Thank you so much [emoji38]..this colour looks amazing..I hope it looks the same also in saffiano leather
I've been straying away from MK lately, not loving the new styles. I decided to check out MK.ca this morning since I got an email about sales and something caught my eye... medium ava in cinder.. on sale! I don't need it right?? I like the ava style and love the cinder colour, but just how functional is the bag for daily use??
I actually really love the style of the Ava, it's a cute crossbody that looks like it could fit a decent amount. KS had a similar style bag without the top handle bit (Cedar Street Magnolia) however it was a little smaller than I'd have liked, whereas the Medium Ava seems like a good size based on everyone's pictures. Let us know what you decide to do as well as which other brands you've been enjoying[emoji5]
I got my hands on an antique rose medium Ava! It's the only pink I've found that suits me so I knew I would absolutely regret it if I let it go. I took it out to work for the first time last week, and it fit almost everything my Jet Set Top Zip Tote usually carries (I don't overstuff my tote though). I had to downsize to a folding wallet but everything fit perfectly (sunglasses, wallet, makeup bag, keys, folded papers, odds and ends). I found that if the two button clasps on the sides are undone, the magnetic clasp has a hard time catching. When the buttons are clasped, the magnetic clasp catches without much guidance at all. I didn't have a hard time using it even though it isn't a top zip style, but it might not be convenient if you need to be going in and out of your purse frequently.
I was also worried that MK had changed the style of the Ava, since the new product images show the Ava being taller and sleeker than before. I'm happy to report that my Ava looks exactly like last year's Avas. The weird thing is the lining says 'Michael Kors' all over it, which is what I expect to see in outlet bags (such as the outlet Florence). I bought my Ava off MK.com, so that was a bit off-putting to find that it didn't have the block MK lining. I did get three antique rose wallets that all had the block MK lining, so I have no idea what they're doing over there.

I don't like the new lining much at all either... saw it in a few boutique bags.
My first Ava in cinder [emoji4]
finally got something with shw [emoji173]️
I really like this style and it looks gorgeous in this colour, enjoy[emoji5]
Thank you [emoji4] I like the style but hesitate to pull the trigger because of the fold-over flap. I loaded her up last night and saw it's not too difficult for the flap to snap. I really like the size, the medium one fits all my essentials.
The flap is my favorite part, is it magnetic? I really like the size, it seems like it can hold quite a bit. Would you happen to have a picture of it loaded up with what fits? If not I'm sure I can scroll through the thread and find one[emoji5]
Yes the flap has magnetic snap but I find it if I put too much or overstuffed the bag, that makes it more difficult for the magnetic to snap. This is the reason why I get the medium size. I'll take pictures over the weekend what I can fit in this bag [emoji4]
Oh that makes sense you don't want to carry too much else it won't stay closed. Thank you so much, that would be amazing and totally appreciated[emoji5]
Thank you for the color comparisons!
I'd love to see a comparison too!
Lovely!Medium Ava in Ballet
Sorry it was busy month just have a chance to take pictures what's in my Ava bag. I don't carry much when wearing this bag only my wristlet, wallet, phone and sunglasses. I can fit them all in main compartment without having the side buttons undone. There is slip pocket in the back where I put Kleenex and wipes. Hope this helps [emoji4]
