I noticed that too! Perhaps the bigger Madeleine will still have a front pocket? Or perhaps they did the photoshoot before making the decision to eliminate the pocket?
On another front, go back and look at the Mademoiselle pics and tell me if you think they did a smaller version than the Fall 2017 line, like a mini-Mademoiselle???? It's so hard to tell the scale, maybe I'm imagining it.
I was at the new Omotesando, Tokyo store today and they had a mini Mademoiselle in black in stock! The SA said this new store will regularly receive select stock before other stores worldwide, which is why it was there. The mini size was really cute - obviously small but pretty spacious because of the depth. Unrelated to SS18 but there were two other Mademoiselles exclusive to the Omotesando store there. One small in black with metallic gold leather where the perforated section would be, and a mini size in bright red with gold. Both had the shorter straps only rather than short plus cross body. The straps had a gorgeous floral embroidered pattern. I wasn't able to take pics unfortunately, but they were beautiful!
