano leather has really stood up well to dirt and daily wear. I think I've only wiped it down with leather care wipes twice in the 2mths I've has it and I think it still looks pretty pristine. I am careful with it but not precious abt it as I'll put it on the floor of my car, or at ppls houses.
I'd expect the black saffiano (which Barney's now has online fr sale!! :yahoo: ) would be even more fuss-free.

Just received my first MG bucket today! It's the Black/Oro regular bucket - and while I love the metallic interior, I'm on the fence as to whether I should keep it as its bigger and stiffer than I expected.

I''m used to big bags (in fact I generally prefer them bigger!) and ive seen other posters my height (5'5") carrying it beautifully, I think I'm not used to how structured the bag is and how big it sits on my hip! In retrospect, perhaps a mini in tumbled leather would have been a better fit for me but I'm not confident I'll find one, plus black regular bucket is so classic (and hopefully the leather will soften with use?).

Help!! Anyone felt this way at first and then grew to love the bag? Can you share your experience and advice as to whether I should keep it or move on??

The size doesn't look too big on you...but it all comes down to personal preference.
I had to get used to the stiff structure, in the beginning, too.

I think it looks great on you. It does take some getting used to but once you do you will be addicted! The bag is totally different in the tumbled leather, very little structure. I think the beauty of the bag is the stiffness and structure and near weightlessness. But it's all a matter of personal taste.

Thanks, the bag seems less unwieldy in photos than real life for some reason. i think i was expecting a more casual bag but I'm starting to look at it differently and the bag is definitely growing on me ..☺️

Thanks, I think you're right. I've never owned such a light yet structured bag before. Maybe until the leather softens a bit or at least loses some of the brand-new stiffness, I will use it for more put-together outfits (if you know what I mean?). Right now it doesn't work so well with shorts and tees, or loose casual clothes. Or maybe I need the MG canvas buckets for those type of outfits? Hmmm, there's a thought...😁

I think the regular looks great on you & proportions are right on. You can wear the black bucket with loose and casual clothes (my office has a relaxed dress code), I have been and it pulls the look together because it is structured! Perhaps you're just not used to it -- the black bucket is so versatile

it has to work for you-really doesn't matter what we think if you're not feeling it.
