Here's the Red Cupid that came today. I took pictures before really examining it. Like it... not sure if I love it, though.

Like other people have said, the handles DO seem too thin:

The thin handle is not as obvious in this pic since this handle is wrapped (but it's a cute bag, no? I wish the handles were actually this thick):

I like the way it looks crossbody:

The color is not as deep as I remember from Nordstrom, but it's still quite pretty:

The leather is amazing. Soft, thick, and distressed.

The Red MAM also came today. Don't know where to post this pic, so here it is (IMO, the texture on this one is not as nice as the Cupid. Not as distressed):

I do like the red leather but thin handles......:-s hmmm...not so sure about that. Is either one a keeper??
 
Gosh, I love the Red leather on your Cupid & the MAM, I need a MAC in this leather for sure!!!
Love the way the Cupid looks cross body as well, That is how I would wear it if I owned one.
Are you keeping the MAM too??

The MAM will probably go back. It's actually a beautiful bag... but for some reason, I'm drawn more to the Cupid for this color. Maybe because it's slighter larger and has the crossbody option.

The Cupid... I just don't know. Will think about it for a few days. It is such a stunning color. I don't think F/W Bal Coquelicot is going to be my type of red, so this may be my last shot at a red for the next year or so.

Oh, this leather would be amazing in a MAC!

I wish the Cupid had the same handles as the MAM. Have no idea why RM made the handles so thin... :shrugs:
 
congrats riry on the red cupid :smile1: i like how it looks on u when worn cross-body. in fact seeing your pics makes me view cupid in a different light .. so gorgeous! i agree the bag will look even better if the 2 short handles are thicker but personally i think the cupid will be more of a cross-body bag i.e. i will not be using the short handle much.

wow the new lavender look really pretty :heart:
 
Those other colors are lovely...

Sadly, ladies, I'll be returning the Cupid. As much as I love the color and leather, it's just not the bag for me. I've been staring at it for a few hours now, and can't get past the thin handles. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind them-this bag is larger and heavier than the MAM, yet the handles are considerably thinner. :confused1:
 
I have looked at pics of it a lot and it looks a little bulky to me, also I asked my daughter if she liked it (laurenrr) and she hadn't seen it yet, so I sent her some pics and she said no I don't like the shape of it. So that did it for me! I like her taste in bags! : )

to me it looks like a laptop bag or carry on bag for travel, which is fine if thats what i was looking for, but as a handbag i am not feeling it!
